When the poor people give birth, the poor will grow.”She added: “Where there is a need to give birth, we are giving birth there? In this hope, out of the 5-6 children, one of them should be born and have a chance. This is happening.”“People are not getting married. So, Everyone has the right to have children. I am not going to take that right away from them. I am encouraging everyone to have more children,” concluded Madhuri.Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa currently has popular names such as Akanksha Chaudhary, Yogesh Rawat, Sunita Ahuja, Ram Kapoor, Shreya Kalra, Shivangi Joshi, Harshad Chopra, Sufi Motiwala, Dheeraj Dhoopar, and Varun Yadav aka Laila.Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh host the show.
