Lock Upp 2: Shivangi’s viral winner trophy photo is fake, finale on August 5
Mumbai: As the Lock Upp 2 grand finale approaches, social media is flooded with rumours about the winner. One viral image showing contestant Shivangi Joshi holding the winner’s trophy has sparked speculation that she has already won the reality show. However, there is no official confirmation of her victory, and the widely shared photo is reportedly fake.
According to sources associated with the show, the winner will be revealed only during the live grand finale on August 5, when the finale streams on Netflix. Until then, all claims about the winner remain unverified.
Reports suggest the top five finalists are Ram Kapoor, Shilpa Shinde, Shreya Kalra, Shivangi Joshi, and Yogesh Rawat. Among them, Shivangi Joshi and Shreya Kalra are said to have secured spots in the final two, but the makers have not disclosed who ultimately takes home the trophy and the reported Rs 1 crore prize.
The viral trophy image has nevertheless generated massive discussion online. Many fans initially believed it confirmed Shivangi’s victory, but those close to the production have dismissed the picture as fake, saying no official winner has been announced before the finale. The image appears to be misleading and should not be treated as proof of the final result.
The speculation has also intensified fan rivalry on social media. Supporters of Shivangi Joshi argue that her popularity, calm gameplay and consistent performance throughout the season make her the strongest contender. Others believe Shreya Kalra deserves the title because of her resilience, strategic decisions and impressive journey inside the house.
Throughout the season, Lock Upp 2 has featured dramatic twists, intense challenges and emotional confrontations. Contestants have taken part in difficult tasks, formed shifting alliances and faced the show’s signature “Sach Ya Sazaa” confession rounds, where hidden truths often changed the course of the game. These moments helped shape the finalists’ journeys and kept viewers engaged.
Shivangi entered the competition with a large television fan following and quickly established herself as one of the strongest players. Her supporters praise her ability to stay composed during conflicts, build trusted alliances and perform steadily under pressure. They believe these qualities make her a deserving winner.
Meanwhile, Shreya Kalra has earned admiration for her determination and growth during the competition. Starting as a relatively quiet contestant, she gradually emerged as one of the season’s most talked-about personalities. Fans credit her for speaking her mind, handling setbacks confidently and continuing to fight despite difficult situations.
With the finale only days away, excitement continues to build among viewers. While rumours and edited images continue to circulate online, the makers have maintained that the official winner will be announced only during the live finale. Until then, fans are advised to treat viral claims with caution.
Whether the trophy goes to Shivangi Joshi, Shreya Kalra or another finalist, the answer will finally be revealed when Lock Upp 2 concludes on August 5. Until the official announcement, any post claiming to reveal the winner should be considered speculation rather than fact.
