Shreya Kalra Calls Out Ram Kapoor’s ‘Touchy’ Behaviour on Lock Upp 2, Asks Him to Respect Boundaries

Shreya Kalra Criticizes Ram Kapoor For Unwelcome Kiss on Camera in 'Lock Upp 2': An Embarrassing Incident in Reality Television

Things have turned tense inside the Lock Upp 2 house after the incident between contestant Shreya Kalra and veteran actor Ram Kapoor. In a recent episode, after Shreya won a high-stakes task which helped him to successfully save himself from elimination, Ram planted a kiss on her cheek.

The gesture could have been an expression of sudden excitement or gratitude in the heat of the game, but it left Shreya deeply uncomfortable and led to a major fallout. "Even My Dad Doesn't Kiss Me This Much"

Shreya, clearly frustrated, did not mince her words as she shared the incident with co-contestant Shilpa Shinde. She said personal boundaries had been crossed and she wouldn't let it go if it happened again. In a frank comment that quickly went viral online, she said, “Even my dad doesn’t kiss me this much; don’t kiss me now.” Shreya also shared her frustration with the power dynamics in the house, feeling that her hard work in winning tasks to keep him safe wasn’t being met with basic respect.

Family response, social media storm

The heated conversation quickly exploded across social media platforms, igniting a heated debate among viewers on the issues of personal space and consent on reality TV. While a lot of fans applauded Shreya for openly calling out a senior industry figure on national television, the controversy invited a public reaction from Ram’s wife, Gautami Kapoor. Gautami, in a video message in defence of her husband, urged viewers to remember the high-pressure and edited nature of reality shows and described him as a warm-hearted person playing without a strategy, seeking an end to toxic online trolling.
