“Ashneer Grover's wife sparks controversy on 'Lock Upp 2':Madhuri says, 'If rich have children, wealth grows; if poor do, poverty grows'”
A controversy has erupted over a statement made by Madhuri Jain Grover, wife of businessman Ashneer Grover, on Netflix's reality show 'Lock Upp 2'. To avoid elimination from the show, Madhuri shared a secret related to her personal life. During this, she made a controversial remark about rich and poor people having children. Madhuri's secret saved her from being eliminated from the show, but after her statement, people on social media are continuously trolling her. Ashneer Grover wanted a third child
Madhuri Jain Grover revealed a truth about her family during the show. She said that she and Ashneer Grover wanted a third child. Initially, their family was against this idea, due to which they postponed their decision. Later, when they both decided to have a third child again, it was too late. Madhuri said that a third child keeps you young. All rich people, including Shah Rukh Khan, have three children. This concept of ‘Hum Do Hamare Do’ does not apply to everyone. Controversy escalated due to comments on rich and poor children
Revealing her secret, Madhuri further said that the more rich people have children, the more wealth will increase, and if poor people have children, poverty will increase. People's anger erupted on social media over Madhuri's statement. Users say that this thinking is completely full of discrimination. One user wrote that this statement shows the level of arrogance of the rich. In this, human dignity has been weighed against their bank balance, as if only rich people have the right to have children. Questions also raised on hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh
Along with criticising Madhuri Jain Grover on social media, users are also targeting the show's hosts. This season is being hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh. One user commented that even after Madhuri made such a big statement, the show's hosts could not say anything and remained completely silent. People say that even if the hosts disagreed with this, they should have interrupted such comments. Also read these controversies related to Netflix shows- Ram Kapoor Justified Cheating - Ram Kapoor recently said on the show that if there is true love between a husband and wife, the relationship does not end even after cheating. He made this statement in response to a question from co-contestant Shreya Kalra, who asked, 'If your partner cheats, will you end the relationship?' To this, Ram said, 'You find the connection again. If you love, the relationship doesn't end. Marriage is a difficult journey. We have to work on marriage every day. In a 20-25 year marriage, you have to see ups and downs. In bad times, if one person makes a mistake, if you cannot live without them and cannot live without your children, then things improve with time. Sometimes it happens by mistake.' Akanksha Chamola confessed to being bisexual- This show is being streamed on Netflix from June 27. From the beginning, the show has been less about concept and more in the news for controversies. At the show's premiere, Akanksha Chamola announced her divorce from Gaurav Khanna, which many users called fake. Now, recently, Akanksha has admitted to being bisexual on the show. She has said that before marriage, she had relationships with girls and is attracted to girls. Netflix's Strategy in Question Usually, in such reality shows, there are fights over food and tasks, but apart from that, Netflix's new reality show is constantly highlighting controversies and fights. There is also no censorship on language, abuses, and objectionable words in the show. In such a situation, the question arises as to why Netflix, which streams big films and series worldwide, needs controversies to survive and garner views in India.
