Kushal Tandon breaks his silence on Shreya Kalra, Shivangi Joshi's conversation about him
Mumbai, Aug 13
Kushal Tandon has finally broken his silence on Shreya Kalra and Shivangi Joshi discussing him in the recently concluded reality show "Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa".
Addressing the buzz, the actor joked that his conversations have been getting so much mileage across shows that he has decided to send a bill to TV Czarina Ekta Kapoor.
Kushal told IANS: "I have sent a bill to the lock-up with my GST because in Multiverse my talks were going everywhere outside the house, inside the house and in other shows so I have sent a bill to the lock-up I am signed in their company so they will give me a cheque very soon."
The recently concldued show "Alliance", which had 16 contestants entering as allies, but shifting loyalties, deception, and strategic gameplay tested every alliance in the race for the ultimate prize.
"Alliance" started streaming from June 26.
The show is the first international adaptation of Talpa Studios' globally acclaimed Dutch format, created by John de Mol. The Hindi-language show is produced by Banijay Asia.
Kushal gained prominence portraying Virat Vadhera in Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, Arjun Sharma in Beyhadh, and Reyansh Lamba in Barsatein - Mausam Pyaar Ka. He has also participated in Nach Baliye, Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi.
Talking about Shreya Kalra, it was on August 5 she lifted the trophy for 'Lock Upp 2'. Television actress Shivangi Joshi emerged as the first runner-up of the reality show, while Yogesh Rawat became the second runner-up.
Shreya is from Indore. She first appeared on the popular MTV reality show Roadies in 2020. She was a wildcard contestant on the show and was a part of Nikhil Chinapa's team. Shreya appeared in music video 'Zariya Tu' alongside Paras Kalnawat.
Lock Upp 2 had 14 inmates, 2 jailers, and 1 lock-up for 6 weeks. As per the rules, inmates must complete tasks to earn the in-game currency required for necessities such as food, supplies, and privileges.

Kushal Tandon is such a good sport about all this. Anyone else would have thrown a fit, but he's joking about it. And honestly, it's not even his fault that people keep bringing him up on other shows. Classic Indian TV drama — one mention and it becomes the news of the week.
The GST bill line was hilarious, but let's be real — Ekta Kapoor probably loves this free publicity for her shows. Also, congrats to Shreya Kalra for winning Lock Upp 2! From Roadies wildcard entry to winning a reality show — that's a solid comeback story.
I didn't even watch Alliance, but this article makes me want to check it out. The concept of shifting loyalties and strategic gameplay sounds intense. Kushal's comeback after all these years is interesting — he was so popular in Beyhadh, hope he picks some good projects now.
As someone who watches Indian reality TV occasionally, this seems like manufactured drama honestly. But Kushal handling it with humour is refreshing. The entertainment industry here is so interconnected — everyone knows everyone, and everything gets discussed everywhere.
Kushal's comments are just his way of showing he's above all this gossip. But honestly, these reality shows need to focus more on the format and less on creating unnecessary controversy about people who aren't even part of the show. That said, I am curious about Alliance — might give it a watch this weekend.
