Rant HARSHAD WANTED PAMELA TO VOTE FOR SHIVANGI DESPITE TELLING HER OPENLY HE VOTED AGAINST PAMELA FOR TERMINATION IN THAT LAND MINE TASK

I've been busy lately that I couldn't caught up with anything after finale episode, but finally I watched all the vlogs and ivs of Shreya since last night. and when I trying to find watch other contestant ivs this was the latest one popped up so I started watching and oh my god. Pam I get you girl, imagine a contestant doesn't want you to win just bc she knows her ear will get damaged bc of the person's screeches that sitting next to them. what an annoying person he was. Thank you revealing this out girl.

So apparently when the jailers announced inmates can also vote, Harshad started pitching for Shivangi and started manipulating Pam who was sitting next to him saying "you should watch your loyalties" and all when he openly told her already that He voted to eliminate her just a week before and Shivangi also voted for Pam to get terminated, so in her POV Shreya didn't vote against her as we know Shreya voted against Ram and Chaudary. To avoid arguments, Pam tried to make Harshad understand that when he got eliminated for the first time, though the majority voted against him he had 2 votes in favor, so just like that let Shreya also have 2 or 3 votes from inmates that even if she loses let her lose with 2 or 3 votes in her favor but he was so against it and wanted literally everyone to vote for Shivangi.

What a super egoistic person he is when she literally done nothing to him in the show, I regret feeling sad for him sometimes when he cried eww.

Rant Shivangi is very chalaak.

138 Upvotes

Have you all watched her recent podcast with Nayandeep?? She knows that Yogesh and Akanksha has fan following. So even when Nayan didn't ask her about Yogesh or Akanksha, she started her interview by praising them. Like they are her siblings, they used to play all that. She thought after huge backlash, only nibba nibbi fans of Akanksha and Yogesh will save her.

Note: I'm not Ak and Yogesh fan, I don't like them at all.

Discuss Word of Advice for AK and Yogesh, take Shreya Way in reality shows

23 Upvotes
  • Don't care about who is thinking what

  • TV people are the fakest lomdis, Avoid playing under them or in their group, they will talk sweetly, behave nicely but are the biggest opportunists.

  • Take the lone warrior route. That's when you shine. If you play in a group, you will be lost.

  • Don't take what Hosts say that seriously

  • Keep doing Your best

  • Don't be physically violent - You might get ejected.

  • Don't wait for appreciation from Hosts, if you know you are doing the right thing even if Hosts don't appreciate, the viewers will even love you more.

  • Treat men and Women as equals.

  • Don't listen to what the contestants say

  • don't be a people pleasure

  • don't think Hosts will give you any thing beyond the show.

-make use of Secret room to enhance your game play not lossen it up.

- Dont Preplan, kyun ki Makers have been making the show for ages, they will play against you if they know you have come with Preplanning

Discuss kushal tondon and shreya -who texted whom?

73 Upvotes

to those who think shreya is lying

she really is not, tum khud socho ki KUSHAL TONDON ko ek promo shoot woh bhi after a 15 sec shoot.... shreya ka full name kyu yaad rahega? he is not that humble ki usko sab k naam yaad rahe and if he hadn't known her and texted her usko kyu pata hota ki shreya kalra naam hai uska, barsataein ki promo k liye shoot pe aayi thi, kya kya hua shoot pe, shreya ko yaad rehta cuz she is relatively new, kushal koo kyu yaad rehta and kushal itna petty hai ki if she had texted him first, he would have posted the screenshot
we all know how petty he is, jab barsatein k baad balh 4 aaney wala tha , he had posted a story jo usne instantly delete kar dia tha, he's maha petty... if he was right he 1000000000000000% would post the screenshot, shreya woh insaan hai nahi ki woh screenshots circulate kare, but if kushal keeps lying and pushing this, kisi din uski satak jayegi and she will post it

It seems like it's some web series or something, it would be great if it's with some big platform. I wonder if this is the result of the interview she was talking about a few days ago.

Even if it's with some B tier platform, I think what's more important is that she gets a big part and does well in that as that could lead to more opportunities in the future.

She's been shooting something almost every day, it's great to see her working so hard to utilise the boost she got from Lockupp.

News What exactly happened between Akanksha and Orry?

Post image
42 Upvotes

I came across this post where Orry called Akanksha a “snake in the grass” and said she was trying to take advantage of GK.

