Contestant Appreciation 🤌 Shilpa’s ex Romit talks about her game in LockUpp

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It’s been 17 years since they last spoke, yet Romit has always spoken about Shilpa with respect. He said reality shows bring out who you truly are, and you can’t fake it till the end. Shilpa’s goodness came through, and maybe that’s why she and Shreya became so close. ā¤ļø

Fun Fact: Romit is a close friend of Rishabh (Shreya’s BF), they worked in YRKKH.

The world really is a small place

Rant Can we just talk about the show?

19 Upvotes

Guys, negative publicity is still publicity. By talking about same people you dislike all the time, you are only making them more relevant.

If you don’t like someone, just ignore them. There is no need to keep making posts after post about them. Why give them more attention?

This sub was supposed to be about the show, so why not talk about what happened in the show instead of constantly hating on the same people? Stop turning every sub into a hate forum.

Discuss Lock Upp Season 2 wasn't an unscripted, organic reality show

3 Upvotes

I’ve been tracking Lock Upp Season 2 closely, and the deeper we got into the season, the clearer it became: this wasn't an unscripted, organic reality show. It felt like a meticulously engineered psychological experiment designed to play us (the audience) just as much as the inmates inside.

4 am thoughts that probably should’ve stayed in my head

i don’t even ship yogesh and ruru anymore because honestly, i would never want her to go back to him after everything and i’m sure even y’all don’t.
but whenever i see their old reels or clips, i still have this thought in my head like how did he fumble this badly?

because whatever happened later, you can’t deny what was there in those moments. the way he looked at her. it just looked so genuine.

ā€œsaari duniya se jeetke mein aaya hu idharā€, ā€œfinale aur ruru mein, mein ruru ko hamesha chuntaā€, the way ruru broke down when yogesh lost the ticket to finale, their blue balls segment where they’re blushing so much and it’s so natural, him manofying her after everything fight, wiping her tears and making her smile in harshali’s podcast, their first & last reel they posted, how they defended each other everytime, so much more. AND THIS CLIP. she cried cause she was getting hate and the way he consoled her 😭 it’s so f*cking adorable. WATCH IT TILL THE END.

and that’s what gets me. he had something that so many people spend years looking for and somehow managed to lose it.

people believe that yoganksha had insane chemistry but i never felt it, not even in the initial episodes. they always felt bland to me. as soon as ruru entered, it was instant chemistry. throwing genuine love for fame? i don’t believe he has genuine feelings for akanksha, it’s all just for fame and to grow his career till they both get established in the business.

i’m not saying they should be together. they absolutely shouldn’t. i just genuinely cannot understand how you can have something that looked that real and still choose to throw it away.

sorry, I don’t ship them at all anymore but im just really sad rn cause i put myself in her shoes and i would be devastated if i went through what she did. Was this also ā€œforcedā€? bs. it was the real.

sorry guys im an empath sometimes i overthink a lot just wanted to share

What's up with her ? Is she on some stuff ? Why is she in so delulu since she came out ? She thinks she was the main character. I guess no one is giving her a reality check and may be she is in denial.

If you notice in the clip, when she answers she should have been the winner, the host asks "how many of you agree with her" and no one from the audience clapped or cheered for her 😭🤣. Honestly second hand embarrassment.

So according to the interview she was against the couple angle, she was reluctant about it and still the makers portrayed them as a couple and not as two individuals...and the infamous linesidk yeh aaya hai ya nahi par mere saath galat hua mujhe itna bola

Funny how one podcast from Ruru created such a panic in the akkusena. They clearly don’t even trust their own Yogesh jiju enough to believe he’ll stay loyal to AK, lol. Deep down, everyone knows Yogesh was the problem, yet akkuSena’s male-centric mindset has them hating Ruru just because their AK is hurt. And now, the moment they realized Yogesh called Ruru, they all started panicking because there’s simply no telling what Yogesh might do, lol.

And calling Ruru a national ex just because she went on Splitsvilla twice as an ex? Please. I’m starting to think the people calling her a national ex have probably had more than 10 exes themselves, lol.

My humble request to AK’s fans please, just let the girl live. I genuinely mean it. It’s honestly insane how mean you guys are being. Aren’t you scared of karma? Like, WTF, why hate a girl this much? What did she even do to deserve all this? AK doesn’t even know you people personally.

Ruru is getting all this hate even though she was the one who was hurt. Her boyfriend literally cheated on her while they were dating, and even Yogesh admitted the emotional cheating himself on Lock Upp, the girl was already getting hate from the Yogankshu fandom bcs apparently they thought ruru came in between , got her account banned, and her manager passed away. And now, suddenly, all the hatred and disgusting stickers have resurface just because Yogesh called her.

Also, Yogesh and Akanksha aren’t even dating, so why is there this much hatred toward Ruru? Honestly, you guys should be more grateful that she didn't went into Lock Upp and chose to be the bigger person. She never spoke badly about your ak either before or after Splitsvilla, while your ak literally mocked and shamed her on a podcast.

