The digital reality show ‘Lock Upp’ has been making headlines for some time now. Producer Ekta Kapoor was recently asked about the massive success of the show and she credits it all to actors Karan Kundrra and Kangana Ranaut.
Kapoor and Kundrra were leaving the sets of the show when they were stopped by paparazzi who asked Kapoor as to who she credits the success of the show. She seemed to be in a hurry and was quick to reply. “Jailor se pucho, isne aur Kangana ne kiya hai." (Ask the jailor, him and Kangana have done it),” she said to a Times of India photographer.
