Farah Khan visited Lock Upp Season 2 ex-contestant Akanksha Chamola ‘s home in her latest vlog. During their interaction, they discussed some of the deeply personal secrets that contestants shared on the reality show.
Lock Upp Season 2, which saw Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh as hosts, featured several television and entertainment personalities competing for the title. Shivangi revealed that she helped her family get through that difficult phase. She suggested that, after seeing other contestants open up about their traumatic experiences, Shivangi Joshi perhaps also decided to share her own story to seek sympathy from the audience. Farah was referring to the first secret Shivangi shared on the show, which was about her family going through a financial crisis and not having enough money for basic necessities such as bread and butter. Later on the show, Shivangi was also motivated to share her story of facing child abuse, after Ram Kapoor, Harshad Chopda and Shreya Kalra opened up about their own experiences of abuse during childhood. Fans were not happy with Farah equating Shivangi’s decision to share her personal secret on the show with an attempt to gain sympathy from the audience. A comment read, “This is the worst part about being in a reality show. People flip as soon as they get to know who’s hated who’s not. Pathetic. Also, being a host Farah should have basic decency, this was not called for. She shared her worst experience and this is what they have to say. The season saw Shreya Kalra emerge as the winner. Other contestants included Shivangi Joshi, Akanksha Chamola, Ram Kapoor, Harshad Chopda and Yogen Rawat, among others.
During the discussion, Farah said that the secrets shared by Ram Kapoor, Harshad Chopda and Shreya Kalra about facing child abuse were particularly emotional and heavy.
