Shreya Kalra emerged as the winner of Lock Upp Season 2, capping off an eventful journey by lifting the winner’s trophy and taking home the ₹1 crore cash prize. Hosted by Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan, the reality show concluded with a dramatic finale that tested the finalists through tasks, jury questioning and multiple rounds of voting before Shreya was declared the champion.
The grand finale featured the top five contestants—Shreya Kalra, Shivangi Joshi, Yogesh Rawat, Ram Kapoor and Shilpa Shinde. Each finalist had survived weeks of challenges, arguments, emotional moments and strategic gameplay to reach the final stage. However, the competition became even tougher on the last day as every contestant fought for a place in the top three.
The first major elimination came after a puzzle-based task. Contestants had to correctly assemble a puzzle, and the participant with the highest number of incorrect pieces would be eliminated. Ram Kapoor failed to complete the challenge successfully and finished in fifth place. His exit surprised many viewers, as he had been considered one of the strongest contenders throughout the season.
The remaining four contestants then faced another challenge to decide who would enter the top three. In a game involving mystery boxes, contestants had to convince others to choose the box marked “terminated.” Through clever gameplay and strategy, Yogesh Rawat managed to influence the outcome, resulting in Shilpa Shinde selecting the losing box. Her elimination ended her impressive journey just short of the final three.
With Shreya Kalra, Shivangi Joshi and Yogesh Rawat making the top three, the finale shifted from physical tasks to personality assessments. A jury consisting of media professionals and actors questioned each finalist about their conduct, relationships and controversies during the season.
Yogesh Rawat faced criticism over his attitude and behaviour inside the Lock Upp house. Jury members questioned several of his actions, asking him to explain moments where his confidence was perceived as arrogance. Shivangi Joshi was asked about her relationship with fellow contestant Harshad Chopda and allegations that she influenced his journey in the competition. She answered questions regarding her gameplay and defended her decisions throughout the season.
Shreya Kalra, despite receiving praise for her fearless approach and strong gameplay, also had to answer difficult questions. The jury revisited her accusations against Ram Kapoor, where she had claimed he made her uncomfortable during the show. She was also questioned about some controversial remarks and her language during heated arguments inside the house.
Influencer Awez Darbar also confronted Shreya during the finale. He accused her of influencing her former partner into making statements against him while he was participating in another reality show, saying the controversy had negatively affected his public image. Actress Mannara Chopra questioned Shivangi Joshi about her bond with Harshad Chopda, adding another emotional moment to the finale.
Following the jury interaction, Yogesh Rawat was eliminated, leaving Shreya Kalra and Shivangi Joshi as the final two contestants. The winner was then decided through a combination of votes from former contestants, the jury panel and the jailers. After the final tally, Ekta Kapoor announced Shreya Kalra as the winner of Lock Upp Season 2.
Shreya’s victory reflected her remarkable transformation during the competition. Entering the show with the image of being outspoken and blunt, she quickly became one of the most talked-about contestants. Her arguments with fellow contestants, particularly Ram Kapoor, created headlines from the very beginning. Although many contestants initially kept their distance from her, she remained vocal and never hesitated to express her opinions.
Throughout the season, Shreya developed intense rivalries with contestants including Akanksha Chamola, Yogesh Rawat, Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopda. Her decision to reveal one of Akanksha’s personal secrets without permission became one of the most controversial moments of the show and attracted criticism from both contestants and viewers.
Despite the controversies, Shreya continued to dominate discussions inside the Lock Upp house. Her strong personality, willingness to confront difficult situations and refusal to back down made her one of the season’s most influential contestants. While many criticised her methods, others appreciated her honesty and determination. By the finale, she had managed to win over enough voters to secure the title.
