But Munawar isn’t leaving empty-handed. Just before he exits, the video delivers one final surprise- the reveal of two new inmates in Netflix’s Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa. Standing behind the bars are reality stars Yogesh Rawat and Akanksha Chaudhary, whose recent reality show journey had audiences talking and now brings them face-to-face once again inside the Lock Upp.

Speaking about joining the show, Yogesh Rawat said, “The raw and real Yogesh that people connected with is exactly what they’re going to see inside Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa.” Akanksha Chaudhary added, “I feel there are many things my fans still want answers to, and Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa will give me the space to finally share my side. And of course, it was always a dream to collaborate with Netflix.”

The show is all set to drop on Netflix on June 27. The show will have fourteen inmates, two jailers, and one lock-up for 6 weeks. As per the rules, inmates must complete tasks to earn in-game currency required for even the basic necessities such as food, supplies, and privileges.

Actor Riteish Deshmukh and filmmaker Farah Khan will take charge as the Jailers of the show co-produced by Balaji Telefilms Ltd and Colosceum. Besides Yogesh and Akanksha, the show will also feature popular television actors Ram Kapoor, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Shivangi Joshi, and fiery Desi Bling breakout star Pamala Serena.
