Lock Upp 2: Ashneer Grover’s wife Madhuri faces fury for ‘rich vs poor’ childbirth logic

After the revelation, it was her later statement that made viewers angry. “The third child keeps you younger. If you see all the rich people, including Shah Rukh Khan, they have a third child. This concept of ‘Hum do humare do’ doesn’t apply to everyone. Jitne ameer log bacche paida karenge toh ameeri badhegi, gareeb paida karenge to gareebi badhegi. (The more rich people have children, the more wealth will increase; the more poor people have children, the more poverty will increase),” she said.

Audience slams Ashneer Grover’s wife Madhuri Jain

Viewers were not happy with Madhuri Jain’s controversial remark. While sharing a clip of her comment on X, a user wrote, “Shame on Madhuri Ashneer Grover. Her statement is elitism at its ugliest, reducing human beings to their bank balance & implying that dignity, family &right to reproduce belong only to the rich. So, exploitation by the wealthy is never the problem only the existence of the poor is.”

Another person commented, “Nepotism is very cruel.” “Madam, why is there economic inequality in the 1st place? Coz the system is rigged in favour of the rich. FYI rich consume way more,” a third comment read. “By this logic, middle-class people shouldn’t have children. They should abort them,” a social media user wrote.

The most recent episode of Lock Upp 2 also featured Kangana Ranaut as a special guest. Conestant Shresta Iyer alco became the first contestant to exit the show.
