Madhuri Grover rants about Farah Khan on Lock Upp season 2

In the latest episode of Lock Upp Season 2, Madhuri expressed her disappointment over Farah's comments and said, "It's easy to bring everyone's morale down, but it's equally important to lift their spirits. There are better ways to encourage someone by telling them they're doing well and motivating them to improve further instead of constantly criticising them. Think about Riyaz. He was repeatedly told that he wasn't visible in the show. You mentally harassed him. He didn't have 27 million followers for no reason. What was he supposed to do? Start making reels inside the house?"

She further said, "Am I supposed to start BharatPe here? Or should I coach you on how to do business after we get out? You brought me here because of who I am. I ask questions, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'll go back to Delhi and tell everyone that this is what happens among celebrities. 'Madhuri, you've become Shreya's shadow.' I don't need anyone's approval—we have a genuine connection. I'm Ashneer's manager too, and I'm proud of it. So, what are you going to do about it? I want people to understand that becoming someone's manager doesn't make you any less of a person. I'm not Shreya's manager; I'm her friend, and I'm proud of that. When our morale was low, we lifted each other up, something you people failed to do."

Madhuri's husband, entrepreneur Ashneer Grover, later shared a clip of her rant on Instagram. Tagging Farah Khan, he wrote, "Mata aagyi isko toh aapki instigation se" (She only got worked up because you instigated her) Reacting to Ashneer's post, Farah replied, "I love her. She's a legend."

Many viewers found Madhuri's rant entertaining, with several praising her candidness on social media. Even her fellow contestants were seen laughing throughout her outburst.
