Shreya Kalra says her rivals on 'Lock Upp 2' cornered her, made sure she won the title
Mumbai, Aug 6
Shreya Kalra, who won the 2nd season of the streaming captive reality show 'Lock Upp', has credited her victory to her rivals, who "cornered" her.
She spoke with the media after claiming the title, and said that her rivals in the show, which practically includes everyone except Madhuri Jain Grover and Shilpa Shinde, are at fault for making her the winner.
She told the media, "I was never one versus all, they made it, and that is their fault. I have said this that they have cornered me and made me a finalist and gave me a trophy. That is their fault. They did not want to be friends with me. I have tried so many times. I offered food when I got the chance. I have won tasks for them. When I was becoming a gang leader, I cheered for Shivangi when we had a fight the day before. I have given a premium plate to Shivangi Harshad when I could have eaten it myself".
She further mentioned, "I have tried to be their friend, but they never tried enough to even know me. They used to sit and tell only about themselves that I have done this, I have done this show, I have done this here, I have had such a journey. You can ask the interviewers how much they know about me".
Shreya walked away with the coveted trophy and a whopping Rs 1 crore cash prize. Shivangi Joshi finished as the first runner-up, while the other finalists were Ram Kapoor, Shilpa Shinde and Yogesh Rawat. Ahead of the finale, Varun Yadav and Akanksha Chamola were eliminated from the competition. Akanksha was evicted after Yogesh, Shreya and Varun unanimously voted her out when host Riteish Deshmukh asked them to take a collective decision.

I think the other contestants made a big mistake by underestimating her. She was always the quiet one but never let anyone break her spirit. This is a classic case of "log samajh nahi paye" - well played Shreya.
Honestly, reality shows mein kabhi kabhi sabka ziddi hona bhi ek strategy ban jata hai. But the way she mentioned she tried to make friends by sharing food and being a team player... that shows her maturity. Great win!
I watched the whole season and I feel Shreya was a bit too passive initially. But when the finale neared, she showed her true self. The other contestants were too busy showing off their own journey instead of trying to understand her. Sabki apni kahani hai yaar.
Wah! Ye toh "divide and rule" wali kahani poori tarah fit hoti hai. Par honestly, she deserved it. Going against everyone and still winning is not easy. Congratulations to her! 🎉
I think Shreya is right about one thing - they never tried to know her. In a show like this, jab aap kisi ko sirf rival samjhoge toh woh bahut aage nikal jaata hai. It's a lesson for all the other contestants.