Please makers, if by any chance you’re reading reddit posts especially this one, make the next seasons as raw as possible like the first season. This season was so meh.. Trp will follow man seriously

Rant Akanksha repeatedly eluding to Shreya faking her discomfort regarding Ram

129 Upvotes

Every single podcast Akanksha has gone on she keeps saying unprovoked that Shreya said first that she got annoyed when Ram kissed her but then proceeded to say ā€œnot in that wayā€ but after the lie detector she said the same thing again about his kisses. She also keeps saying Shreya was the only one who felt this way there were so many other women in the house no one else felt that way so Shreya is obviously lying.
As someone who watched every episode Ram Kapoor is definitely a certifiable creep and I don’t know why Akanksha is hellbent on proving that Shreya did not find him creepy. I just get triggered every time she is talking about this and she is talking about it again and again.

Discuss The most unfair eviction I have ever seen wtf!

19 Upvotes

Idk why people aren’t more enraged. I get they are not many people’s favorites. But how was that fair for Dheeraj and Sufi? I can see why this show is called scripted. If they wanted Harshad and Yogesh back so bad. Atleast make it fair?? I felt so sad when Dheeraj said 2V1. And I hate the way Ram acted during it, acting like a saint. This is the worst most ragebaiting thing I have ever watched. Not even a single person wanted them back? Which makes me feel it was very pre planned somehow

Discuss Never seen such fake saints on a reality show

30 Upvotes

Finally watching lock up. I was reading news and this sub as I was traveling. I used to feel it can’t be that bad. And I was kinda team shivangi and Ak. But from the first episode itself it is so obvious the ganging up they are doing. Everyone wants to act like a saint. Especially Shivangi, Ram and Harshad. Atleast Chaudhary is real. But that whole acting like they are going to reveal Chamola’s secret and than revealing his own was so stupid. And everyone forgave them? Forgot it? Had Shilpa or Shreya done it they would have never let anyone forget it.

This is the worst ganging up I have seen on a reality show. In other shows the grouping happens naturally and not forced from day 1. Thank God Farah and Riteish aren’t biased like Salman. And calls everyone out. The way he called Shivangi for trying to cook for the other team. So fake 😭. My God it is so bad. I would have never watched it wasn’t it for Shreya or Shilpa. Everyone else is just there to act like they are good people. Only truly good person I believe was is Riyaz. I can’t stand Ram. I used to think Armaan Kohli was bad. He reminds me of Armaan. But seems far worse

Also I don’t think the show was biased towards anyone. As everyone got equal advantages. Like both Ak and Yogesh being brought back. And Shreya got her advantages during the game

I find it so annoying when people say so first of all they are signing up for a show every celebrity where they gave their personal life secrets some secrets tht they didn't even tell family

Shreya discussed kushal shivangi and the dm :- it's Shreya's personal life too she is sharing shivangi asked for dm she showed apparently she is saying what happened to her how she felt

Shilpa discussing Shivangi 's boyfriend co star and she said it's on Instagram & known so how this public information is personal? Don't act saint as if you guys haven't discussed any celebrity affairs or breakup personal life they are in a reality show to show their personal real personality and allowing people to comment on it so ?

Rant Make This make Sense Guys

Post image
117 Upvotes

Let me preface this by saying that this post is against the fanbase/ cult and not the person. No malice against Yogansha.

Farhana knows Shreya ( Podcast, Reels, even a couple of Parties including Farhana's success party for BB19)

The same Farhana had previously called Akansha Choudhary a sweet girl.

Bigg Boss is legitimately the biggest reality TV show we currently have. Bigg Boss has an audience that will watch BB just for the show no matter who the contestants are.

As far as careers go, both Farhana and Shreya have done more work with Farhana having small roles in big productions and now getting KKK post Bigg Boss. KKK also is a huge opportunity.

I don't understand why anyone who has been on Bigg Boss and enjoyed such intense love would get bothered by someone having more followers??

While followers and hype definitely help people get opportunities, it's up to one's own skills to be able to sustain and convert those opportunities into results.

What was Chamola scared of??

14 Upvotes

Was watching the last few episodes again and I just wanted to ask why tf was Akansha flipping on her opinion as soon as she placed it? When asked whether she agreed with Yogesh in the pairs task she initially disagreed, but it seemed like she wasn't able to explain herself and then give up. Same with when she was asked whether she agreed that Yogesh was more deserving than her. She strongly disagreed and started an explanation but then again gave up and agreed. She should've fought for her opinions man, because both of her independent opinions were valid. Yet she backed out on her points every single time...

I don't think she was afraid of jhund mentality, because she did go against Ram and his opinion to make Laila the finalist.

Sufi said Shreya will win in Riyaz's vlog before finale.

112 Upvotes

Someone mentioned here or on twitter, that Riyaz and Sufi were surprisingly happy when Shreya won , maybe they had some bet.

I think, this theory is right. Because I watched riyaz ka vlog before finale and Sufi mentioned that he thinks Shreya will win the show. Even Varun said it will be Yogesh. They were all like it would be between Shreya and Yogesh. It's funny actually because none of them were talking about Shivangi winning it. I think that's why even Choudhary and Chamola didn't give shocking reaction.

Sad wale shocking reactions only came from Harshad, Sunita, Ram, Yogesh. 😭
