Popular television actor Dheeraj Dhooper found himself embroiled in an unexpected chit scandal in a recent episode of Riteish Deshmukh-hosted Netflix reality series Lock Upp 2. Amid the rising social media backlash for letting the actor go with a simple warning, Dhooper’s longtime wife, actress Vinny Arora, broke her silence about the controversy. According to her, the television star was so unwell that he almost backed out of the reality show.
Vinny Arora says Dheeraj almost walked away from Lock Upp 2 due to health issues
Just days after Riteish Deshmukh publicly warned Dheeraj over alleged attempts by his family to send handwritten notes into the jail, Vinny admitted she made an “emotional mistake” but insisted her actions stemmed from concern for her husband’s health. In a recent video shared on social media, Vinny recalled how Dheeraj struggled physically before filming began and nearly withdrew from the show. She shared:
“When Dheeraj was about to leave for the Lock Upp shoot, he was so unwell that he almost backed out. But he obviously did not want to let the makers down and wanted to stay true to his commitment. So somehow he convinced himself, I convinced him, and we left for the shoot.”
