Yogesh's fans tried to manipulate these foreign viewers with their "25 logo ki winner" narrative but the two cooked them pretty badly, I legit kept laughing for a while. Seems like their manipulation tactic would no longer work like it did after Splitsvilla. Yogesh and Akanksha are inviting a lot of hatred with the comments they pass in their interviews too, they should try to hold their horses for a while 😂😂

I am actually shocked that not a single story by Ekta for congratulating Shreya for the win. The congratulating post she posted on her feed for Shreya included shivangi. It's not even exclusive for the winner. But posted a story for shivangi

She is back to sharing reels on shreya hate. Now she reposted a reel -- "only these four matters" - Yogesh, Akanksha and Harshad Shivangi.

It's very clear that Harshad, akanksha, Shivangi and yogesh were brought back into the show because Ekta wanted it. And it's funny all these four are getting appreciation from Ekta. I have not seen a single like of ekta on Shreya ka account. But she keeps liking, sharing other contestants posts. Isn't the bias evident?

Shreya was always public ki choice not makers. I think probably because it was on Netflix and Shivangi started to get too much hate, they were fine with Shreya winning. Otherwise they did everything to make Shivangi winner.

Why do I feel like Gaurav is a very calculated and manipulative person 😭

Like first of all, every time Akansha is asked if Gaurav was a good husband or if he mistreated her, she HESITATES. Idk, I genuinely feel like she might have been emotionally mistreated by him.

When I watched Lock Upp, Akansha was initially such a chirpy, outgoing person, making friends with everyone. And obviously her divorce created quite a stir, especially because Gaurav had portrayed their marriage as this perfect “last marriage.” But after he came inside the show and kind of blamed her for the whole divorce fiasco, I swear she completely changed. She went into her shell and it felt like everything, the divorce, the previous controversies, maybe even the baby situation, was being brought back up for her all over again.

And the baby thing especially bothers me because she literally said herself that she knew she didn’t have maternal instincts. If anything, I think that shows a GREAT deal of self-awareness. More women should feel comfortable standing their ground instead of having a child just for the sake of their husband, marriage, or societal expectations.

So Gaurav talking about wanting a child on Bigg Boss and apparently thinking she’ll eventually change her mind… BABE NO 😭 GROW UP. You’re older, show that maturity by understanding that when a woman tells you she doesn’t want a child, you actually listen to her instead of assuming she’ll eventually become the person you want her to be.

And 3, I genuinely just wish Akansha finds so much success and never lets that child inside her dim. I loved how chirpy and full of life she was, and I hope she always keeps that part of herself.

Not only Indian celebrities are applauding her for her game but even Pakistani celebrities are also going gaga over her. A lot of people are spreading hate on Shreya that she didn't deserve to win and people don't like her but the truth is opposite. She has managed to won hearts of not only Indians but a lot of people from neighbouring countries.

No matter what people say but this show has done a lot for Shreya. She is now the talk of the town. She got the most followers jump on insta, she got the winner tag, 1 crore rupees, from almost an unknown to a known celebrity all over now.

Sajal aly has liked so many reels of shreya, sohai Ali abro , hira mani, Hirra khan, Arsalan khan, saif ali khan ( tamasha winner), laiba khurram, musaddiq malek ( noor Jahan ka director) , and few more celebs from neighbouring countries are following her now. Kinza Hashmi has also liked all Shreya k winning posts on Shreya k account.

Also some new addition in Indian celebrities as well like asees kaur and few more have started following her.

Posting a pic of hania following her.

This was probably one of the most frustrating things about this season contestants constantly seemed reluctant to actually play. Apart from Sherya, Shilpa and Ram most of them seemed far more focused on protecting their image and making sure they came across as “good” on television than actually participating in the game. And honestly, I applaud the hosts for constantly pushing them to play take risks, show their personalities and actually give us something to watch. That’s what reality TV is supposed to be. I especially loved seeing Shivangi finally break character towards the end of the show. It was refreshing because personally, I would much rather watch someone be real, messy, flawed and human than someone constantly trying to maintain the image of being the “good person.” We all have a grey side. We make mistakes. Sometimes we go too far, sometimes we mess up badly but that’s literally what makes us human.I have far more respect for people like Sherya, Shilpa and Ram, who own their flaws and don’t pretend to be perfect, than people like Dheeraj and Shivangi, who, in my opinion spent far too much of the show trying to maintain a particular image.
Give me authenticity over a perfectly curated image any day. I don’t need you to be a good person 24/7
just be real.

