'Lock Upp Season 2' keeps viewers engaged with drama. Now as the series progresses halfway, yet another controversy is gaining momentum on social media platforms. The contestant named Harshad Chopda is being trolled now because of the promotion that was uploaded recently. This promotion featured him flipping off another contestant named Shreya Kalra in an argument situation.
In the promotion that was uploaded on Tuesday, Harshad tells Shreya to obey the orders of the gang boss. But when she asks him not to intervene, Harshad flips her the middle finger and walks off.
Shortly after the promo was released, the clip went viral on social media, with many users criticizing Harshad's behavior. Some viewers even demanded his eviction from the show. One user wrote, "Harshad is acting childish. Ekta should deduct 80% of the fees of both of them (Shivangi and Harshad) for overacting." Another commented, "I don't like this person at all. Please kick him out."
There has been friction between Harshad and Shreya since the very first week of the show. Previously, Harshad had accused Shreya of trying to manipulate him, while Shreya maintained that she had simply tried to be friendly with him.
The two contestants have been constantly clashing inside the house. In an earlier episode as well, Harshad had angrily confronted Shreya after seeing Shivangi distressed and in tears because of her. That incident also drew criticism online, with many viewers dismissing his reaction as overacting.
In 'Lock Upp Season 2', hosted by Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan, celebrities live in a jail-themed house where they participate in tasks while facing the allegations leveled against them. The reality show has three weeks remaining and streams on Netflix from Saturday to Thursday at 8 PM.
