The wait for the Lock Upp Season 2 winner is finally over. The reality show, hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, will crown its champion today. For weeks, fans have been guessing who will take home the trophy. The biggest question on everyone’s mind is whether Shreya Kalra has actually won the show. Social media has been flooded with conflicting reports, and now producer Ektaa Kapoor has broken her silence on the matter.
Ektaa Kapoor’s Response to Winner Questions
Ektaa Kapoor recently attended an awards event in Mumbai. When she walked the red carpet, the paparazzi surrounded her with questions about the Lock Upp 2 winner. One photographer directly asked her, “Ektaa ji, sunane mein aaya hai Shreya winner hai?” which means “Ektaa ji, we heard Shreya is the winner?”.
The producer gave a sharp reply that caught everyone’s attention. She said, “Kyun agar Shivangi hogi toh problem hai kya?” which translates to “Why is it a problem if Shivangi wins?”. This response made the paparazzi laugh. When another photographer asked who she was making the winner, Ektaa quickly clarified, “Main kisi ko nahi jeeta rahi bhai. Mere haath mein hai hi nahi,” meaning “I am not making anyone win. It is not in my hands at all”.
Her comments have sparked a lot of debate among fans. Many believe she was hinting at something, while others think she was just avoiding the question. Some viewers did not like her response and expressed their disappointment online.
Social Media Divided Over Winner
The confusion about the winner started when reports claimed the finale episode was shot earlier. Several social media accounts began posting about who they thought had won. However, Netflix has not confirmed any name yet.
A section of X users strongly believes Shreya Kalra has lifted the trophy. Her supporters have praised her gameplay throughout the season. One user wrote, “WINNER SHREYA KALRA. From controversies to dominating the game, Shreya’s journey has been nothing short of explosive”. Another fan posted, “Shreya Kalra truly deserves the trophy”.
On the other hand, many fans are backing Shivangi Joshi as the winner. Some claimed she finished ahead of Shreya. One user tweeted, “Shivangi Joshi winner of Netflix’s LockUpp Season 2. Shreya came 2nd where she deserves the trophy but this is Ekta Kapoor show so winner is from ITV”. Another fan wrote, “For me Harshad and Shivangi are joint winners of Lockupp”.
Adding to the confusion, Yogesh Rawat’s name also started trending. Several posts on X claimed he had won the show. With three different names floating around, viewers are left guessing until the official announcement.
The Final Five Contestants
After many weeks of competition, the show has narrowed down to five finalists. The top five are Shreya Kalra, Shivangi Joshi, Yogesh Rawat, Ram Kapoor and Shilpa Shinde.
Varun Yadav, who was popularly known as Laila, was the last contestant to be eliminated before the finale. Shivangi Joshi secured her spot in the finale after Harshad Chopda made a huge sacrifice. He gave up his own place to save Shivangi from elimination. Shreya Kalra earned her position through votes from her fellow contestants.
The Big Twist That Changed Everything
The latest episode of Lock Upp 2 delivered one of the biggest twists of the season. After a task, Harshad Chopda became the first finalist. But things took a dramatic turn when Shreya Kalra was given the power to terminate one contestant.
She chose Shivangi Joshi for elimination. This is when Riteish Deshmukh, one of the hosts, gave Harshad a difficult choice. He could either accept Shivangi’s elimination or eliminate himself and save her. Harshad chose to sacrifice his own place in the finale, allowing Shivangi to continue in the game. This moment became one of the most talked-about events of the season.
What to Expect from the Grand Finale
The grand finale of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa will stream today, August 5, at 8 pm IST on Netflix. The winner will receive the Lock Upp Season 2 trophy along with a ₹1 crore cash prize.
The finale will feature a series of tasks and challenges for the finalists. A jury made up of celebrities and journalists will also question the contestants. The jury includes Prince Narula, Shiv Thakare, Awez Darbar and others. Former contestants like Pamala Serena, Varun Yadav and Akanksha Chamola will return for special performances. Each finalist will also perform on stage before the winner is announced.
Fan Reactions and Online Buzz
Fans have been very active on social media, sharing their opinions about who should win. One user commented, “I swear, if Shreya has won, her victory would feel like our victory”. Another person wrote, “We all know, all scripted. Anabella ko hi jeetegi ye”. Some fans believe Shreya and Shilpa deserve to be in the top two.
The online debate has been intense, with supporters of different contestants arguing about who played the best game. Shreya Kalra has been a popular figure throughout the season. Her arguments with Ram Kapoor, Akanksha Choudhary and Akanksha Chamola have been major talking points. Her friendship with Shilpa Shinde also received a lot of attention.
Shivangi Joshi, on the other hand, had a different journey. She faced criticism early on for getting emotional over small things. But she gained support later when she stood up for herself during disagreements.
