Bollywood’s most eagerly awaited reality show just had its grand launch — and even before its Netflix premiere on June 27, 2026, Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2 is already making headlines. Not just for the excitement around the show, but for a press conference moment that went viral almost instantly, where co-host Riteish Deshmukh delivered a firm, dignified shutdown to a questionable media question about his close friends Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt.

What Happened at the Lock Upp 2 Press Conference?
A media personnel asked Riteish whether he would invite Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt onto the show — referencing their real-life legal troubles as a reason. The question was framed in a manner that many found deeply inappropriate.
Riteish didn’t lose his cool, but he made his feelings crystal clear. He responded firmly: “Sabse pehle mujhe nahin lagta hai ki aapke sawal ka jawab deke main usko koi dignity dena chahunga.” When pushed further, he reiterated that as a host, he has no say over which contestants appear, adding: “Jo bhi guests aate hai Lock Upp mein, unse hum baat karte hai.”
It was a masterclass in handling a distasteful question with grace and authority.

The Show’s Grand Premise
Lock Upp is one of India’s most provocative reality formats, where celebrity contestants are held captive and face weekly tasks, eliminations, and dramatic confrontations while competing to win. Season 2 pairs the hilarious energy of Riteish Deshmukh with the no-nonsense wit of Farah Khan — a duo that Netflix VP Monika Shergill described brilliantly at the launch event, saying that their charm, humor, and devilish chemistry are sure to spice things up.
Shergill also joked that if one ever needed to go to jail, Farah and Riteish would make for the most entertaining jailers around.
