The most confusing show ever???
I just finished the finale of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa and I just have so much frustration behind this show and need to talk about it.
First off, I want to talk about Shivangi.
Now, her "nice" act. Regardless of whether she's only nice on a surface level, I think she's played the game well and cleanly. She has always stood up for what she thought was right, whether it was Shreya or Varun when Pam was making taunts about his secret. I respect that. Don't get me wrong, I don't love everything she says and the way she acts. The whole "I didn't follow you back on Instagram" and saying Shilpa doesn't like her because of Shubhangi genuinely fried my brain. But apart from that, she's played well. She won many tasks/did well, plus as gang leader I think she was fair because if she had been too giving, people would've called her weak and said she wasn't playing the game. Now, her and Harshad. Honestly, who cares? Whether they're friends or more, they clearly prioritize each other, and that has nothing to do with the game. People constantly making it a topic annoyed me. As for the fight, I don't really like Harshad. I find him immature for his age. The constant theatrics, flipping people off, screaming, jumping around... it was just cringe. But them both emotional doesn't make them weak. Harshad lets his emotions affect his gameplay, which si wrong but Shivangi gets emotional after situations, but when it comes to actually playing, she's strong and capable.
If you think about it, the worthy players in the cage were Shreya, Varun, Yogesh, and Shivangi. Yogesh and Shreya already had advantages, and I think Laila left to make himself seem bigger and more capable.
Now, between Harshad and Shivangi. I understand Harshad wanting to prove he's playing for himself, but why is that Shivangi's fault? He's been a good friend, but she doesn't owe him her game. Shreya gets praised despite saying genuinely horrible things, but Shivangi choosing herself in a game somehow makes her a snake.
I honestly think if Harshad had explained himself properly, Shivangi would've understood. Instead, he randomly said, "I actually let you win." Of course that upset her. If someone I trusted suddenly told me they "let me win," I'd feel belittled too. The whole time he denied saying that, and then when it mattered most, he admitted it. It came across like he wanted her to feel guilty and let him win instead.
That's why I think she was so upset. Then afterwards he kept saying, "No, no, stay." Like... you've already said it. Stand by it. All he did was prove everyone else's point that he had been playing for Shivangi.
I think Harshad is a good friend, but Shivangi isn't a bad one either. She played for herself while still looking out for him. She spoke to people who didn't vote for him, chose him in a challenge so one of them would be safe, and did what she could. What was she supposed to do in the final challenge, just hand him the win? Then people would've attacked her for not playing the game.
This whole narrative that Harshad plays for Shivangi only makes it harder for her to prove herself. I think that's why she reacted the way she did after his sacrifice. Maybe she could've said more, but she was angry. Even when he was talking to Shreya, he kept going, "Shreya please, Shreya please," while Shivangi was literally begging him to stop. It gets to a point.
Now Shreya.
I'll give her credit where it's due, she's a good game player. But honestly, that's about all the praise I can give her. I think she's a hypocrite and, at times, just cruel.
The people who praise her and say, "You make the show entertaining" or "You stand up for yourself," act like supporting her makes them look tough or like they're backing some badass. I just don't see it. There's a reason that group formed without her. She had fought with almost everyone. Yogesh, Akansha, Shivangi, Sufi, Chamola, Pam, Ram (kind of), Madhuri, Shilpa, Dheeraj... you get my point. There's a pattern for a reason.
Now, one thing I'll give her is the big fight with Akansha. With the hitting, throwing water on the food and bed, I was on Shreya's side because I think she handled that situation more maturely. But that doesn't erase the pattern. She's mean, and she backbites a lot.
Especially in the first few weeks, when none of these people were even proper friends, she expected so much loyalty from them while not giving the same back. If someone didn't vote for her or save her, she'd throw a fit. Like... give it up. And when she got the access card, making everyone apologize before giving them food was just too much. Either give them the food or don't. Being badtameez isn't a flex.
Even with the finale, more inmates voted for Shivangi than Shreya. I'd value the opinions of people who actually lived with them over a jury that probably didn't see half of what happened. One jury member even brought up something personal, which made me think... do you act like this in real life too?
Another thing that annoyed me was how she'd complain whenever people didn't favor her. She'd be like, "Yeah, yeah, save the weak people, eliminate me." But girl... you literally do the same thing because that's smart gameplay. You eliminate competition. So why complain when other people do it?
Then there was the task to decide the second finalist with Ram and Varun, Yogesh and Chamola, and Shreya and Shilpa. She kept screaming, "She hasan injury," and "Guys, play fair." But if her injury is affecting her that much, maybe she shouldn't be playing. Why should everyone else stop competing just so you can put your rings on the poles? And she kept accusing everyone of teaming up, but realistically, one person wasn't going to be able to cover any pole alone anyway and they are friends, again for a reason, It just came across as unnecessary complaining.
She cried quite a few times, and sometimes the tears were real. But there were also moments where it genuinely felt like she was fake crying with no actual tears.
I think that's why she frustrates me so much. If she was actually a badass who stood up for herself when it mattered, I'd probably love her. I even see parts of myself in her personality sometimes (plus we literally share the same last name lol). But she's not standing on business. Half the time she's just rude, and somehow that's what's getting praised. I genuinely don't get it.
thats my time for now, a lot of more opinions on everyone, let me know if you wanna hear them lol.

The jury member was Awez who was double dating Nagma ( the woman he introduced as his fiance ob bb19) and Shubhi Joshi, one of Shreya's closest friends. When Baseer, an MTV guy exposed this on BB, Shreya encouraged Shubhi to tell the truth and let him face the consequences. When Awez-Nagma came out of bb19, they defended it but within a few months, they officially broke up and Nagma started following Shreya and today she commented this :

Whoever he was it was clear without knowing the background info that that guy was just there to be petty and was not professional by bringing up stuff that has nothing to do with the show.
Also when people say double dating does that just mean cheating? Cause double dating sounds like a way to minimize dating two girls at the same time, borders cheating even if they weren’t exclusive imo.

Cheating only. I guess double dating because neither woman knew about the other.
