As Lock Upp 2 heads towards its grand finale, the conversation has shifted from the show itself to its finalists.
For days now, social media has been debating one question: Who deserves to win, Shivangi Joshi or Shreya Kalra?
Posts claiming to reveal the winner have gone viral. Fan pages have picked sides. Every new clip from the show is being analysed. What started as winner speculation has now become one of the biggest talking points around Lock Upp 2.
The discussion became even louder after producer Ektaa Kapoor was asked about the rumours.
Why Are Fans Debating Shivangi Joshi And Shreya Kalra?
Both contestants have had very different journeys on Lock Upp 2.
Shreya Kalra made headlines throughout the season for her outspoken personality and frequent clashes inside the house. Her confrontations with fellow contestants and her gameplay made her one of the show's most talked-about contestants.
Shivangi Joshi's journey was different. She began the season on a quieter note and was criticised by some viewers for being too emotional. As the weeks went by, many fans felt she became more confident and started standing up for herself during conflicts, earning support from viewers.
By the time the finale arrived, many viewers saw the competition as a straight contest between Shivangi and Shreya.
