Lock Upp: Payal Rohatgi Says Kangana Ranaut Uses Alia Bhatt’s Name For Publicity, Actress Loses Her Cool

Kangana
Ranaut’s
much-awaited
show
Lock
Upp
premiered
yesterday
(February
27)
on
ALTBalaji
and
MX
Player.
The
reality
series
features
several
controversial
celebrities
including
Payal
Rohatgi,
who
has
always
been
in
the
news
for
multiple
reasons.

While
host
Kangana
introduced
the
contestants,
Payal
got
into
an
argument
with
the

Queen
star,
ahead
of
her
entry
as
a
participant
on
the
show.
Whilst
defending
herself
in
front
of
a
media
panel,
Payal
ended
up
saying
that
Kangana
uses
Alia
Bhatt’s
name
for
the
sake
of
publicity.
This
irked
Ranaut
and
she
then
asked
Payal
to
talk
about
her
own
controversies.

For
the
uninitiated,
Payal
was
asked
why
she’s
working
in
an
ALT
Balaji
show
when
she
had
criticised
the
platform
in
the
past.
Rohatgi
said
that
her
personal
opinions
may
be
different
from
professional
equations
and
added
that
even
host
Kangana
had
a
difference
of
opinions
with
producer
Ekta
Kapoor,
but
she
continues
to
work
with
her.

At
this
point,
Kangana
lost
her
temper
and
said,
“Do
not
piggy
back
on
me.
Talk
about
your
own
experiences,
do
not
use
my
past
experiences.
Do
not
take
my
name.” Payal
then
replied
to
Kangana
by
stating
that
she
only
mentioned
her
as
she
was
sitting
right
in
front
of
her.
Rohatgi
said,
“I
would
have
named
someone
else
if
you
were
not
present
here.”

Kangana
was
in
no
mood
to
entertain
her
and
she
reacted
by
saying,
“So,
you
would
still
talk
of
someone
else’s
experiences.
You
are
still
not
saying
that
you
would
talk
about
your
own
experiences.
You
just
proved
my
allegations
right.” For
the
uninitiated,
according
to
the
format
of
the
show,
contestants
are
given
a
set
of
charges
that
they
are
supposed
to
defend
themselves
against
during
their
stint
on
the
show.
Payal
was
told
that
she
cashes
in
on
others’
controversies
for
the
sake
of
publicity.

Payal
then
hit
back
at
Kangana
saying,
“Why
then
do
you
use
others’
names?
I
can
also
say
that
you
piggy
back
on
Alia
Bhatt’s
name
and
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
for
the
sake
of
grabbing
attention.” Kangana
once
again
reminded
her
not
to
talk
about
her
and
added,
“I
create
my
own
controversies,
that
is
my
opinion
about
them.”
