Lock Upp: Kangana Ranaut calls SRK, Priyanka Chopra, Akshay, Ranveer ‘failed’ hosts
Kangana Ranaut, who is currently seen as the host of reality show Lock Upp, commended herself as a 'superstar host' as she boasted about her hosting skills. Kangana said that several successful actors have failed at hosting, including Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar, and Ranveer Singh. She noted that only she, Bigg Boss host Salman Khan, and Kaun Banega Crorepati host Amitabh Bachchan have been successful as a host.
The actress talked about Lock Upp's success once again as she named her fellow actors as unsuccessful hosts. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Kangana Ranaut wrote, “Many successful actors have tried their hands on hosting like SRK, Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh… they may have successful careers but they failed at hosting they are unsuccessful hosts, so far only Shri Amitabh Bachchan ji ,Salman Khan ji and Kangana Ranaut have achieved this glory to be a super star host… privileged to be in this league.”
The actress, who in her previous post had said that a lot of people from the film industry are crying at the success of her show, once again claimed that people are jealous of her work as a host. She wrote, “I wish I didn't have to state the obvious but jealous movie mafia is doing everything to discredit me and my show so I had to do the needful and I don't mind… if I can stand up for everyone else I can stand up for myself also… it is wonderful to be the only successful host of this generation #lockupp.”
This comes after the actor said in an interview with Editorji that she was a little concerned about making a debut as Lock Upp host as many successful actors have failed at the task. Kangana said, "I know I have a strong personality, but still, the amount of actors who have failed in hosting, especially those who have empowering personalities, intelligent views of the world. I thought I may be good but I will take time to get accepted and to get a hang of it."
Ektaa Kapoor created reality show Lock Upp streams on Alt Balaji and MX Player all seven days with Kangana's judgement day episode airing on the weekends. The show recently went past 200 million views, after which Kangana had taken a dig at Karan Johar.
