Film producer and TV czarina Ektaa Kapoor on Tuesday, February 3, announced the second season of her reality show Lock Upp at the Netflix India slate event in Mumbai, following the success of its first season, which was hosted by actor and politician Kangana Ranaut.

Several videos of the incident have since gone viral on social media. The awkward moment unfolded after Aparshakti Khurana and Jamie Lever, daughter of veteran actor Johnny Lever, welcomed Ektaa on stage for the announcement. While greeting the hosts, Ektaa warmly acknowledged Jamie, but when it came to Aparshakti, she paused after saying 'Hi' as she struggled to remember his name, and quickly shifted her attention to the audience instead.
