Riteish Deshmukh appears on Lock Upp 2 to confront contestant Yogesh Rawat after Rawat comments that the show’s TRP drops following his eviction. In the exchange, Deshmukh challenges the premise that viewership depends on any single participant, saying the show’s appeal is broader than one contestant’s presence. Deshmukh then orders Rawat’s exit, citing Rawat’s attitude and the tone of his remarks.

Both accounts describe a confrontational, high-drama moment in which Rawat reacts to being removed and asks for forgiveness for his behaviour. Deshmukh responds with an ultimatum and does not allow Rawat to stay. The episode frames the incident as a clash over tone and accountability, rather than production decisions, with Deshmukh emphasizing that contestants do not control TRP and that disrespectful conduct results in consequences on the show.
