Internet slams Ram Kapoor for ‘behaving entitled’, halting Lock Upp task: ‘Wouldn’t dare to do this with Salman Khan'

In a recent episode of Lock Upp, Ram Kapoor faced criticism after disrupting a task when he was not given water during the challenge.

The new season of Lock Upp has kicked off with old rivalries, fresh tensions and plenty of drama. From day one, the contestants have kept viewers hooked with heated arguments, unexpected clashes and intense moments inside the house. Amid all the chaos, television actor Ram Kapoor has once again come under fire from viewers for allegedly behaving rudely towards host Riteish Deshmukh and attempting to disrupt a task after his demands were not met.

Ram Kapoor faces criticism for his behaviour with Riteish Deshmukh

Ram Kapoor's behaviour with Riteish Deshmukh on Lock Upp receives criticism.

The first task of Lock Upp season 2 saw the two safe contestants, Harshad Chopra and Akanksha Chamola, armed with paintball guns, targeting the unsafe contestants. Meanwhile, the unsafe inmates had to make their way to the buzzer while dodging Harshad and Akanksha's shots in order to secure immunity from this week's eliminations. After Ram completed his turn but failed to reach safety, he was seen asking jailer Riteish Deshmukh for water.

When Riteish warned him that he could get hit by a paintball, Ram replied, "lagane do, aajao maaro." Riteish then explained to him that it was the contestants' responsibility to carry their own water bottles, as they had already been provided. Ram eventually accepted the explanation and allowed the task to resume.

The clip from the episode quickly surfaced online, with many viewers calling Ram out for what they described as entitled behaviour. One comment read, "This is just too much Ram Kapoor." Another wrote, "Why is he overacting so much?" A third comment read, "he wouldn't dare to do all this infront of Salman Khan." Another user wrote, "This was so embarrassing, pure entitled behaviour." One internet user also commented, "Maybe he forgot he is in Lock Upp, why would he get any special treatment?"

This is not the first time Ram has faced criticism on the show. Earlier, he came under fire after defending his past remarks, in which he had compared his hectic promotional schedule to feeling gang-raped, calling them his "sense of humour". Fellow contestant Shreya Kalra criticised him for using gang rape as a joke, but the actor brushed aside her comments, saying he was still learning from his mistakes and would continue to do so. The internet criticised Ram for not taking accountability, while many backed Shreya for calling him out.
