As the video went viral on social media, several fans called the ‘kidnapping’ a ‘publicity stunt’. It didn’t take long for netizens to speculate that the video was, in fact, a way for Ekta to promote her upcoming reality show Lock Upp, which will be hosted by Kangana Ranaut. While it is not known what happened to Ekta for sure, fans are convinced that the kidnapping was fake. Meanwhile, there has been no word from Ekta on the same.

For the uninitiated, Lock Upp is all set to premiere on Alt Balaji and MX Player on February 27, 2022. To date, only one contestant has been revealed. TV actor Nisha Rawal is the first contestant of the show who will be locked up in the prison. The show will have 16 celebrity contestants locked up in two prisons for 72 days.