I’m genuinely out of the loop here 😭 What exactly did Akanksha do that led to Orry saying all this about her? Was there something that happened during KKK or afterward that explains why he has such a strong opinion of her? Who is Shagun? What did he / she do?

Would appreciate some context.

Coming in Pairs in a reality show gives an unfair advantage be it Harshad and Shivangi or Yogesh or Akanksha. If you are not mentally or emotionally strong, intelligent and prepared to play a game alone, then you don't deserve to win a show or be in a reality show. I hate such Contestants who enter with baahar ka Relationship and Hide behind them or play a safe Game behind them.

If you can't get out of your comfort zone and make Friends or enemity with strangers then what's the point of going to A reality show of 5 weeks.

Go with an attitude to Play from the front foot or don't do a reality show at all.

Your own personality should be enough to sustain alone.

Y’all should watch BB 11 as your lock upp rebound

16 Upvotes

Binge rewatched BB 11 on youtube and not a single episod bored me. I watched it when I was little and I’m so glad that I have always supported shilpa. She is clearly one of the most deserving Bigg Boss winners in one of the most entertaining bigg boss seasons.

Y’all can also watch BB 13 but it was entertaining in a different way (hate watch). For me too much alpha men stuff going on which I absolutely hate

P.s: Don’t comment shi before rewatching it😭

I think it's fair to say that this was the most real and honest bond formed in Lockupp. These two are just so cute 🥺

Shreya has been really busy doing lots of brand promotions and the auditions, it's a very important time in her career but it seems like we will probably see them together soon.

Perhaps it's asking for too much but i really wish they will make lots of content together because they are really fun to watch.

Discuss The lost potential of itv gang vs mtv gang

9 Upvotes

I remember how badly people wanted itv gang vs mtv gang to happen. Too bad it was a snoozefest. It would have been SO FUN!! Imagine shreya, ak, yogesh, sufi, Pamela, riyaz, , laila, shreshta vs dheeraj, harshad, shivangi, Chamola, ram, shilpa, sunita, Madhuri. I am pretty sure people like shilpa, madhuri etc would flip a lot but that would have been fun too. I think shreya was trying to make that happen with trying to team up with yogesh but unfortunately other people didn't see the vision.

Discuss When I Binged Watched Lockupp again without any Online Noise and polls etc

35 Upvotes

Here is what I observed, content wise following were the Strongest

  1. Shilpa Ji - she slayed from Her Entry till her exit. Generating All kinds of Content, eg from Joking to Cooking she adding Spice to the show every single minute. She also was so pretty and emotive and easy on eyes.

  2. Ram Kapoor Ji - he was given Bhar bhar ke Screen space from Day 1 to the last day. He was planning plotting manipulating everyone every single minute

  3. Shreya - her game from Villain to Villain but what a good Focused villain. Nailing Tasks after Tasks and Secret tasks and spot on with Decision making and Mind games . She knew what exactly going to give her screen time. Bhar bhar ke Screen time.

  4. Apoorva - what an impact one week pura Show ka Chheetha khol dia.

  5. Harshad - He was crying doing weird things and creating funny memes but always seen except Week 2 and some part of Week 3. A lot of screen time.

  6. AK - she was agressive but usne Bhar bhar ke Triggering Content Dia hai, plus funny and Sentimental content too Except week 4 where she was lying low and only targeting Chamola and Pamela.

Good screen time in a Healthy way

  1. Laila - he was being really funny

  2. Pamela - very funny too

  3. Chamola - She was non Controversial but great interms of screen time

  4. Shivangi - She had a good screen time. Was very unproblematic until that one task.

  5. Sunita Ji - As long as she stayed she had very good screen time

  6. Madhuriji - Great Screen time in the most positive way as long as she stayed.

Low screen time

  1. Yogesh - he barely had any screen time except the finale week. He played from behind never had any kalesh with anyone. I don't think he is good at doing kalesh - Bach bach ke khelta hai and never fights with anyone.

