The list of contestants on Kangana Ranaut's show Lock Upp includes Sunil Pal, Payal Rohatgi, and Poonam Pandey.

-

On February 27, Kangana Ranaut presented the reality show Lock Upp, which was produced by Ekta Kapoor and premiered on ALT Balaji and MX Player. The names of five of the show's 16 contentious competitors were released by the producers prior to the show's grand premiere. Every candidate was revealed individually on the night of the debut, and as expected, the contestants are controversial personalities who have recently made headlines for the wrong reasons.

From Sunil Pal to Payal Rohatgi to Poonam Pandey, here’s the list of contestants on Kangana Ranaut’s show Lock Upp

The following is the full list of contestants:


Nisha Rawal made headlines last year after accusing her then-husband Karan Mehra of physical violence and having an adulterous affair. She had also filed a police report against him and organised a news conference to discuss the alleged domestic abuse in greater detail. Karan, on the other hand, has refuted all charges.


Munawar Faruqui: The stand-up comedian made headlines in January 2021 when he was imprisoned for a month after a BJP MLA's son accused him of offending religious sensitivities in one of his stand-up gigs. Several of his live gigs in Bengaluru were cancelled later that year due to protests by Hindu right-wing groups.

Poonam Pandey: In addition to her roles in pornographic films, Poonam made headlines when she filed a lawsuit against her husband, Sam Bombay, alleging molestation, threats, and violence. She was also a suspect in a pornography investigation.


Babita Phogat: One of the less controversial competitors, Babita won the gold medal in the women's freestyle 55 kg division at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. She and her husband Vivek Suhag had previously been on the show Nach Baliye 9.

Sara Khan rose to fame after appearing on Bigg Boss 4 and marrying Ali Merchant on the show. They split, however, after only a few months, sparking suspicions about whether their marriage was staged for the purpose of gaining TRP.


Karanvir Bohra, who has appeared in Shararat, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and Naagin, was also a contestant on Bigg Boss 12.


Payal Rohatgi has been in a number of films and television shows. She is, nevertheless, frequently in the news for her divisive remarks on a variety of national issues.


Tehseen Poonawala is a lawyer and a human rights campaigner. Tehseen has previously appeared in Bigg Boss 13 and Bigg Boss 14.

Siddharth Sharma has appeared on reality shows such as Big F and Splitsvilla, as well as playing Ranbir in the web series Puncch Beat.


Shivam Sharma was once a member of Splitsvilla.


Anjali Arora: I'm Anjali Arora, and I'm Anjali is a well-known social media personality.


Sunil Pal is the first champion of the Great Indian Laughter Challenge and has made headlines for his outspoken utterances.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Exorcism review – Russell Crowe v the Devil in cursed horror about a cursed horror

-
The actor plays an actor struggling with a demonically bad film shoot in a well-made yet increasingly messy chiller Like many other dethroned A-listers of his generation, Oscar winner Russell Crowe has found himself a steady career hustling far further down the food chain, headlining B-movies he once would have balked at. The last few years have seen the famed actor crop up in gonzo road rage thriller Unhinged , shepherd the other Hemsworths in war drama Land of Bad , lead the barely released crime thriller Sleeping Dogs earlier this year and become the pope’s exorcist in The Pope’s Exorcist . The latter became something of a surprise hit, first theatrically and then on Netflix, albeit in a rather jokey way, the film most easily remembered for the many memes of Crowe on a scooter. Its success was such that it not only guaranteed a sequel (The Pope’s Exorcist 2 is coming), but it also led to another of his exorcism movies getting saved from streaming hell and being delivered to th...
