The excitement around the Lock Upp Season 2 grand finale really has hit that high point now; fans are waiting, like really waiting, to find out who will take home the coveted trophy after all those weeks of drama, hard tasks and emotional scenes inside the house. As the show is getting closer to the final announcement, social media is basically going wild with chatter and fan battles, especially when it comes to people backing Shreya Kalra vs. Shivangi Joshi. With the guessing still running strong, producer Ektaa Kapoor has now finally responded to the rumors. 

Ektaa Kapoor Reacts To Lock Upp 2 Winner Rumours Surrounding Shreya Kalra And Shivangi Joshi

When a paparazzo asked Ektaa Kapoor whether Shreya Kalra was already kind of finalized as the winner for the season, the producer only gave a kind of sly remark that left the people around her amused and smiling, maybe even laughing. And then, as the rumors kept going, she went a step further; she said, “Why would it even be a problem if Shivangi Joshi ended up lifting the trophy?” Later on, when she was asked who she wanted to see win, Ektaa made it pretty clear the call was not really hers to make. She added that she does not actually select the winners of reality shows and that the end result comes from the show’s way of working plus how the audience reacts.

Ektaa Kapoor’s response also made it clear that reality shows are eventually steered by the contestants’ journeys, the kind of audience backing they get, and their overall performance, not really by any personal inclination from the makers. Her explanation came around the same time when the social media chatter about the Lock Upp 2 winner has been getting intense, like fans are closely dissecting each and every task, fight, friendship and little moment from the show just to push their chosen contestant.

Shreya Kalra was certainly one of the hottest talkers for the season with her assertive nature and firm views. She was known for her fiery clashes with contestants such as Ram Kapoor, Akanksha Choudhary and Akanksha Chamola. She was also known for her friendship with Shilpa Shinde, which created a loyal fan base for her. Several viewers have been supporting Shreya and feel that she should win the trophy. However, Shivangi Joshi’s story inside the Lock Upp 2 house was completely different. Some viewers criticized her for being too emotional in difficult situations, but she has been commended for standing up for herself when she’s facing conflict.
