Dheeraj Dhoopar hits back at Kangana Ranaut's 'main character energy' jibe

Dheeraj Dhoopar fires back at Kangana’s remark

Lock Upp 2 contestant Dheeraj Dhoopar has finally responded to host Kangana Ranaut’s comment that he lacks main character energy. The actor, known for his television roles, took a dig at the remark during a recent interaction.

“Agar Shah Rukh Khan hotey, toh aap kuch aur bolte,” Dhoopar said, implying that Kangana would have treated a star of SRK’s stature differently. His retort has sparked fresh debate among fans of the reality show.

Kangana had earlier told Dhoopar that he didn’t possess the “main character energy” required to win the game. The comment was made during a task evaluation on the show.

Defending his game plan

Dhoopar also addressed his decision to evict fellow contestant Yogesh Rawat. He claimed it was a calculated move within the game’s strategy.

“I evicted Yogesh because that was part of my game plan. Why didn’t Akanksha Choudhury fight with me over it?” he questioned, turning the spotlight on other players. The actor insisted his actions were consistent with the competitive nature of Lock Upp.

His remarks come days after his elimination from the show. Dhoopar’s exit was followed by speculation about his relationships inside the house.

Addressing Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopda rumours

In a separate development, Dhoopar was asked about the rumoured relationship between Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopda. The actor, who was a close friend to both, dodged direct confirmation.

“Mera connection toh aap logon ka bana diya,” he joked, neither denying nor confirming the link. The comment has added fuel to ongoing gossip about the two television stars.

Lock Upp 2, hosted by Kangana Ranaut, has been known for its intense confrontations and dramatic twists. The show pits celebrities against each other in a jail-like setting.

What’s next for Dheeraj Dhoopar?

With his Lock Upp stint over, Dhoopar is expected to return to television projects. He has not announced any new show yet, but industry insiders suggest he is in talks for a lead role in an upcoming daily soap.

Fans are eager to see whether his popularity from the reality show translates into bigger opportunities. The actor’s straight-talking style has won him both admirers and critics.

As the season progresses, the focus now shifts to the remaining contestants vying for the Lock Upp 2 trophy. It remains to be seen if Kangana’s “main character” critique will influence the final outcome.
