Lock Upp 2 winner Shreya Kalra plans donation to Shilpa Shinde’s shelter

The Story in Brief

Lock Upp 2 winner Shreya Kalra plans to give part of her prize money to Shilpa Shinde’s shelter home, she said in a post-win interaction reported by Times Now. Kalra won the finale on August 5, with a reported cash prize of Rs 1 crore. She dedicated the trophy to her fans, family, Rishabh, Shinde and Madhuri, thanking them for their support.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Kalra said she felt isolated by fellow contestants and described some group confrontations as bullying. She also said a major fight with Akanksha Choudhary during a honey task was not aired. Hindustan Times identifies her as the Season 1 winner in its report, while Times Now calls her the Season 2 winner.

The Indian Opinion

Reality television invites two lazy narratives: that a contestant is either entirely wrong or entirely bullied. Kalra’s own account is less neat. She admits revealing a contestant’s sexuality was wrong, while alleging unequal treatment and unseen conflict. Viewers should judge the programme’s editing and conduct by the full footage, not just the finale storyline. Will the unaired fight ever be released?