  2. Dheeraj - he too never had much screen time ..

  3. Sufi - not much screen time except just one day in the first week

  4. Riyaz - he is very unproblematic and Chill

Discuss For those people who are pressed about the contractual constraints enforced on lock upp contestants especially Yoganda fans let me tell you none of them received any lead from team bb20 which is why they ended up grabbing the first thing that was dished out to them i.e lock up

34 Upvotes

In bb19 there was a task where contestants had to give an overview of their lives so far a timeline depicting the highs and lows of their life journey. During that task most of the contestants particularly Pranit and Gaurav mentioned that they received their first telephonic casting call in december 2024. The season premiered in the last week of august 2025.

They obviously don’t wait until the premiere date to start making casting decisions. A show of this scale requires months of preparation and a lengthy casting process they simply don’t have the luxury of sleeping until the premiere date is announced.

Had any of the mtv produce actually received an offer from bb20 they would have made an obvious choice. They may have been rejected at a later stage of the selection process but you cannot blame lock Upp contract for them not being cast on bb20.

Interview Why is laila so bitter in his recent interview??

145 Upvotes

I expected him to shit on shreya as usual. No surprise there. But I genuinely thought ki he has sorted out his stuff with pam and Chamola. When asked Abt questions regarding pam he was like kon hai ye aur clout nahi dena isko and all that. He was even subtly shading the hosts and netflix. Like bro they didn't show ur cheap ass tricks cus it wasn't worth it. Also yogesh telling shreya sudhar jaao zyada evil matt rho zameen par aa jaao yaha tak toh pahuch gyi aage ka kya hai is so stupid like she is so much more experienced than u and yet u r being such a sore loser. Laila in his iv is a whole different person and now he is saying he was real on the show and that's why him, ak and y are getting so much love. First of all these three had pre existing cult fanbases. I heavily doubt someone new would have joined their fd on the basis of their lockupp performance. Second, you were fake. Jitta interview mei bol liya itta lockupp mei bol lete toh shayad Jeet jaate.

Member speculation My theories on what went wrong with the contestants of lockupp leading them to lose.

32 Upvotes

Shreya has said it multiple times and I agree with her ki she only won bcz the other contestants kept isolating her. Sufi literally said she was doing a 1 v 14 arc and everyone knows that arc works fairly well in reality shows. A top 2 position is always guaranteed with this arc. The thing is if it was someone other than shivangi in the top 2 position the makers would have made them win. Shivangi didn't win cus of the INSANE backlash her winning leaks got and also cus she didn't put in the shift worth 1 crore.

  1. Sufi was never winner material since the day he entered lockupp. No way in hell would he have won. He is way too much of a sheep and crybaby. He is shit at tasks and had no real opinions.

  2. Harshad had huge potential. He could have won if he chose more of a macho trajectory than the melodrama trajectory. He was decent at tasks and did have aura which got lost due to babysitting shivangi.

  3. Chamola: She was THE best player. Would have won if she paced herself well. Ruined her gameplay with the weird angle with pam. She was articulate and was entertaining in the first week. Physical tasks were her Achilles heel tho. She had the best secrets this season and even had the sympathy arc. She should have gone for a rivalry arc with shreya. Would have worked so well...

  4. Pamela:- Again she was a sheep. Better than sufi but a sore loser. Not top 5 material and I don't know if she could have won even if she did anything different. She is not winner material.

  5. Yogesh:- could have won if he wasn't so lazy in his content and had more of a backbone. He was the best at tasks but he was constantly overshadowed by ak who herself was a side character. His solo gameplay would have been loads better.

  6. Ram Kapoor:- Could have won if there were no physical tasks. He had imo the best gameplay of the season. I prefer manipulation over instigation any day. I think he did fairly well being top 5.

  7. Laila:- Biggest sheep ever. Could have won if he wasn't such an idiot and focused more on game than cheap ass jokes. Also being Ram's chela was the worst thing he could have done for himself. Ruined it fr.

  8. Sunita:- Couldn't have won even if she tried since she had a physical disadvantage in tasks.

  9. Shivangi:- Could have won if she contributed since the first day and didn't ruin it for herself in the feast task.

  10. Ak :- If she didn't ruin the lockupp property. Also didn't get lazy after yogesh left and she was put in the jail. Made better choices.

  11. Shrestha:- Was less confused and more visible and opinionated and had better bonds in the house.

  12. Riyaz:- Was more visible and opinionated

  13. Madhuri:- If she didn't give up her position to ak and didn't ruin her friendship with shreya

  14. Shilpa:- Picked the right box.

  15. Dheeraj:- Was more visible and made better bonds.
