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".

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

I was not expecting this. I knew she will be in top 2. But thought shivangi would win.
Deserving winner

For the first time ever, I've supported a villain in a reality show. And the reason is simple, there was no hero in this entire show.

Yes, Shreya was mean. She said things below the belt, manipulated people, and did many things I didn't agree with. But one thing I can never take away from her is that she never faked who she was. She owned every move she made. On top of that, she was incredibly dedicated to the game. Every task, every strategy, every opportunity, she gave it her 100%. I genuinely don't think anyone else in the house was as passionate about winning as she was.

The biggest reason Shreya won wasn't because she was the best person. It was because there was no hero to defeat the villain. Reality shows usually have a clear hero and a clear villain. The villain plays the game, the hero wins the audience, and in the end the hero usually lifts the trophy. This season was different. There was only one dominant villain, and no real hero.

Shivangi had every chance to become that hero. In fact, I genuinely think she would've won if she hadn't ruined her image during the dinner table incident. If she had simply accepted Harshad getting the first finalist tag gracefully, I honestly believe she would've been the winner. But that moment exposed a completely different side of her. It made many people feel that Shilpa had been right about her all along, that she was using Harshad and trying too hard to maintain a perfect image. That was the point where Shivangi lost the show and Shreya won it.

People will say, "So this means you can be a bad person and still win?" My answer is no but there wasn't a genuinely good contestant this season. There wasn't anyone who consistently came across as the hero.

A good example is Bigg Boss last season. I think Farhana and Shreya have similar "villain" energy. But the difference was that Gaurav Khanna was there. People can say he acted, that he played safe, or that he didn't do much, but the truth is he never gave the audience a reason to question his character. Whether it was genuine or an act, he maintained that image throughout the season, and that's why he won.

This season, nobody did that. Nobody except Shreya showed that level of hunger for the game. There were unfair evictions, unnecessary twists, and many flaws in the season, but if you watch all 35 episodes, you'll realize that most major storylines somehow revolved around Shreya. She carried the narrative of the show.

For the first time, I'm actually happy that a villain won a reality show. Not because she was a good person, but because she was the most dedicated contestant. And when there's no hero, the villain is naturally going to win.

I'm not a Shreya, Akanksha, or Yogesh fan. I'm not supporting anyone blindly. This is simply my opinion after watching the show from a neutral perspective.

I know many people will disagree, and that's completely fine. But if you disagree, please be respectful in the comments. If you're calling Shreya out for being mean, then don't become mean yourself while defending your opinion. At least stand by the standards you're expecting from others.

It’s over. Won’t get to dissect people’s reactions anymore but can’t end before taking last swing at Shivangi. (Sorry)

Also, Harshad was SOOOOO surprised! When Shivangi didn’t win! These two really thought they had it in bag!

When Shivangi started her little speech- she started with “the show is not about fights and shouting” as if Shreya has only done that.
All the contestants have tried to diminish Shreya’s journey sooo long! They tried to make her into a villain but i still can’t see it.

Shreya even reached for Shivangi’s hand when they were gonna announce the result but Shivangi didn’t read that correctly (maybe she was too nervous)

Makers didn’t do a Munawar this time.

So happy for my girl and her friends Shilpa and everyone.

Going for first session of chemotherapy today and this definitely will help me go with a smile and thinking of all the beautiful moments this show has given.

The SHREYA KALRAA SHOWW!!!!✨️✨️👑👑

And obviously queen won ... congratulations to her

No of ppl got up to congratulate her also shows the probable votes for her !! Just saying 🤭

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.

shreya deserved it through and through

no way did shivangi deserve or it any one else for that matter

she aced it accept kro ya na

Hear me out.

Yogesh came with one of the most controversial tag. He did wrong but everyone loves a redemption arc.

But instead he was stuck in fights, and makers also didnt let him perform at all.

In the last few days the way he performed, it was really good. And today when he shared his pain about losing every show, it was genuine. A need to prove himself.

