On Lock Upp 2, contestant Shreya Kalra reveals a personal secret about co-contestant Akanksha Chamola, leading to an on-screen confrontation and subsequent acknowledgment. According to reports, Shreya tells fellow contestant Sufi Motiwala that she is planning to disclose Akanksha’s sexuality and asks whether it would make her “a bad person.” Sufi responds that it is part of the game. The disclosure triggers a dramatic moment in which Akanksha later admits she is bisexual. Akanksha states she felt safer with women and says she was bisexual before her marriage, adding that she has had relationships with girls. Hosts Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan reportedly comment on Akanksha’s courage after she speaks about her personal life. After being safe from elimination, Akanksha confronts Shreya, calling her “evil” and accusing her of betrayal, while Shreya’s actions are framed by some coverage as payback and as the use of secrets for strategy, described as “lifelines” allowed within the show’s format.
