Lock Upp 2: Harshad Chopda Makes Shivangi Joshi First Finalist As Parting Gift Ahead Of Grand Finale

The race to the 'Lock Upp Season 2' finale has taken a shocking turn, with the latest episode leaving both contestants and viewers stunned.
Just a day after becoming the show's first finalist in the "Dawat-e-Jung" task, Harshad Chopda made a surprising decision. The actor chose to withdraw himself from the game to save his close friend Shivangi Joshi.
The previous episode had ended on a cliffhanger after Shreya Kalra won an advantage in a task, leaving everyone wondering whether she would use it to eliminate Shivangi.
In the latest episode, Shreya used her advantage and chose to terminate Shivangi. However, things changed when Jailer Riteish Deshmukh gave Harshad a choice. He could either accept Shivangi's elimination or terminate himself and make her the first finalist instead.

The two actors, who had remained close friends throughout the season, faced backlash from a section of viewers after the recent "Dawat-e-Jung," task with some accusing them of "emotional manipulation."
With only a few days left before the grand finale, Shivangi Joshi has secured her place as the first finalist, while Harshad's unexpected sacrifice has become one of the biggest talking points of the season. (ANI)
