Actor Riteish Deshmukh was visibly irked during the launch of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa when he was asked if he would invite Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt to the reality show.

Clearly unimpressed by the remark, Riteish didn't let it slide and fired back with a sharp response.

On Monday, Riteish Deshmukh along with Farah Khan, Ekta Kapoor, Monika Shergill, Vice President Content, Netflix India, attended the launch of the show Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa in Mumbai.

At the event, Riteish was asked if he would like to have Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt as contestants on the reality show. The question was a reference to the actors' past legal troubles, with the interviewer suggesting they had enough experience of being in a "lock up".

Riteish responded sharply, "Sabse pehle mujhe nahin lagta hai ki aapke sawal ka jawab deke main usko koi dignity dena chahunga (First of all, I don't think I'd like to dignify your question by answering it)."

He clarified that he has no involvement in selecting the contestants for the reality show and his responsibility as a host is to interact with the participants and guide the proceedings.
