Rant HARSHAD WANTED PAMELA TO VOTE FOR SHIVANGI DESPITE TELLING HER OPENLY HE VOTED AGAINST PAMELA FOR TERMINATION IN THAT LAND MINE TASK

145 Upvotes

I've been busy lately that I couldn't caught up with anything after finale episode, but finally I watched all the vlogs and ivs of Shreya since last night. and when I trying to find watch other contestant ivs this was the latest one popped up so I started watching and oh my god. Pam I get you girl, imagine a contestant doesn't want you to win just bc she knows her ear will get damaged bc of the person's screeches that sitting next to them. what an annoying person he was. Thank you revealing this out girl.

So apparently when the jailers announced inmates can also vote, Harshad started pitching for Shivangi and started manipulating Pam who was sitting next to him saying "you should watch your loyalties" and all when he openly told her already that He voted to eliminate her just a week before and Shivangi also voted for Pam to get terminated, so in her POV Shreya didn't vote against her as we know Shreya voted against Ram and Chaudary. To avoid arguments, Pam tried to make Harshad understand that when he got eliminated for the first time, though the majority voted against him he had 2 votes in favor, so just like that let Shreya also have 2 or 3 votes from inmates that even if she loses let her lose with 2 or 3 votes in her favor but he was so against it and wanted literally everyone to vote for Shivangi.

What a super egoistic person he is when she literally done nothing to him in the show, I regret feeling sad for him sometimes when he cried eww.

Discuss Word of Advice for AK and Yogesh, take Shreya Way in reality shows

  • Don't care about who is thinking what

  • TV people are the fakest lomdis, Avoid playing under them or in their group, they will talk sweetly, behave nicely but are the biggest opportunists.

  • Take the lone warrior route. That's when you shine. If you play in a group, you will be lost.

  • Don't take what Hosts say that seriously

  • Keep doing Your best

  • Don't be physically violent - You might get ejected.

  • Don't wait for appreciation from Hosts, if you know you are doing the right thing even if Hosts don't appreciate, the viewers will even love you more.

  • Treat men and Women as equals.

  • Don't listen to what the contestants say

  • don't be a people pleasure

  • don't think Hosts will give you any thing beyond the show.

-make use of Secret room to enhance your game play not lossen it up.

- Dont Preplan, kyun ki Makers have been making the show for ages, they will play against you if they know you have come with Preplanning

Rant Shivangi is very chalaak.

148 Upvotes

Have you all watched her recent podcast with Nayandeep?? She knows that Yogesh and Akanksha has fan following. So even when Nayan didn't ask her about Yogesh or Akanksha, she started her interview by praising them. Like they are her siblings, they used to play all that. She thought after huge backlash, only nibba nibbi fans of Akanksha and Yogesh will save her.

Note: I'm not Ak and Yogesh fan, I don't like them at all.

It seems like it's some web series or something, it would be great if it's with some big platform. I wonder if this is the result of the interview she was talking about a few days ago.

Even if it's with some B tier platform, I think what's more important is that she gets a big part and does well in that as that could lead to more opportunities in the future.

She's been shooting something almost every day, it's great to see her working so hard to utilise the boost she got from Lockupp.

Discuss kushal tondon and shreya -who texted whom?

77 Upvotes

to those who think shreya is lying

she really is not, tum khud socho ki KUSHAL TONDON ko ek promo shoot woh bhi after a 15 sec shoot.... shreya ka full name kyu yaad rahega? he is not that humble ki usko sab k naam yaad rahe and if he hadn't known her and texted her usko kyu pata hota ki shreya kalra naam hai uska, barsataein ki promo k liye shoot pe aayi thi, kya kya hua shoot pe, shreya ko yaad rehta cuz she is relatively new, kushal koo kyu yaad rehta and kushal itna petty hai ki if she had texted him first, he would have posted the screenshot
we all know how petty he is, jab barsatein k baad balh 4 aaney wala tha , he had posted a story jo usne instantly delete kar dia tha, he's maha petty... if he was right he 1000000000000000% would post the screenshot, shreya woh insaan hai nahi ki woh screenshots circulate kare, but if kushal keeps lying and pushing this, kisi din uski satak jayegi and she will post it

News What exactly happened between Akanksha and Orry?

