Lock Upp 2's Shreya Kalra hits back at trolls calling her an undeserving winner

Lock Upp: Sach ya Sazaa winner Shreya Kalra has addressed the criticism surrounding her victory, with some viewers calling the reality show “scripted” and “biased." During a recent Instagram Q&A session, Shreya responded to a fan who questioned whether she deserved to win, defending her journey and pointing to the twists and advantages given to other contestants throughout the season.When a fan told her, “People are saying you didn't deserve it. It was biased,” Shreya hit back, asking, “You tell me if not me then who?”She then questioned why viewers had not raised similar concerns when other contestants benefited from twists during the season.She said, “Why didn’t people call the show biased when contestants were brought back? Why didn’t they call the show biased when they were kept in the secret room? Why didn’t they say it was biased when an advantage was taken away from me and given to someone else? Why didn’t they say it then? (Mic drop ho chuka hai guys) The mic has already dropped, guys.” Her comments came after a section of social media users questioned the outcome of the finale, while her fans celebrated her victory.During the show, Shreya received an advantage during the semi-final task that allowed her to decide which contestant would be eliminated immediately. She chose Shivangi Joshi, but Harshad, who was the first finalist, ultimately gave up his place to save Shivangi. Harshad was later eliminated from the competition. Recently, Farah also addressed criticism of being biased on the show towards Shreya. In her vlog, the filmmaker revealed that she only learnt about Shreya’s association with the same management company as hers after viewers began accusing her of being biased.“After two weeks, I got to know because people started commenting that I was a biased host. Why? Because her YouTube company and mine are managed by the same team named Qyuki. They have 70 content creators! So I called them and asked if Shreya is under them, and they said yes. But I didn't know, so how was I biased?” Farah said.Shreya Kalra was declared the Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa winner and she took home a Rs 1 crore cash prize.- EndsPublished By: Prachi aryaPublished On: Aug 15, 2026 16:18 IST
