Tehseen Poonawalla, entrepreneur and political analyst, shared a massive secret on the sets of ALT Balaji’s Lock Upp. He shared that a very well-renowned industrialist wanted him to sleep with his wife, for which the guy made full arrangements for him during the weekends.

Tehseen Poonawalla’s confession really stirred the pot and went viral like crazy on social media platforms and among Lock Upp fans.
4. Shivam Sharma, ex-Splitsvillan, revealed that he had a sexual relationship with his mother’s divorcee friend who lived near his house.The story dates back by 8-9 years, when he was in college.

To the surprise of the audiences and his co-contestants, Munawar confessed that he is married and even has a kid. Since the last one-and-half-years, he has been staying away from his wife. They are on the verge of separation and the matter is in court. Kangana applauded him for sharing such a profound secret on national television. Though this secret has left Anjali Arora, who is very fond of Munawar, in a state of shock.
7. Mandana Karimi, the ex Bigg-Boss contestant, revealed that she had to abort her baby that she conceived while she was dating a very renowned Bollywood director. She shared that after her separation from her husband Gaurav Gupta, she couldn’t trust men. But then she got into a secret relationship with an ace director who stands up for ‘feminism’. They started living together during the lockdown, and the guy said that he loved her. They even had a ‘planned pregnancy’, but shockingly, the director backed off, saying he isn’t emotionally up to becoming a father again. Mandana Karimi ultimately had to abort the unborn baby.
