Ekta Kapoor Reveals Why She Chose Kangana Ranaut As Host For ‘Lock Upp’, Says She Is ‘Non-Biased’ And A ‘Clutter-Breaker’

The Indian reality show, Lock Upp,  has caught the audience’s fancy and has hooked the viewers from its very first episode. The show recently garnered 200 million views which is a huge milestone, to be honest! The drama that it brings with every episode is something that the audience loves to watch. Lock Upp is produced by Ekta Kapoor and Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut hosts it. Along with the dramatic episodes, people are also loving Kangana and seeing her as a host is quite refreshing as well. Ekta Kapoor has recently opened up about why she decided to choose the Gangster actor to host the show.

In an interview with The Quint, Ekta Kapoor has shared why she zeroed in on Kangana Ranaut as the host of Lock Upp. She said that Ranaut is ‘non-biased’ towards the participants of the show and was the perfect ‘clutter-breaker’. She also said that when the show was getting conceptualised, she wanted it to be hosted by a woman which was something that was not seen before. Taking about the Queen actor’s thought process, Kapoor said that she has strong views and even she does not agree with her at times. But since they have mutual respect for each other, they can work together well.
