Lock Upp: Kangana Ranaut responds to fan about Mandana Karimi's affair, abortion secret

In an earlier episode of reality show Lock Upp, contestant Mandana Karimi revealed that she was involved with a known director, and how the two planned a baby together, but when it happened he backed down.

Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut was seen wiping tear from her eyes. On Monday, Kangana responded to social media users commending her for dealing with the situation so well.

On her Instagram handle, the 35-year-old actress posted a screenshot of a tweet, lauding her. The tweet reads, “Don't know who this director is. But what he did with Mandana Karimi sounds so horribly sick. The way he used her in his lowest low time was pathetic and I am amazed with the way Kangana Ranaut managed this situation and consoled her. She is an awesome host.”

Kangana Ranaut responded to the tweet on Instagram, saying, “Lock Upp is a celebration of both beauty and brutality of life. When we share our pain and our wounds we deserve love and compassion. I hope people don't judge her. Life is anyway not easy for a woman.”

When Mandana Karimi was asked to disclose her secret in the show's recent episode, she revealed about having a secretive love relationship with a well known director. She said that their relation became very strong in a few months and he planned to settle down with her but they decided to keep it hush-hush because she was awaiting divorce from her ex.

Mandana said that two planned to have a baby together and when she got pregnant with his child and informed him, he backed off, citing the reason that he was not emotionally and mentally ready to take care of this responsibility. His reaction consolidated her decision to discontinue her pregnancy.

Kangana Ranaut then stated, "No matter how much we talk about equality, God has been unkind. This bl**** body clock pushes us. Every time, you cannot wait years or decades to understand whether the guy is genuine. Women have motherly instincts and all of us want to be mothers. So many girls and women face the same in this world. What you faced was very brave, and common. It was your call, but I wish you'd kept your child."

Mandana Karimi was married to businessman Gaurav Gupta in 2017 and separated from him five months later. She joined the captivity-based reality show Lock Upp as a contestant last month.