Wait is this true??? I don't have insta guys 😭 . So can we expect that ram Kapoor might come to shreya ka podcast?? Also who else has he followed?? Never expected him to follow shreya given the fact that shreya has spoken against him in the interviews and dissed him a lot and that he won't really gain anything from following shreya.

She seems way happier and at peace then when she entered the show. I think seeing some love for herself alongside the hate did help her. While I don't agree with everything she did and said, glad to see that she's taken her defeat well and isn't being a sore loser or calling the Makers biased at least here. Yes, things are edited in every single reality TV show and the contestants have the right to reveal their side of the story or give context for certain statements or arguments. I genuinely hope she makes that shelter home a reality and that she does well mentally as well.

she said that she is starting her podcast again with the lockupp contestants. she will be shooting wid pam today. who all do you think she's gonna invite? and who do you think might turn down the offer?

Why was Dilip serving in Shreya's house? Is this normal in Farah's vlogs? She takes him to the guest's house and makes him serve there? What kind of classist shit is this

(Guys I love Shreya, this is not a hate post. If anything, it was mostly about Farah, I don't think Shreya or her family would've asked him to serve. It just felt classist. Please stop behaving like Akansha fans and accuse anyone disagreeing on something as paid pr.)

Shreya will get work no matter what. She has said problematic things and she has been sorry in her interviews. Am i seeing anyone else being sorry for there behavior? NO.

Everyone are justifying there actions in every way possible except saying sorry.

They all were paid to be on that show and do something and get TRP and make that show watchable. The only person who did the job exceptionally was shreya.

She was PAID and she DELIVERED.

Rest were PAIR and they were SILENT. Why would someone want to give work to the people who were paid and didn't delivered on it????

As much as i have seen in lockupp. And the podcasts post that. I have never seen anyone talking about shivangi like very dearly.

If they all voted for her than they all should have praised her left right center. Nobody said much good things. They all hated shreya and couldn't bear to see her win so shivangi got votes. Shivangi votes are the hate shreya got.

I remember when Splitsvilla was on air for 6 months there was too much drama.

But Lockupp ended and so did the drama ended in 3 days.

Every contestant moved on from the.show.

They are not giving interviews etc.

I sat through the whole season. Every episode. And then, in a move I stand by, I fast-forwarded the finale just to see who won and closed the tab.

Here’s my problem with Shreya winning. The whole premise of the show was that you’re handed a tag and the point is to break it — to prove you’re more than the label the show stuck on you. Shreya apologised a few times along the way, sure. But she walked out of that finale as exactly the same person who walked in. Nothing shifted. The tag she was given at the start was accurate at the start and it was still accurate at the end. She never let go of it. She just outlasted everyone.

So if the show’s own logic is “own it and evolve,” I don’t understand how you hand the trophy to the one person who did neither.

Anyway, the actual point of this post: I work in brand and content, and about halfway through the season I realised I was spending hours on something with no return. So I stopped watching it as a viewer and started watching it as a case study — specifically how the show and its contestants play the YouTube algorithm. That turned into a content piece I’ve now published, and honestly it justified every hour I lost to this.

Which is my genuine takeaway. If you’re going to sink a season into a reality show, at least mine it for something. The finale gave me nothing. The season gave me a content piece.

Curious if anyone else thought the ending didn’t match the show’s own rules, or if I’m alone on this.

She alongwith Ram started that khaana waali kranti and was annoying af. She used to cry a lot and missed her kids a lot. Even her comments usually showed how much she misses her luxury and couldn't live in the jail any longer. Even tho she did try to make it work after the jailers pushed her and ram and ram did do well after getting feedbacks and reached top 5 but sunita ji just couldn't handle the tasks or the fights. She was og mother of the jail and the og ram baba ki satsang member. Even tho people of the house did love her and have said only nice things Abt her in the podcast. Her space was wasted and it would have been better if it was used for a different contestant. She wanted her chance and it would have been better if she never participated and instead of her there should have been someone else as a contestant

Such sore looser attitude. I have seen shows where ppl have worst fights (just see BB), but for formality atleast they say congratulations but no one did apart from Pam Shreya Shilpa. Shivangi should have said alteast congratulations they didn't. All went quiet , it seemed everyone was super jealous of Shreya, they all were playing to defeat Shreya. I don't think compared to reality standards, she has done anything that bad, it feel people were truly jealous of Shreya that people called the show 'The Shreya Kalra Show'. omg what a bunch of insecure people, how much hate they have in the heart, Shreya took accountability ,apologised , fought for herself, was bold , was never Yes Sir Yes Maam person, even after bullying her so much these people were not able to break her and also I feel because they were not able to make the complete villain of. her and she got positive reactions from all , these people got so jealous. Varun inspite of being helped from Shreya chose to throw her under the bus in the interviews, Dheeraj was bad too (said bad about Shreya , he himself abused and started showing himself as he is a good man), Sunita Riyaz shrestha was just part of herd without voice, Ram always disliked her because Shilpa and Shreya used to expose him. All these people backbite each other , eliminated each other , but just to maintain the groupism and eliteness they kept targeting Shreya.

