Reality shows are often surrounded by drama, but Lock Upp 2 has had its share of controversy too even once the latest season ended, and honestly, it didn’t cool down as expected. Social media influencer and podcaster Shreya Kalra walked away as the winner and lifted the trophy, yet soon after, her win started sparking debate online.

And as the backlash kept growing across social media, host Farah Khan, alongside Shreya, jumped in; they addressed the allegations and defended the show’s fairness.

During a rather candid Q&A session on social media, Shreya Kalra directly addressed the criticism around her Lock Upp 2 win. A fan said she did not deserve the victory and that the whole show was biased.
Shreya didn’t dodge the question, though; instead, she highlighted that earlier nobody really brought up fairness when the show had re-entries, secret rooms and a few other twisty moments. She basically felt that raising questions about the show’s fairness only after the finale and after her win just didn’t add up.

She told critics, “Aap bataiye main nahi to kaun?” and kind of pointed them to what actually happened within the show, not just the outside talk. Shreya brought up contestant re-entries, secret room twists and even moments where some advantages were taken away from her aur fir kisi aur ko de diye gaye. She also wondered why viewers didn’t call the show biased in those particular moments at the same time. She finished it all with a full-on “Mic drop ho chuka hai doston,” so yeah, her stance was totally clear.

Before Shreya defended herself, host Farah Khan had also kind of been hit with criticism over rumors like that she and co-host Riteish Deshmukh were giving an edge to contestants they knew, like Ram Kapoor and Ssunita Ahuja. Farah denied all those claims and said they never attempted to shield their friends on the show. But she also mentioned they were usually the first ones to call it out when their friends were wrong, even if that kind of honesty can feel awkward and emotionally hard in the moment or after.
