Lock Upp 2: Shivangi Joshi Removes Ram Kapoor and Shreya Kalra From Her Gang

A surprise pick in the house 
Shivangi was given a special task in which she had the power to choose who stays in her team and who goes out. After much thought, she decided that the two members she wanted to get rid of were Ram Kapoor and Shreya Kalra.  

The announcement changed the mood in the house instantly. The contestants stared, speechless, words dying on their lips. Ram was one of the most vocal supporters of Shivangi since the start of the season, and many were surprised when he exited the gang.

The viewers were also surprised by Shreya’s elimination, as she and Shivangi had shared some cordial moments earlier in the competition.

Farah Khan asks the question 
Host Farah Khan took the twist on her head and questioned Shivangi about her choice. Farah admitted she was surprised to see Ram’s name on the list, as he had supported Shivangi in the past with tasks and arguments.

However, Ram took the decision coolly. He told the house that he respected Shivangi’s decision and the game needed such hard calls. But while he supported the plan, it caused discussions among the other contestants about loyalty, strategy and trust within the house.

Changes to game  
There are still a few weeks to go until the finale, and this decision should stir things up quite a bit. With two strong personalities out of her gang, Shivangi will now have to rely on a smaller group of people to get things done, make nominations, and manage alliances.

Reaction to the episode from fans was mixed. Some people congratulated Shivangi for making the first move in the game, while others felt it was a little too risky so close to the end. Social media was flooded with clips and memes on ‘Shivangi’s masterstroke’.

The episode has set the stage for more conflict and tactical manoeuvring in the days ahead. With alliances breaking and new ones being formed, Lock Upp 2 looks to be entering its most unpredictable phase yet.
