Single mother-actor Nisha Rawal discusses leaving four-year-old son at home to join Kangana Ranaut’s Lock Upp

Lock Upp is probably one show that has the potential to give Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss a run for its money. Or at least, that’s what host Kangana Ranaut would like to believe. The MXPlayer and ALTBalaji reality show will see 16 contestants imprisoned for 72 days, where they will be tested, questioned and challenged for basic amenities. Joining the show is television actor Nisha Rawal, who filed an FIR against husband and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor Karan Mehra citing domestic abuse. Rawal is currently fighting a custody battle for son Kavish. But the actor insists that the controversy is not her claim to fame. “I want people to know that [my divorce] is not the defining moment of my life. I have been blessed to have endorsed some prestigious brands, done more than 500 campaigns, music videos, Bollywood, and TV shows. People who have seen me on screen don’t know the real Nisha Rawal. [This was my chance] to connect with the audience,” says the actor, who has been part of the industry for over two decades.
