# Kushal Tandon jokes about $1 million bill to Ektaa Kapoor 2026-08-06T22:46:42+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Kushal Tandon jokingly asked producer Ektaa Kapoor for $1 million after his past relationship with Shivangi Joshi became part of discussions on Lock Upp 2. Hindustan Times reports that Tandon shared a clip of Shreya Kalra and Joshi discussing him, then told Kapoor he was sending a crossover bill with GST. Kapoor replied that he should direct-message her the amount. Tandon then called the sum “one million dollars”. The exchange followed overlapping storylines on Lock Upp and Alliance, whose finales took place on Wednesday and Thursday. Kalra had earlier said Tandon messaged her after a shoot, while Tandon later claimed she contacted him first. He and Joshi dated from mid-2023 to early 2025 after working together on Barsaatein, Mausam Pyar Ka. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Alliance, Ektaa Kapoor, Kushal Tandon, Lock Upp, Shivangi Joshi Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/kushal-tandon-jokes-about-1-million-bill-to-ektaa-kapoor/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
