The drama inside the second season of the hit reality show Lock Upp has escalated to a whole new level following the explosive entry of television actor Shilpa Shinde. Joining the Netflix reality series as the season’s very first wildcard contestant right after Shrestha Iyer’s elimination, the Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai star wasted absolutely no time in shaking up the house equations and taking direct digs at her fellow inmates. On her very first day inside the captive jail, Shilpa actively picked up on existing issues and bluntly called out multiple contestants, including Sunita Ahuja and Shreya Kalra. However, her sharpest words were reserved for actor Akanksha Chamola, whom Shilpa claimed has only managed to secure a spot on the high-profile reality show because of the immense popularity of her husband, Anupamaa fame actor Gaurav Khanna. While discussing the contestants with fellow inmates Shreya and Madhuri Jain Grover, Shilpa did not hold back and openly questioned Akanksha’s individual identity in the entertainment industry, stating that she told everyone Akanksha is here purely because of Gaurav and mocking her by asking where anyone had ever even seen her before this show.
This direct attack quickly made its way back to Akanksha when co-contestant Sufi Motiwala shared Shilpa’s harsh remarks with her. Rather than breaking down, Akanksha merely smiled and registered that she was officially being targeted by the heavy-hitting wildcard entrant. The next morning, Akanksha admitted to her fellow inmates that Shilpa clearly does not like her, adding that if there is anyone currently inside the house with whom she is destined to pick a major fight, it is bound to be Shilpa. Akanksha also observed that Shilpa entered the show with the sole intention of picking fights and accusing people, suggesting that the veteran actress should focus her argumentative energy on Shreya instead, though that strategy seems unlikely to work as Shilpa and Shreya have surprisingly started bonding from day one. This new rivalry comes at a time when Akanksha is already the center of national media attention due to her series of stunning personal revelations on the show. During the grand premiere of Lock Upp Season 2, Akanksha had shocked viewers and the hosts, Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan, by dropping a massive bombshell that she and Gaurav Khanna have been living separately for the past year and are heading toward a divorce due to clashing views on expanding their family, even though Gaurav recently made a public appearance on the sets of Laughter Chefs to declare his absolute, lifelong love and support for his wife regardless of their marital status.
With Shilpa Shinde’s fiery attitude already ruffling feathers and causing immediate friction with popular housemates like Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopda, the dynamics inside the Lock Upp house have turned entirely unpredictable. Shilpa has openly mocked the existing contestants for playing in groups and warning them that their self-imposed rules only applied until an outsider like her stepped through the door to claim the throne. As the high-octane reality show expands its broadcast schedule to stream from Saturday to Thursday at 8 PM on Netflix to accommodate the rising viewer demand, fans are eagerly waiting to see how Akanksha Chamola handles this direct threat to her reputation and whether she will give a fitting reply to Shilpa’s stinging taunts regarding her career and famous husband.
