The Story in Brief
Lock Upp 2 co-host Farah Khan has rejected viewers’ claims that she favoured winner Shreya Kalra. In a vlog, Khan visited Kalra’s Mumbai home and said she had not known the contestant before the show. She explained that both their YouTube companies are managed by Qyuki, which also represents Kalra, but said she learnt this only after viewers began accusing her of bias.
Kalra replied that Khan had singled her out from the first week and criticised her even when she performed well. Kalra beat Shivangi Joshi in the finale and won the trophy and Rs 1 crore. The result was decided through votes from jailers, former inmates and the Janta Ki Jury.
The Indian Opinion
The loudest online stories are that Kalra’s win proves either host favouritism or a completely rigged result. Neither follows from the available facts. Khan’s Qyuki explanation addresses a possible connection, but it cannot settle how she treated Kalra on screen. Kalra’s criticism deserves the same scrutiny as Khan’s denial. The useful test is the full voting record and episode footage, not comment-section certainty. Were the decisive votes published?
