Payal accuses Lock Upp host Kangana of using Alia’s name for creating controversy & publicity
Payal Rohatgi is one of the 16 contestants on the reality show Lock Upp, and is known for her outspoken statements. The show debuted on Sunday night and has already gotten a lot of attention. Payal accused Kangana Ranaut, the show’s host, of using Alia Bhatt’s name to stir up controversy and gain exposure. Kangana Ranaut’s recent jibe on Alia Bhatt’s film Gangubai Kathiawadi prompted the former Bigg Boss competitor to respond.
Payal was asked by a reporter why she is appearing in an ALT Balaji show, given her previous criticism of the platform, before she entered the show. Payal responded by saying that personal judgments differ from professional equations. She also mentioned Kangana Ranaut’s feud with producer Ekta Kapoor, despite the fact that Kangana was the star of her show.
This comparison did not sit well with the host who said, “Do not piggy back on me. Talk about your own experiences, do not use my past experiences. Do not take my name.” Payal responded by saying that she just used herself as an example because she was seated in front of her.
“So, you would still talk of someone else’s experiences. You are still not saying that you would talk about your own experiences. You just proved my allegations right,” Kangana said.
Responding to Kangana’s remark, Payal said, “Why then do you use others’ names? I can also say that you piggyback on Alia Bhatt’s name and (are using) Gangubai Kathiwadi for the sake of grabbing attention.” Kangana said, “Do not talk about me, I create my own controversies, that is my opinion about them.”