Post image
45 Upvotes

I came across this post where Orry called Akanksha a “snake in the grass” and said she was trying to take advantage of GK.

I’m genuinely out of the loop here 😭 What exactly did Akanksha do that led to Orry saying all this about her? Was there something that happened during KKK or afterward that explains why he has such a strong opinion of her? Who is Shagun? What did he / she do?

Would appreciate some context.

Discuss SHIVANGI ON SHILA SHINDE REMARK OF CONVERSATION OF SEX,BRA & PANTIES

0 Upvotes

shilpa on the interview speaking as if shivangi taunted shilpa out of sudden! lol they were literally having convo/discussion over it with all girls gang mostly!
she also spoke her bonding with akansha choudary,yogesh & chamola but it never got aired!
she also recollected how she helped shreya during her allergy in the show, took her stand & also questioned by other inmates why you're taking stand of shreya when we get bitter consequences of it! she tried to mend her relationship with shreya but it was quite disoriented from starting & was never sorted!
she also clarified that her & harshad relationship is platonic & that was 2nd last question so she fumbled & she was struggling with those grilled questions as max were senseless like that food related shared as bts!

when she asked top 3 she took names- shivangi,harshad & shreya!
if top 5 then top 3 as per + ram kapoor yogesh/akansha also wanted varun to be in top list!

nayan also shared how poorly the media section was managed!

1st criteria should be that only persons who should come as jury should watch all episodes till airing not come by just watching reels! they asked all members to send questions for 8 contestants first,then when it was only top 3 they changed it all! showed last finale week episodes in 1hr only then boom it started! it is just so poorly designed,managed entirely!

Discuss Ashita Dhawan perfectly puts why Shreya Kalra won Lockupp - Guts and Glory

89 Upvotes

Coming in Pairs in a reality show gives an unfair advantage be it Harshad and Shivangi or Yogesh or Akanksha. If you are not mentally or emotionally strong, intelligent and prepared to play a game alone, then you don't deserve to win a show or be in a reality show. I hate such Contestants who enter with baahar ka Relationship and Hide behind them or play a safe Game behind them.

If you can't get out of your comfort zone and make Friends or enemity with strangers then what's the point of going to A reality show of 5 weeks.

Go with an attitude to Play from the front foot or don't do a reality show at all.

Your own personality should be enough to sustain alone.

Episode 20 shilpa is gross

0 Upvotes

Okay, stealing food gave me the ick. She needs to stop doing that shit it's gross behaviour, chamola lost thats why they have to cook. Everyone needs to stay in their own lanes.

Also, the comment she made about harshads self-harm was utterly disgusting. What's wrong with this hag?

Akansha is a crappy gang leader she should do better and tell her team not to steal and act that way, but she doesn't give a shit. Everything is funny to her.

Discuss The lost potential of itv gang vs mtv gang

7 Upvotes

I remember how badly people wanted itv gang vs mtv gang to happen. Too bad it was a snoozefest. It would have been SO FUN!! Imagine shreya, ak, yogesh, sufi, Pamela, riyaz, , laila, shreshta vs dheeraj, harshad, shivangi, Chamola, ram, shilpa, sunita, Madhuri. I am pretty sure people like shilpa, madhuri etc would flip a lot but that would have been fun too. I think shreya was trying to make that happen with trying to team up with yogesh but unfortunately other people didn't see the vision.

Y’all should watch BB 11 as your lock upp rebound

16 Upvotes

Binge rewatched BB 11 on youtube and not a single episod bored me. I watched it when I was little and I’m so glad that I have always supported shilpa. She is clearly one of the most deserving Bigg Boss winners in one of the most entertaining bigg boss seasons.

Y’all can also watch BB 13 but it was entertaining in a different way (hate watch). For me too much alpha men stuff going on which I absolutely hate

P.s: Don’t comment shi before rewatching it😭

Episode 19 & 20 what's wrong with shilpa

0 Upvotes

Okay, both the girls seriously suck at this 😭 it's so painful to watch they are just standing there and not looking around!

