Lock Upp 2 contestant Yogesh Rawat speaks publicly for the first time after his eviction from the show. In a video posted on his social media account, Rawat thanks viewers for supporting him and says the exit felt “unexpected” not only for him but also for fans who had been backing him. He adds that he had been out of the show for about a week before addressing the public, and he describes being moved by the amount of love and attention he received after leaving. Rawat also acknowledges feeling disappointed when he was eliminated. At the same time, he frames his experience as positive, saying his real “victory” is winning the fans’ affection rather than winning the competition. He urges supporters not to be disheartened and says “whatever happens is for the good.”
Both outlets note that Rawat’s exit is part of a sequence of departures as the season progresses, including earlier eliminations and at least one departure attributed to health reasons. Following his eviction, some viewers question the fairness of the decision and express hope for a possible wildcard re-entry.
