Kangana Ranaut is inarguably the most controversial actor today, thanks to her periodic opinions.

So it's only natural that the show she is hosting comes with its own controversies.

The reality show Lock Upp requires its celebrity contestants to confess a deep dark secret in order to go ahead in the game and save themselves from being evicted every week.

And the contestants, it seems, don't hold back.

Namrata Thakker looks at 10 SHOCKING revelations made on the show so far.

Former Bigg Boss contestant Mandana Karimi, who made her acting debut with Bhaag Johnny, confessed being in a secret relationship with a well-known director and then going through an abortion.

Though the pregnancy was planned, Mandana's director-boyfriend backed off at the last moment, saying he wasn't emotionally ready to be a father again.

The 33 year old said she got into the relationship while she was going through an ugly divorce with her then husband Gaurav Gupta.
