Speaking to Filmibeat, Sumbul said, “I have just come out after being locked in a house for 4 months, why would I want to do that again that’s the first thing but there has been no talk like that yet, but my thing is I want to look at open skies for a little while now.”
In latest interview with Telly Chakkar, Nimrit too made it clear that she is not participating in Lock Upp 2. When asked about the rumours of her being approached, she said, “I don’t know yaar, you guys are the ones who are telling me that I have been approached and it’s you yourselves who are telling me that I have said no. I have no idea or news about it, very honestly.”
