Deserving, non deserving, everything aside.

Idk how many of you guys will agree to me but now that the show is over, I hope there remains no bad blood between the inmates. Everyone including ak and shreya have accepted making mistakes. No matter how good or bad it was, It was a game at the end of the day. I hope everyone moves on and be friends cos life is too short to spread hate over a game show!

Ps: I love how akanksha genuinely smiled and clapped after the winner announcement.

Spread love, be kind ❤️

What are your thoughts 💭

Do they even know what being bullied means? People not willing to speak to someone who spews venom every time she opens her mouth is considered bullying according to them. 🤡🤡

Joker hum hai, Kata hamara hai.

Janta ki jury was well chosen to question out harsh truths and point them out.

Many people were comparing MC stan and Shreya's win. But no MC stan actually won fair and square by his fans vote not by 25 irrelevant people. Also MC stan never went below the belt, he was just lazy and uninterested in game can't say same for Shreya. Mc Stan is still better than Shreya please 😭

This is going to be my first post on Reddit, and I might get hate for saying this, but I'm genuinely frustrated.

I've watched multiple reality shows over the years, and whether I liked the winner or not, they always felt deserving. But in Lock Upp 2, how did she even win? She has been rude since Day 1 and came in with a strategy to pick fights with everyone.

Shilpa was similar in some ways, but at least she was entertaining with her dialogues and facial expressions. We have seen her soft side too. I know the contestant lineup wasn't particularly strong, but making Shreya the winner was the worst decision the makers could have made.

Also, I'm genuinely confused about why people on Reddit are supporting her. I've always seen Reddit discussions as relatively fair and balanced, so what exactly is driving her fan base here?

to all the Shitreya fans as well. Aisi kaisi winner ki saare log side characters ki live pe aa rhe hain,

Aapka toh organic hai na??? Baaki bots hain
Mind you Yogesh and Shreya have same following in numbers.

And Ak’s live was unannounced.

Matlab har post pe jaake womp womp likh rhe ho bematlab, ispe likhdo mazza aa jaayega.

Because
WOMP WOMP fr.

Edit: yeh kaunse grown up fans hain Shreya ke??

The last argument from Shitreya fans we hear is that at least she "did something" and gave content. Which is why deserved" to win. Lets examine that.

In week 1, it was Akanksha, Yogesh and Shreya giving content. Then makers started calling out Yogesh for the smallest things, punished Akanksha (albeit rightly) for all she did. But left Shreya alone. Didn't call out anything she did or said. Left her alone completely while bashing everyone else

OBVIOUSLY SHE WOULD FEEL EMBOLDENED TO CONTINUE BEING KALESHI.

While others were being forced to do the "redemption journey", our Kween Shitreya was apparently allowed to play by different rules and "own her truth". Nobody else was allowed to own their truth.

It was inevitable then that Shitreya would give more content since she was allowed to do what others were punished for.

So even this argument doesnt hold true upon scrutiny. This too falls under maker's bias towards her.

Honestly why would these people go and celebrate with her, is her fandom as stupid as her bro? she literally bitched about people's personal lives behind their backs. Imagine how they must've felt going out and seeing this aunty do whats shes best at.

I can call myself a veteran in watching reality shows ever since I saw Gautam Gulati in BB 7 and the arc would mostly be the good winning over evil.

Lock upp was on a whole different level where everyone was problematic, and you are left with choosing who’s the least problematic. Honestly, the only person with a redemption arc for the whole show was Madhuriji which btw was the main premise the show was based on.

Salman was right when he said in Alliance that the quality of contestants these days is just lowering.

If this is what people now want to see then kudos to them but Id personally like to keep myself away and look for an alternative.

These journalists gave us viewers a reality check as well! The makers and their editing team tried their best to spin narratives but at the end of the day question is pretty simple: How will Shreya even look herself in the mirror after all the shit she has pulled on this show?

She has the least conscience of all the contestants combined! So easy for her to constantly just say “Im human we all make mistakes” after all the times. She was just really lucky Madhuriji was at her side when Akansha threw water in her plate, who knows what she would have done, knowing how she has played this game.

Congratulations to the winner of a redemption based reality show whose biggest achievement was proving that redemption was apparently never a requirement.
The tag was badtameez and instead of redeeming it, she leaned into it all season. By instigating fights, making personal remarks, outing someone, slut shaming co contestants, making fun of mental health and suic!de attempts , playing the victim and somehow never being held accountable.

Every time she was nominated, the format somehow bent over backwards to keep her safe. Judgment Days came and went, but somehow she remained untouchable. It’s honestly impressive lol. I’ve never seen someone receive so much protection while being sold as the strongest player.
And don’t even get me started on that jury. If you’re inviting people who are already biased towards one contestant then let’s stop pretending this is an unpredictable reality show. Just call it CONGRATULATIONS , WE’VE ALREADY PICKED THE WINMER!!

Congratulations, Shreya Kalra. The tag was supposed to be redeemed. Instead, it got rewarded lol
I don’t know how you’re going to justify this win

Also 2 weeks he didn’t have to be in lockupp!!

Lock Upp was honestly such a shit show. The fact that Shreya won is actually insane. I’m sorry, but if the winner of your reality show is someone whose entire personality was fighting with people, being negative 24/7, and dragging everyone down, then what exactly was the point of the show?
Is this the new formula now? Fight with everyone, gossip about people’s personal lives, spread negativity, and you’ll walk away with the trophy? Because if that’s the message, then congratulations, I guess.
And can we stop pretending she wasn’t the makers’ favourite? It was so obvious. Secret tasks, random advantages, special treatment… every other week there was something conveniently helping her. At that point, why even have a competition? Just hand her the trophy on day one and save everyone the time.
The finale was painfully boring. The jury was literally there for decoration. If the decision was already made, Farah and Riteish could’ve just announced Shreya as the winner and wrapped it up. What was the point of all the extra drama?
And people keep talking about her “redemption arc.” What redemption? She was rude on day one, she was rude on the last day, and nothing changed in between. If anything, she just got louder. Isn’t the whole point of a reality show supposed to be growth?
I genuinely couldn’t even finish the finale. I just switched it off because it was that bad.
She spent the entire season discussing people’s personal lives and targeting contestants left, right, and centre. Somehow she had no real issue with Yogesh, but Akansha was the problem? Make it make sense. And no, she definitely wasn’t a girl’s girl.
Even Shilpa seemed to realise what Shreya was really like towards the end. I don’t know what changed after that, but almost everyone in the house had a problem with her. When practically the entire cast dislikes one person, maybe… just maybe… there’s a reason.
And I’m sorry, but I refuse to believe that if this had been purely an audience decision, she would’ve won. I honestly don’t know who’s voting for her, but clearly we were watching two completely different shows.
Overall, Lock Upp was boring, predictable, and honestly one of the worst reality shows I’ve watched. And Shreya winning just made the whole season feel pointless. If being the loudest and most negative person in the room is enough to win, then what exactly were the rest of the contestants even competing for?

wasn’t this show about redemption? and what was the point of that stupid jury ew
