Cinema VinesAfter Harshad Chopda’s eviction from Netflix’s reality‑drama Lock Upp Season 2, actress Shivangi Joshi sparked a wave of online criticism when she was filmed using his bedsheet and blanket to sleep outside the cell. The clip, shared on Reddit, showed Joshi holding the sheet, saying, “I don’t know who slept where. Harshad said this was his, so I’m taking this. I am just feeling so lonely.” Viewers slammed the moment as “cringey” and “creepy,” with comments ranging from “She wants to sleep on his dirty bedspread. Eww, cringe af” to “It’s the cringiest thing to do, NGL.”
Joshi’s actions have reignited speculation about a romantic link between her and Chopda, who joined the show together on its premiere night and have been inseparable ever since. Their on‑screen chemistry has drawn both admiration and accusations of exaggerated acting. Some fans find their bond adorable, while others accuse them of “bullshit acting” and criticize the duo for “not playing the game individually.”
The drama intensified when Shilpa Shinde, a fellow contestant, tried to separate the pair and prevented Joshi from speaking to Chopda for a week. The following week, however, the two were seen collaborating with Shinde, further fueling gossip. Hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, along with co‑contestants Ram Kapoor, Dheeraj Dhoopar, and Apoorva Mukhija, have publicly called out the pair for their perceived lack of teamwork.
In the latest episode, former contestants Harshad Chopda and Yogesh Rawat re‑entered the house after winning separate tasks, defeating Sufi Motiwala and Dheeraj Dhoopar respectively. Chopda confronted Dhoopar for voting him out, labeling him “insecure.” A new promo hints at an upcoming twist: contestants’ secrets will be put up for sale, with each inmate assigned another’s secret, setting the stage for potential betrayals.
With the show airing on Netflix, the controversy surrounding Joshi’s bedsheet incident and the evolving dynamics among the contestants continue to dominate fan discussions and social media debates.