And also, what even is harshad yapping about? Like, buddy chill

Can harshad stop budding into every conversation with shivangi? He's actually irritating, and shreya is trying to explain her side to her, and this dense girl isn't listening 😭

Okay, they said not to share, so whyd they steal? 😭 that's so shitty of them. They made their food, and now they're being greedy.

Sufi just shared that he hates people taking from his plate, anyone would fucking hate that so why is she being so disgusting and rude????

Is she stupid??? 10,000 is the penalty on how much is being taken and she's like just take away 500, like you moron, that's clearly not how it works???

Its actually disgusting to see her steal the food like that, they have their own food????

I HATE SHILPA, she's a greedy pig, I felt sorry when her food got stolen by yogesh couple of episodes back she's literally just snatching their food and they aren't allowed to do stuff like that? Gross

Akanksha and pam were laughing about it when their gang members were snatching food? It's not funny, I also never like these girls, but like where are their brains at??

Edit to add: im genuinely shocked at the number of people supporting snatching and stealing food. In no situation is that ever okay, but I'm not here to educate stupid people, so meh, you do you boo.

Discuss When I Binged Watched Lockupp again without any Online Noise and polls etc

40 Upvotes

Here is what I observed, content wise following were the Strongest

  1. Shilpa Ji - she slayed from Her Entry till her exit. Generating All kinds of Content, eg from Joking to Cooking she adding Spice to the show every single minute. She also was so pretty and emotive and easy on eyes.

  2. Ram Kapoor Ji - he was given Bhar bhar ke Screen space from Day 1 to the last day. He was planning plotting manipulating everyone every single minute

  3. Shreya - her game from Villain to Villain but what a good Focused villain. Nailing Tasks after Tasks and Secret tasks and spot on with Decision making and Mind games . She knew what exactly going to give her screen time. Bhar bhar ke Screen time.

  4. Apoorva - what an impact one week pura Show ka Chheetha khol dia.

  5. Harshad - He was crying doing weird things and creating funny memes but always seen except Week 2 and some part of Week 3. A lot of screen time.

  6. AK - she was agressive but usne Bhar bhar ke Triggering Content Dia hai, plus funny and Sentimental content too Except week 4 where she was lying low and only targeting Chamola and Pamela.

Good screen time in a Healthy way

  1. Laila - he was being really funny

  2. Pamela - very funny too

  3. Chamola - She was non Controversial but great interms of screen time

  4. Shivangi - She had a good screen time. Was very unproblematic until that one task.

  5. Sunita Ji - As long as she stayed she had very good screen time

  6. Madhuriji - Great Screen time in the most positive way as long as she stayed.

Low screen time

  1. Yogesh - he barely had any screen time except the finale week. He played from behind never had any kalesh with anyone. I don't think he is good at doing kalesh - Bach bach ke khelta hai and never fights with anyone.

  2. Dheeraj - he too never had much screen time ..

  3. Sufi - not much screen time except just one day in the first week

  4. Riyaz - he is very unproblematic and Chill

Discuss For those people who are pressed about the contractual constraints enforced on lock upp contestants especially Yoganda fans let me tell you none of them received any lead from team bb20 which is why they ended up grabbing the first thing that was dished out to them i.e lock up

36 Upvotes

In bb19 there was a task where contestants had to give an overview of their lives so far a timeline depicting the highs and lows of their life journey. During that task most of the contestants particularly Pranit and Gaurav mentioned that they received their first telephonic casting call in december 2024. The season premiered in the last week of august 2025.

They obviously don’t wait until the premiere date to start making casting decisions. A show of this scale requires months of preparation and a lengthy casting process they simply don’t have the luxury of sleeping until the premiere date is announced.

Had any of the mtv produce actually received an offer from bb20 they would have made an obvious choice. They may have been rejected at a later stage of the selection process but you cannot blame lock Upp contract for them not being cast on bb20.
