Shilpa Shinde, who entered Lock Upp 2 as a wild card contestant, has said she missed Salman Khan during the show. She alleged that Shivangi Joshi age-shamed and work-shamed her, and that much of the treatment was not shown on television. Shinde said Khan would have taken a stand for her as he often did on Bigg Boss, and that rude behaviour should not be passed off as good gameplay.
The show, hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, ended with Shreya Kalra winning Rs 1 crore. Shivangi Joshi was runner-up, and Yogesh Rawat took home Rs 10 lakh as second runner-up.
The narrative that reality show conflict is just entertainment overlooks the real hurt of age-shaming. Shilpa Shinde's point about young viewers learning that disrespect is acceptable gameplay deserves attention. Will Lock Upp or similar shows set explicit guidelines against personal attacks, or will they continue to let what is shown on TV define what is fair? That answer lies in producer conduct, not contestant complaints.
