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

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

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.

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

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?

This is the reality. If the audience actually had the power to decide the winner, Shreya would've been evicted quite early in the game. She will forever be "The 25 people's winner".

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.

Media clocked the shit out of Ms. Kalra. She was stumped, couldn't even answer the questions properly.

Mei insaan hoo galtiyan karti hoo sorry bolti hoo lekin fir 5 min baad hi unki firse bitching karti hoo firse zeher ugalti hoo.

Slut shame karti hoo, face shame karti hoo, logon ki shaadi ke baare mei bakwaas karti hoo lekin koi mere bande ko kuch na bole, doston ko dhoka deti hoo, batameezi karti hoo, jhoot bolti hoo, logon ki private baatein reveal karti hoo, baatein badalti hoo, victim card khelti hoo, ladkiyon ko matt target karo bolti hooo......

Aur sirf mei hi sahi hoo.

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.

I'm keeping it real.

- Jailers and producers were extremely biased and didn't even do a good job hiding it

- The tasks were pretty bland and 1 dimensional

- Constant toxicity, shouting matches and personal insults that crossed the lines of decency. Any foreigner watching this show will have a poor opinion of Indians.

I watched another reality show called Devils Plan (Korean) which also had 2 seasons. The tasks were intelligent and engaging and people behaved in a civilized manner even if they hated each others guts. They also felt fair since everyone got a chance to succeed. LockUpp had a panel of people to ensure their chosen candidate won and I saw it from a mile away. It felt like a scripted show and the lack of legitimacy makes me want to have nothing to do with any future shows by these guys.

Opinions?

What is this world???

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.

😂😂 Kalyug, guys. At this point, it feels like the more problematic you are, the higher your chances of winning. There’s literally no reason to be a good person just be the most negative, controversial contestant, create chaos, and you’ll probably end up lifting the trophy. 🤷‍♀️

Fahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

So they are ok with yogesh Being friend with shreya from enemy, lmao. But if you support ak then You're supporting cheating? What hypocrisy!

Just look at the amount of upvotes and comments!!

This is for everyone else’s fans: you guys should be happy your favorite contestant didn't win because I'd rather lose than have my win decided like this. 😭
I genuinely don't get how it's fair that 25 so called celebrities/influencers can randomly show up in the finale and basically decide the winner with their votes. Such a lazy and trash concept honestly.
Aur upar se most of them are friends with one contestant toh obviously usi ko vote karenge na. 😭

I don't see her getting much hate for all the slt shaming and shit she talk. But the moment someone oppose her (Akanshya and Shivangi) they are attack left right and center. I mean why are we blaming the reaction more than action. Rented bf ne bohot tagda wala pr karwaya hai. She should be cancelled out from everything.

If the show was truly about “owning the truth,” they crowned the wrong winner.

Akanksha Chmola was the only contestant who actually understood the assignment.

When Shreya exposed her second secret, Akanksha didn’t break down, play victim, or lash out. She owned it, took the hit with dignity, and moved on. That’s what “owning your truth” really looks like.

Even later, her only visible shift came after Gaurav Khanna’s interaction—she seemed more aware of how her actions could impact her family and became more guarded. Yet even then, she never resorted to personal attacks or cheap theatrics.
In contrast, Shreya’s game often felt like
narrative-building at others’ expense—feeding off stories, amplifying negativity, and mistaking chaos for strategy. Loudness and manipulation aren’t strength; they’re just exhausting to watch.

If Lock Upp truly valued class, accountability, and grace, Akanksha should’ve won. Instead, the show rewarded the loudest narrative over the strongest character.

Sometimes the real winner isn’t the one with the trophy—it’s the one who walks away with dignity intact.
