Riteish told Dheeraj, “As you know, on this show, meeting anyone from outside is not allowed without permission. On humanitarian grounds, we allowed you to meet with your son. Let me tell you, during that time, there were attempts to smuggle chits into the jail. While you are not aware of this, we seized those evidence.”Also Read: ‘I get physically uncomfortable’: Dheeraj Dhoopar labels Akanksha Chamola a ‘red flag’Even the strongest hearts melt for one tiny voice saying, “Papa.” 凉Watching Dheeraj hear Zayn’s voice was the most heartfelt moment of the episode. ❤️– Team DD#DheerajDhoopar #LockUpp pic.twitter.com/7UkAypwL7Q— Dheeraj Dhoopar (@DheerajDhoopar) July 20, 2026Don’t know what’s happening.

At that time, we decided to overlook it, but then, disguised as belongings, your family tried to send those chits again. Those chits told you how to win this game and how to outplay other contestants. Our security team and I intercepted this once again. Anything that comes inside the Lock Upp, we go through everything so that no one gets an unfair advantage. Since this has happened twice, I just wanted to warn you again that this will be the last time.”Dheeraj Dhoopar reacts to his family’s actionsWhile Dheeraj Dhoopar apologised and assured this wouldn’t be repeated, he also sent a message to his family. Dheeraj said, “Guys, whoever is doing this, don’t do it again, please. I am playing my own game, and I don’t need any external help. I don’t need your support in this way. Do not do this again.” Riteish Deshmukh also added, “I am giving you this warning privately. Next time, we will have to take stricter action.” Dheeraj replied, “I don’t support this.”Also Read | ‘Scars are still there’: Harshad Chopda opens up about painful past on Lock Upp 2A message from Dheeraj #DheerajDhoopar #Lockupp2 pic.twitter.com/HyJRvxBIbH— BeingDheerajDhoopar (@beingdhoopian_) July 20, 2026This is not the first time that a family member has tried to help a contestant on a captive reality show. In 2022, during Bigg Boss 16, actress Sumbul Touqeer’s father had also tried to do something similar. He had requested the Bigg Boss team to connect his daughter over a call since he wasn’t keeping very well. During that conversation, he gave Sumbul outside information and tried to guide her in the game. The production team immediately cut the call, and later Bigg Boss also pulled up Sumbul for the same.Nawaz Javed Kochra is a seasoned entertainment journalist at The Indian Express Online, bringing nearly a decade of expertise to the forefront of cultural reporting.
