Internet questions Ram Kapoor's conduct after he blocks Lock Upp 2 task over water
Ram Kapoor has landed in fresh controversy after the latest episode of Lock Upp 2. Here's what happened during the task that sparked a wave of criticism online.
Actor Ram Kapoor has found himself at the centre of another online controversy after the latest episode of Lock Upp 2, with viewers criticising his conduct during a house task. Clips from the episode quickly surfaced on social media, where several users described his behaviour as "embarrassing" and "entitled", making the incident one of the most talked-about moments from the reality show this week.
The criticism comes just days after Ram was already under scrutiny for defending his past remarks, which he later described as his "sense of humour". His latest confrontation inside the Lock Upp 2 house has once again sparked debate among viewers, with many questioning his actions during the task.
What happened during the task?
The controversy began when Ram complained that contestants had repeatedly asked for drinking water but had not received any. Expressing his frustration, he said, "I have been asking for water for a long time. You guys are making us do this, not giving water. It's not right. Send water."

When the water did not arrive and the task was nearing its conclusion, Ram walked into the middle of the task area and refused to let the game continue.
Host Riteish Deshmukh warned the actor that he could be hit by a paintball if he remained standing there. Ram responded, "Let it hit me, come and hit me." Riteish then clarified that every contestant had already been given a personal water bottle and that it was their responsibility to carry it during tasks. Following the explanation, Ram stepped aside and the task resumed.
How did social media react?
Soon after the episode aired, clips of the exchange spread across social media, prompting a flood of reactions. One user wrote, "This is just too much Ram Kapoor," while another commented, "Why is he overacting so much?"
Other viewers questioned his conduct, with one saying, "He wouldn't dare to do all this in front of Salman Khan." Another described his actions as "pure entitled behaviour", while another remarked, "Maybe he forgot he is in Lock Upp, why would he get any special treatment?"
Why is this the second controversy involving Ram Kapoor?
This marks the second time since entering Lock Upp 2 that Ram has faced criticism. Earlier in the season, he drew backlash after defending his past remarks comparing his hectic promotional schedule to feeling gang-raped, calling them part of his "sense of humour". Contestant Shreya Kalra objected to the comments and criticised him for joking about sexual violence. Ram later said he was learning from his mistakes, but his response also received criticism online.
Hosted by Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan, Lock Upp 2 features 15 contestants, including Dheeraj Dhoopar, Akanksha Chamola, Shivangi Joshi, Harshad Chopra, Shreya Kalra, Yogesh Rawat, Pamela Serena and Akanksha Choudhary. The Netflix reality series streams from Saturday to Wednesday at 8 pm, with the latest episode adding another flashpoint to an already drama-filled season.
