'Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar failed'! Kangana Ranaut calls herself superstar host of Lock Upp
India Today
Taking to her Instagram story, Kangana Ranaut said that while Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh and more failed, only Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Kangana have emerged as successful TV hosts.
If Ekta Kapoor's captive reality show Lock Upp is a success, Kangana Ranaut gets the credit. Taking to her Instagram story, Kangana Ranaut declared that she, along with the likes of Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, are the only actors who've successfully turned into television hosts. While many, like Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh tried and failed, only shows like Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati and the Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss, apart from her Lock Upp, are successful.
Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram story to share a note about the success of Lock Upp. She 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 (sic)."
Take a look at her post:
Kangana further added that she only decided to talk about it because the "jealous movie mafia" is trying everything in their power to discredit her. "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," she wrote.
Ekta Kapoor-produced Lock Upp streams on Alt Balaji and MX Player every day. Kangana Ranaut, much like Salman Khan's Bigg Boss Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, appears on the weekends.
