Lock Upp's Payal Rohatgi gets trolled, fiance Sangram defends her, calls her intelligent

Lock Upp's contestant Payal Rohatgi has now found support in her fiancé, Sangram Singh. After she was trolled on Twitter, Sangram heaped praises on her and called her intelligent.

In Ekta Kapoor's Lock Upp, if there's one contestant who has made the most noise, it's Payal Rohatgi. The actress is never afraid to speak her mind. She is always in the news for some or the other reason. In an earlier episode of the captive-based reality show, Payal was trolled after she failed to name the President of India. Her fiancé, Sangram Singh has now spoken up in her support.

Payal Rohatgi was recently trolled on social media for failing to name the President of India on Lock Upp. The actress was mostly trolled as she is quite vocal about her political views. Sangram Singh has now come out in her support. In a statement, he said, "Payal is an intelligent woman. She knows a lot about politics, history and has an amazing general knowledge as far as I know her. But when you are suddenly posed a question, at times your mind goes blank. It happens to all of us. Payal does not believe in sweet talk or chaaplusi. She has a mind of her own. The rest of the contestants seem to unite in fear of elimination. The idea is to put pressure on Payal to speak quickly so that the team loses. But she knew the answer and replied with the next question. Payal is very intelligent and knowledgeable and to judge her by a question is wrong and uncalled for!"

Ekta Kapoor's Lock Upp promises exciting tasks, dramatic fights, and above all, an interesting mix of 13 controversial contestants who are willing to do just about anything to survive. Ekta Kapoor launched the show in Mumbai on February 3. The show will live stream 24x7.
