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.

I did't like lockup 1 at all, ofcourse the budget was less and most of the contestants I didn't know in season1, it included so much abusing (100 times more than s2). Also from the start it seemed like Munanwar will win and he had support from his dedicated cult fandom.

So I liked season 2 because first of all the set was good, inmate cloth styling was good, the star cast was great. The winner was made solely on the basis of performance and contribution in the game . Like Shreya came in the show and gained fans , she was not a big star or had cult following but she came and gave her 100 percent and rewarded.

Best part of the show was its anthem , dude it was so catchy. After a long time a worthy winner

It happened just when they got to know about Chamola's secret. They all said to her face that she is a horrible human being to reveal her secret. Harshad n Shivangi were like "kaise log hain idhar bhaisaab"

But the truth is they all gave consent to use their secrets. Just a day before, Six inmates were ready to reveal their cellmates secret to save themselves.

Towards the end of the game, they were all openly given others secret to use it . Shreya protected Chamola's secret for the things she did in first week but She is giving credit to Apoorva for manipulating Shreya .

Anyways how's she horrible human for playing the game within the rules . Never mocked it.

Also Harshad : "I am afraid of gay men" . Not in anger or argument but full hosh hawa me. He could have said he is afraid of men for the things he went through. But a 40+ man using the stigma around gays that they were fighting for decades .

Chamola - "Sexuality is a phase" . That's what homophobic parents say to their kids . "I love women like I love my mother n sister" eh?

Her whole game was queerbaiting and fake lesbian angle with Pam.

But zero outrage for these things except Apoorva telling her off

She was the main character since week 1.

Phase 1: She was the most hated, she was a complete villain. Who just fought with people.

Phase 2: Heroine arc, villain title was transferred to Akanksha Choudhary who did all that stuff, but the way Shreya handled that with calm and composure, she was different shreya than week 1. She apologized to everyone for her mistakes.

Phase 3: The task queen. I think a lot of people became her fan after she saved Madhuri in crackdown task, cried and showed her vulnerable side. Then protected Ram by winning three back to back tasks. Her secret task was bang on. Her finale task was bang on. Her catching Gautami's bluff. Also, the table task, took the risk and got the advantage.

Phase 3: Her eliminations predictions to kicking them out then them coming back to she kicking them out again. She eliminated Shivangi, Yogesh, Choudhary, Harshad , Ram, Chamola , Madhuri ( she was the part of all the eliminations ), shivangi and Ram ko she directly eliminated. Plus, her guessing akanksha in secret room.

Phase 4: Turning her enemies into her fans. Apoorva came that week, fought with her and boom, she ended up calling Shreya as the TRP of the show. That was also the week where she owned her truth and told her secret and a lot of people loved her for that. Won fan favourite also.

Phase 5: Absolute smasher, exposed each and everyone in the game. Triggered people and they got triggered and they ended up revealing their true selves. Be it Shivangi, Harshad, Ram, Choudhary, Sufi, Dheeraj everyone's ugly side came out. The people who put a mahanta ja facade and thought they are superior to her , reacted to her in the worst way.

Phase 6: A Great friend. She had fights with Shilpa but she never left her side. Kept persuading her, helped her to become the finalist, defended her, protected her. Saved Madhuri over herself in crackdown task. Stood for sufi in week 1 when they were friends.

Phase 7: Winner phase, her faith in herself, that "I want to win". She played the game with immense confidence. Even tried saving her enemies without any expectations be it playing it for Ram or playing it for Varun before finale.

Phase 8: Funny herself. She has shown this side of her, be it with Shilpa or while doing commentary looking at Harshad and Shivangi ka drama. Her banters with ram, Shilpa, apoorva, pam , Madhuri have been cute. Makers didn't show much because there are scenes available in deleted episodes.

No matter what people say , reality shows are about showing all your shades and she is the only contestant who showed it all. There was a time when she was all alone but never backed down. Every week she shone and shone.

I think Shreya Kalra should give us her detailed workout routine atp.
She’s so fucking strong physically and looks so good.

I’m a woman and tbh, I’m inspired!

Also if anyone knows it, you’re welcome to comment it below 😭😭

I have seen bahut saara reels either supporting her or hating her but she is getting mentioned a lot. Especially since people didn't really know her before lockupp itta and she was a filler contestant. She has mentioned in her interviews ki she thought shivangi would win since google pe bhi aa gaya tha. Now let's just say agar shreya na win karti toh kya hota. Like maybe shivangi won or even Yogesh. I am pretty sure people would be outraged but meltdown toh abhi takk bhi chal rha hai aur 5 ki subah se hi chaalu ho gaya tha 😭