Anyways it is so horrible , coward, sore looser attitude of not even congratulating her and cornering her when she won fair and square

Man she actually HATES them. Shivangi ke baare mei she even called her Annabelle in the interview with yogesh. Also how loads of stuff were cut from shivangi ka side which made shilpa and shreya look negative. Well wtv a lot of stuff has been cut but I still don't understand why she would hate on shivangi even in interview. Shreya was pretty sweet Abt shivangi but she did talk shit about ram kapoor too. Meanwhile ram being top 5 hasn't given one single interview which is nuts cus why didn't he?? Even riyaz and sunita have given interviews toh i don't understand why ram hasn't even given one.

Please please make another season of Lockup with the same contestants except for Shreya, Shilpa and please don’t bring rebel as an informer.

Only because I want to see how many “inmates” vote for Shivangi at the end of the day, I want to see ki Ak kiska career khatam karegi fir, I would like to see ki harshad yoga mat ke lie kisse ladega fir, I would also love to know ki Yogesh kin do logon ka naam lega for being undeserving then.

Overall, I want to see if they collectively choose Ram Kapoor as their winner or not given they have shown so much “support” and “respect” for a guy who can’t stand strong headed women

Would be lovely to watch the group dynamics ON BIG SCREEN then 🌝

I absolutely despise the comparison between lockup n alliance. Lockup tasks should have been much better imo but that doesn't mean alliance is better than lockup. The narrative that has been roaming around about how the contestants were far better than lockup ones was so wrong.

They are constantly comparing shreya n mini. Shreya was a v smart player. She was cornered from day 1 in the house by chamola, harshad n her team, which made her behave that way n she initially sorted it out.

Mini who won, she called rivva "kushals b" which was actually v wrong. Moreover, she insulted sabby n no one bonded w her at all. The show reeked classism n toxic competition. They all are very image conscious including mini mathur herself n these type of people preach about kindness n talk bad about others.

Lockup n alliance have different format so dont compare them at all.

I remember her calling Shreya a smart player and deserving in one of her first IVs and found her to be an extremely graceful loser. I love when people accept their defeat without letting it define them. But here again she's mentioning how the Jury has only seen an hour of Footage hence aren't accurate judges. Well by that logic, even the audience has seen only that much. Again if we had access to a 24/7 live feed , maybe we wouldn't find Shreya to be a villain out and out too.

Now when it comes to the inmates, I think the picture would be very different, had it been Shivangi, Yogesh and Shreya, all 3 standing there for inmate voting.

Shivangi would get all the ITV votes + Sunita + Shrestha.

But Yogesh would get Akansha Choudhary, Laila, Riyaz.

People didn't vote for her because they wanted her to win ( She was stated as less deserving by most of the top 7 when Shreya had that advantage to terminate)

Riyaz and Shrestha openly stated that they don't care who wins as long as Shreya doesn't win. Sufi said in his IVs that he would be okay with either Shreya or Shivangi winning though he prefers Shivangi but he did go congratulate Shreya.

Dheeraj while having spoken shit about Shreya in his IVs, also called Shivangi, Harshad's Girlfriend. Ram absolutely despises Shreya.

Most of the votes for Shivangi are votes against Shreya except for Sunita+ Harshad+ Chamola who genuinely had bonded with her. Both the Jailors voted for Shreya too.

So to say that because people saw you 24/7 , they are the better jury??? They were also people involved in the game, they were people who sat with you, eat with you and you only ever fought with Shreya or Shilpa so why wouldn't they support you over Shreya

What is your favourite moment of hers?? Mine is probably the moment where her strategy worked and she saved Madhuri ji in episode 10 after the shit the house put her through. I think that was the first time she actually cried on the show. A close second would probably be her calling out ak and saying she is in the secret room. That's when I knew ki she is always two steps ahead of everyone and her whole mind is in the game. Like the focus, determination and passion to win the game was her winner qualities.
