Anjali Arora's relatives would tell her parents ‘naach ke naak kata rahi hai’; they now want selfies with her

Anjali Arora recalls how relatives would taunt her parents by saying she was bringing down the family's reputation by dancing in social media videos. But now the same relatives want selfies with her.

Anjali Arora first rose to fame as a social media personality, when her TikTok and Instagram videos became popular. That was before she appeared on Kangana Ranaut's reality show Lock Upp. In a new interview, she has revealed that her relatives would taunt her parents and say that she was bringing down the family's reputation by dancing in such videos.

On the show, Anjali remained one of the strongest contenders as she formed strong bonds with some of her co-contestants. However, she often locked horns with her co-contestant Payal Rohatgi, who mocked her for being popular as a social media personality.

Speaking with Times of India, Anjali said that the reality show was a dream come true for her and she never imagined she'd get the kind of popularity that she got, after the show. “It was a tough journey for me from TikTok to Lock Upp. When I used to make videos on TikTok, a few relatives would tell my parents, ‘yeh videos mein dance kar ke naak kata rahi hai (she is demeaning us by dancing in the videos)’, but my parents were always supportive. They ignored it all. Now those relatives want selfies with me. My parents are very proud, and I feel blessed,” she told the daily.
