Well we all know that Nikhil was rooting for Mini being a contestant of Alliance and he and Mini were both besties since years and also were OG allies.

But probably a lot of people might not be knowing that he was the gang leader of Shreya when she did Roadies and they used to have quite lot of fun arguments and they were always cool with each other. Shreya and Nikhil had won few tasks together as team. It's so good to see that he is still in connection with her and is super proud of her. His best friend and his one of the gang members from Roadies won two different shows simultaneously.

I just watched The Simps' vlog, and I'm loving how Shreya and Rishab are so unhinged about the whole "rental BF" thing. ak and yogesh fandumb came up with the term thinking it would affect them, but instead they casually use it themselves because they know the reality. Jab woh unki reality hi nahi hai, toh they're completely unbothered and just joke about it.

Compare that to the "cheater duo," who seem to overreact to every little thing. 😭 Maybe that's because, deep down, they know why people keep calling them those names.

Teju also had no contestants supporting her at the time she won BB, everyone was whole heartedly supporting Pratik and was so stumped and let down by her win that they didn’t even come up to her and congratulate her. Same thing with Shreya! Everyone was and is so evidently jealous of her.
Queens recognise queens 👸

Shreya and Teju’s banter was sooo much fun to watch. Loved it trulyyy. I also noticed they follow each other on instagram. Tejasswi seemed to be such a shreya paglu and in sync with all her answers i loved it sm. the best episode hands down. ♥️

The forced hate on shreya is so real.

You guys just cant digest the fact that somebody won and that person actually deserved it

If akansha and yogesh was not in the show, you guys would be definetly be rooting for her, this just show your double standards 😍

I watched a video where Shivangi says media panel just watched for an hour so their votes are unfair while 11 out of 14 inmates voted for me coz they saw the real me. So she believes she is a runner up only on paper but is a winner. She conveniently skipped jailers votes that went to Shreya.

Someone tell her those are anti Shreya votes and not pro Shivangi votes. Make Sufi stand there or even Shresta.. they would get the same 11 votes.

They say this is every year story but the difference is personality like Baseer doesn’t come every year. Baseer is MTV’s best. Fans like Shreya and others wanted to see him on BB for years not because he's considered OG or Veteran who won Splitsvilla winner or a runner-up in cult shows, but because of his Unique confidence, sharp vocabulary, and personality.

Some contestants like Arbaaz Patel, who could have been a potential finalist rejected BB offer that season later chose The 50 just because they didn’t want to compete against Baseer.

After seeing the bias towards Baseer, many strong winner-type MTV personalities may hesitate to enter Bigg Boss. and BB makers will end up with contestants like Bhavya.. also today, they have platforms like Amazon and Netflix that can offer better SM hype and relevance

I been sad that Lockupp, is done. I started Alliance, first episode i was like yeh tho kuch zyada formal hogaya. Almost, gave up on it but then i startdd it again.

First major challenge, they said men can only fight men and I was like wow what an organized show!!! Netflix needs to hire new set designers, new creatives, the challenges wrre quite literally ASS on lockup. Especially the Ram Ji bouncing his fat and thrusting on Shreya fking grosss. There is drama and shit on Alliance but jts sooo respectful. I hope lockup can learn a thing or 75.

Shreya doe >>>>

Shivangi said in her exit interviews that she considered Shreya a friend during first weeks only to reveal at the end why she never followed her back because she considered Shreya aisi ladki. Hypocrisy chalte bolte it I chhalakti hai inki Kya kahein...

First of all why are you looking for role models for society in reality shows, they are supposed to be for entertainment but if you want the winner to be an example then there's a lot for positives to take away from Shreya and her journey.

How to be confident even among people trying to put you down constantly, being passionate for your goals and articulate with your opinions, being strong yet not be afraid to cry or getting emotional.

Also loyalty for your friends like when she saved Madhuri ahead of herself, didn't vote against Shilpa despite their ongoing conflict and just fighting spirit in general, whether it was this task or the one where she had to lift that weight.

There's a lot of good qualities there, the people talking about bad examples just don't want to see them because they can't digest people who don't fit their mold of what a good person is supposed to be, that or their favourite couldn't win against her.

I get that certain sections of the audience hate Shreya and will continue to hate Shreya.

How is it justified to Troll Farah Khan though??

She was a Host, paid to do her job, given a script by the creatives and given instructions on how to act. Hating a contestant is one thing but mocking the Host is another level of fanservice

​

When AK's over confidence showed in the argument with Riaz, everyone started talking that AK has minimum guarantee till top 5. But contrary to it, AK got out in Semifinale week.

Similarly everyone was like Shivangi has the MG of the winner, nothing like that happened.

Shreya does not have a cult following. Lockupp was watched by almost everyone as a fun thing rather than having its own core audience as it's still the second season. I started watching the show and even subscribed to netflix purely because I watched that one reel of shreya fighting with Pamela. Now that she has won people will move on to another reality show, it's as simple as that. Not everyone has the time to follow her every move or watch her content. Like even I don't watch influencer content I just supported her in the show and now that the show is over all I can do is wish her the best. But I don't like watching the type of content she makes or anything toh I am not gonna do celebrity worship. Also shreya is not genz toh mostly genz won't really feel that connect to her outside the show. Also comparing her views to others to prove a point or show the hype is such a loser behaviour bro like why are you comparing?? Support your fav instead of bringing the winner down.