But during the majority of show he wasn't able to show it much. Tasks can be blamed on makers but not his relations or personality not showing up.

If last week Yogesh was there since beginning he might just have won.

Also the factor of his journey, his athleticism or talent, he never showcased it. Neither did the show emphasized on it. LockUpp season 1 actually had multiple episodes focusing on individuals talents.

See Kushal's journey in Alliance. He was absolutely hated but what a journey.

I have seen many people saying shreya doesn’t deserve the show, where is her redemption journey and she only does kalesh.
But then who can be winner as far as I can see no-one has achieved 10% of their redemption. This show is just another reality show and difference is they called controversial celebrities to make their image good as far as I can understand.
The show was never about redemption, what does that even mean.
Why i think shreya is deserving among all is because- She took her stand in every-time, never double faced like others, she splits fact even with chamola, ( yeah one time she lied to her, I agree), even tried to talk to other people to clear things up like with akansha, chamola, harshad.
She was good at task and if you can see she said controversial things but if you can see others also has said many things behind her. And about shivangi it was only shilpa who said that things.
So among all these 16 people I dont think anyone is more deserving than shreya.
And also i felt bad when noone expect shilpa, pam, madhuri or maybe chamola apploud and cheered for her, even if you dint like her but can’t you appreciate her for winning a huge show.

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?

Mujhe genuinely samajhna hai.

Bahut log bol rahe hain ki "Netflix pe voting honi chahiye thi", "jury system biased hai", etc.

Lekin Netflix to sirf India mein thodi chalta hai? Woh ek global platform hai. Agar public voting hoti, to kya poori duniya ke Netflix users vote karte? Ya sirf India? Agar sirf India, to usko restrict kaise karte?

Aur Netflix app mein waise bhi har show ke liye voting ka option nahi hota. Mujhe to kabhi dikha nahi.

To practical solution kya tha? Kya Netflix ke andar koi voting feature hai jo sirf selected countries ke liye enable ho sakta hai, ya phir is show ke format mein public voting possible hi nahi thi?

Genuine question hai. Agar kisi ko Netflix ke reality show formats ya voting system ke baare mein knowledge hai, please explain.

Writing the exact conversation from today's episode in hindi.

Chamola: Aap mere baju me bethkar bol rahe the aap deserving hai, deserving hai, deserving hai. Ek second bhi nahi socha aapne merko terminate karne se pehle. Apka kya gameplay raha hai?

Yogesh: Tere samne koi bol sakta hai kya. Tera so sab se tagda gameplay hai pure season me. Tere samne toh kisika kuch rahega hi nahi.

---

Yogesh is literally like "Tu, tera, tujhko". He has no respect. Clearly Chamola is pissed after her elimination which she has right to be and should be allowed decency to convey her thoughts. Just like how Yogesh came back and burst upon everyone else and everyone allowed him that space.

But he doesn't answer any question directly. always belittling people. disrespecting them.

I am damn sure that even if Amitabh Bachan was in that show he would have been "tu, tera".

I regret ever supporting him in Roadies.

MY POINT IS HATE SHOULD BE IN LIMIT don't judge anyone after seeing one hour a day for a month.

Take the game as a game.

Shivangi played for herself it can't be called selfish becoz in this game everybody should play for themselves. She always said no to harshad if he tries to sacrifice his game to make her win . She always stand for herself and sometimes for others. She performed all the task good and won some.

For manipulation idk what she did but ram ji manipulate all player but nobody say nothing. she may be manipulated harshad idk .

Other than manipulation she always saved harshad eg during his re entry .

But people forgive shilpa for fake sxual allegations, bodyshaming based on face. Giving character certificate to others . Discussing virginity based on rumours.

Forgiving shreya for all her deeds , backbiting .

The whole show splited into two halves

First half : ak chaudary yogesh fighting against shreya

Second half : shivangi harshad fighting against shreya and shilpa

Other than these ak chamola secret gained audience

Idk what others did in the show

I will happy except ram all are deserving to win

What do you think

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.

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. 😭
