I’m grateful that we live in a streaming age where you can get work, which in one word you say, ‘tudum’,” he said. Khan talked about her experience of hosting “Lock Upp”, a reality show where celebrity inmates are sent to a new-age prison for a game of power and redemption, and said it was a “dream job”. Deshmukh, who served as a co-host on “Lock Upp”, said the reality show gave its participants an insight into human nature.
