Mumbai, August 6
Social media influencer Shreya Kalra emerged as the winner of 'Lock Upp 2: Sach Ya Sazaa', with actor Shilpa Shinde congratulating her close friend in an emotional moment that marked the reality show's grand finale.
Immediately after hosts Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan announced the results, an emotional Shilpa Shinde hugged Shreya on stage to celebrate her victory.
Shreya was officially declared the winner after securing the highest number of final votes.
Following the finale, Shilpa shared a heartfelt congratulatory message for Shreya on her Instagram handle.
"I'm absolutely on cloud nine! Words can't describe how incredibly happy I am as my bestie Shreya won...Many Congratulations sweetheart...Very well deserved...Watching you shine fills my heart with so much pride and joy. Love you endlessly, and I couldn't be prouder of you," she wrote in the caption.
While Shreya claimed the title, Shilpa Shinde finished as the first runner-up, with Yogesh Rawat securing the second runner-up position. The finale featured five contestants: Shreya Kalra, Shilpa Shinde, Shivangi Joshi, Ram Kapoor and Yogesh Rawat.
The final showdown came down to Shreya and Shivangi Joshi. Based on votes cast by the hosts, former contestants and special guests, Shreya secured the maximum votes to lift the coveted trophy.
The closely contested finale saw her defeat Shivangi by a margin of seven votes.
The second season of the Netflix reality show premiered on June 27 with 15 contestants entering the competition, each carrying three closely guarded personal secrets. Throughout the season, contestants were required to reveal their hidden truths while competing in demanding physical and mental challenges to remain in the game.
Before entering 'Lock Upp 2,' Shreya had appeared as a wildcard contestant on MTV Roadies in 2020 as part of Nikhil Chinapa's team. During her journey on the show, she was involved in several intense confrontations while also forming meaningful friendships, including a close bond with Shilpa Shinde and fellow contestant Madhuri.
The season also featured Harshad Chopda, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Sunita Ahuja, Sufi Motiwala, Akanksha Chamola, Varun Yadav, Akanksha Choudhary, Pamala Serena, Riyaz Aly and Shreshta Iyer among its contestants.

Honest question here - are we really celebrating a show about secrets and drama? Lock Upp seems more about sensationalism than real talent. But congratulations to Shreya anyway. Her journey from Roadies to this has been quite a ride, I'll give her that.
Shivangi lost by just 7 votes?? That's heartbreaking, honestly. She played such a strong game throughout. But Shreya's journey was equally compelling - she came in as a wildcard in Roadies and now this, well deserved! Shilpa's caption got me emotional, real bestie goals. 💕
I don't watch these shows regularly but my wife had this on every day for two months. I have to admit, the format is unique - forcing people to reveal secrets is a bit invasive honestly. That being said, Shreya played smart and Shilpa was the emotional anchor. Good finale overall.
Arre, Shilpa Shinde is just too precious! From Bigg Boss winner to now first runner-up - she's a true reality show queen. And the way she celebrated Shreya's win instead of feeling bad about herself, that's pure class. India needs more friendships like this on screen! 👏
As someone from outside India, I find these reality shows fascinating. The concept of bringing in guests to vote alongside hosts creates a pretty complex dynamic. Shreya seems genuinely talented at strategy, though. This whole season has been quite entertaining to follow from abroad.