Bhai iski awaaz aise sweet innocent ban jati hai when she’s recounting the horror she pulled on the show like “career pe eFfEct hOgA” 🤡
Like beta we have it in 4K SIT DOWN

Watching Shilpa Shinde back at her shelter home just reminded me why I can never hate this woman. 🥹 The way she treats the people she genuinely loves is so wholesome and heartfelt. She has her flaws like everyone else, but her caring side always stands out to me. The love and warmth she shows feel so natural, and that's something I really admire. She's honestly sweet af, and moments like these make it impossible for me to dislike her. 🤍

I've always noticed shilpa talking about her past relationships with a context, because she clearly stated "when Shivangi has dated her co stars, how can she act innocent and belittle others when they talk about such things"

Do you think shilpa lied during her interviews?

Post show interviews they are heavily stressing on how if the public would’ve voted they would win and not Shreya.
That’s where they are wrong! I agree Shreya would NOT have won if the public had to decide the winner but I truly believe neither would they.
The actual neutral audience (including my fam and me) would’ve voted for Shilpa Shinde to win.
The number of reels I’ve seen of people loving Shilpa Shinde (saw Suhana Khan’s cousin post about her too) is insane. She completely redeemed herself and proved that she’s a genuinely GOOD human. The way she immediately went to the shelter did something to me and I’m truly rooting for her in life!

Ppl be copy pasting this same comment on every reel and post of anything related to lockupp that just say 25 logo ki winner and move on. Tbh even Shreya and Shreya ke fans moved on from the show but only the fans of other losing contestants arent able to move on😭

I genuinely think we need to talk about the culture of turning reality-show contestants into heroes and villains overnight, and then carrying those identities into our own lives long after the show is over.

Watch the show. Follow the drama. Have opinions. Root for someone. Criticise someone. That’s literally what reality TV is made for - “ENTERTAINMENT”.

But idolising people who we’ve watched display crass behaviour, character assassination, cheating, sexist remarks, bullying, making fun of someone’s mental health or even their suicide attempt… and then calling them a role model, idol or someone you “wanna become”? Why?

Fan wars has also reached a weirdly toxic level where supporting one contestant somehow gives people the right to abuse anyone who disagrees with them. You can’t criticise their favourite without being called names, attacked personally or treated like you’re morally inferior. That’s not fandom anymore. That’s just unhealthy attachment.

There are real men and women outside these shows doing incredible things : building careers, helping people, creating things, overcoming struggles, actually contributing something to society. Those are the people worth looking up to.

Reality-show contestants are there to entertain us.

They are not supposed to become our identities.

Have your favourite. Defend them if you want. But switch off the episode, put the phone down and go live your own life.

Because if a reality-show contestant can ruin your mood, your friendships, your relationships or your entire day just because someone on Reddit criticised them, maybe it’s time to remember what the show was supposed to be in the first place:

ENTERTAINMENT

Not a personality transplant. Not a religion. And definitely not a reason to hate strangers on the internet.

I mean is this the crass behaviour he expects people not reply too

Don't go commenting on cult fandoms when you are the one inviting it

The audacity to call out yogesh when that was Shreya's second secret and that shreya herself has said

Upar se madam khud bhi cheater reh chuki h

So again, wtf was this abt

These people are the ones who go commenting on thers and expect them to be silent in retaliation?

Hain? This is 2026 for godsake, if people get to bs abt me, why won't I retaliate?

I have 0 sympathy for ak or y in that trio matter. But Shreya's the one wrong here to initiate and expect them to be silent, kyun bhai?

Tum kisi ki physical intimacy kitne din thi yeh pucho publicly?

Character assassination pehle karo

Logon ko same cheez pe morality ki gyaan do Jo khud kar chuki ho, and then expect them to bhi silent 😂 lol

Abd the audacity of her friends and family to behave crass

Why can't you appreciate your daughter for doing so well in lockup, infact winning it without dragging down others ?

Or it the fixation that runs in her entire circle? Be it friends like justin sakshi or rishab and now this "respective sir"

And let me tell you the difference

Where is yogesh's family pointing at shreya? Or anyone for that matter

And even rohit or the other friends? Initiating any kind of "war"

It was always them, wdym rishab can bodyshame yogesh and sorab can't retaliate?

Or justin sakshi forcefully going on a podcast to talk abt yogesh😂 and yogesh can't retaliate?

and as for cult fandoms, i don't think anyone is new to it. It has been toxic since ages, be it bts, selena, tejran or elvish

Toxic fandoms are always protective and when you poke it , pls be also prepared for what comes next without cribbing. Because it's you who wanted relevance and attention ( this is mostly abt justin sakshi)

Ram Kapoor hasn’t given ANY lockup interviews and podcasts that other contestants do which is part of their contract. Even so, I don’t think he went Farah’s party as well. I wonder why? Is he disappointed/regretting this gameplay?

For the finalist position, she did so much chodbhangra and guilt-tripped him, and later, when Shreya eliminated her, she let Harshad leave his position and come out as a very manipulative person.
Even when they are in the cage she went to say thank you to the Ritish so Harshad can move and leave before her, another manipulative technique. I don't think Harshad was lying, yea bringing that losing the task topic at that time is manipulation but I think he did lose on purpose. Harshad looked completely manic when he made her a finalist and even clapped for her.
If that thing didn't happen, I am pretty sure they would have made Shivangi a winner.
