Host Riteish Deshmukh lost his temper at the media gathering for Netflix's Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2 when a reporter asked him if he would be inviting close friends Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt as participants. The journalist discussed their previous legal troubles and “experience with lockups" and how that would make them perfect for the reality show.

A visibly angry Riteish replied with a sharp reaction, “First of all, I don't think I'd like to give your question any dignity by answering that one. It's your question, and I don't want to answer.” The actor took no time out to think about the flippant comment and upheld the dignity of the friends.

The clip has gone massively viral on social media, with fans praising Riteish for his composed yet firm response. The incident overshadowed other announcements that were made at the event before the show's premiere June 27. Many admired him for his ability to put an end to the controversial question without making it worse.
