Riteish Deshmukh Takes Action Against Yogesh Rawat Over TRP Comments
Riteish Deshmukh confronted Yogesh Rawat on Lock Upp after the contestant claimed the show’s ratings dropped following his exit and suggested his return boosted viewership.
Reality show Lock Upp witnessed a major controversy after host Riteish Deshmukh reacted strongly to Yogesh Rawat’s remarks about the show’s TRP and his comeback.
Yogesh Rawat returned to the show after defeating Dheeraj Dhoopar in a challenge. After entering the jail, he discussed his comeback with fellow contestants and claimed that the show’s ratings had declined after he was eliminated.
He suggested that the makers brought him back because of the drop in TRP, a comment that caught Riteish Deshmukh’s attention.
During the episode, Riteish questioned Yogesh about his statements and criticized the confidence behind his remarks. The host told him that the success of Lock Upp depends on the collective efforts of the entire team, including the makers, platform and contestants.
Riteish also reminded Yogesh that his elimination was the result of a task and not a personal decision by the host or production team.
When Yogesh tried to explain that he was only sharing his opinion, Riteish responded that the way he presented his thoughts showed arrogance.
The actor-host then took a strict decision and announced Yogesh’s termination from the show, stating that contestants must take responsibility for their words.
The confrontation came after another heated exchange between Riteish and Yogesh in an earlier episode, where the host had also expressed his disappointment over the contestant’s attitude.
Yogesh’s exit has created a major discussion among viewers, with fans debating whether Riteish’s decision was justified.
The latest controversy has added another dramatic twist to Lock Upp, keeping audiences engaged with the reality show’s intense conflicts.
