Yogesh Rawat, who is currently seen on the reality show Lock Upp, is sharing the screen once again with Akanksha Choudhary, his former connection from Splitsvilla 16. During Splitsvilla, Yogesh ended his connection with Akanksha after his former girlfriend, Ruru Thakur, whom he refers to as a "situationship", entered the show. Following the incident, he was widely labelled a "cheater" by viewers.

In an earlier episode of Lock Upp, Kangana Ranaut grilled Yogesh over the controversy, saying she dislikes and is disgusted by men who break women's hearts. Her remarks left Yogesh visibly emotional, and he broke down in tears.

In the latest episode, during a task, Yogesh strongly reacted to Kangana's comments and opened up about the emotional impact of being branded a "cheater" after Splitsvilla 16. Admitting that leaving Akanksha was a mistake, he told host Riteish Deshmukh that the label had made the past six months traumatic. He also spoke about how the backlash deeply affected his parents, revealing that the judgement extended far beyond social media and took a significant emotional toll on his family.

Recalling the aftermath of his relationship with Akanksha Choudhary, Yogesh said, "My mother was ashamed to put my story on her social media handles after I ditched Akanksha Choudhary to be with Ruru in Splitsvilla 16."
