Ram Kapoor Lock Upp controversy continues

Entities: Ram Kapoor · Sufi Motiwala · Shivangi Joshi · Lock Upp (Season 2) · Harshad Chopda

Overview

The Lock Upp Season 2 finale approached with a series of evictions and re‑entries that reshaped house dynamics. Dheeraj Dhoopar and Sufi Motiwala were eliminated in a double vote, while Harshad Chopda and Yogesh Rawat won comeback challenges and returned to the game. Ram Kapoor remained at the centre of the drama, again describing a flexible, self‑serving game plan and sharing further personal revelations. His wife, Gautami Kapoor, continued to publicly back him on social media. Shivangi Joshi reacted emotionally to Chopda’s eviction, even taking his bedsheet, sparking mixed responses online. Rumours of a Harshad‑Shivangi romance were dismissed by Sufi, who also clarified that a comment about Akanksha Chamola’s pregnancy was a joke. In his exit interview, Sufi alleged past sexual misconduct and spoke of his grandmother’s recent death. After his eviction, Dheeraj Dhoopar criticised Harshad Chopda and Yogesh Rawat for not challenging him after their own exits, while his wife Vinny Arora defended a disputed "chit" incident, saying she owed no explanation to anyone but her husband. Contestant Shreya Kalra later disclosed a traumatic childhood sexual‑abuse experience during the "On Your Secret" week, adding a serious personal dimension to the narrative. Fans now view Shreya Kalra and Shivangi Joshi as the leading contenders as the show’s twists, including the double eviction and an extended finale schedule, keep viewers engaged. In a new development, Ram Kapoor publicly apologized to fellow contestant Pam after an aggressive confrontation on the set. He said he had not realized his behaviour was intimidating and wanted his son, who watches the show, to see him act responsibly. Kapoor also mentioned that another contestant, Varun, had influenced his actions and expressed a desire to maintain a friendship with Pam in Dubai.
