The drama inside Lock Upp 2 continues to intensify, with relationships and gameplay becoming the centre of attention. In the latest episode, contestant Shivangi Joshi once again found herself at the heart of discussions, as fellow housemates questioned her equation with Harshad Chopra.

A newly released promo shows the contestants sharing their views on the duo's friendship, while hosts Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan also joined the conversation.

Shivangi's Strong Performance Sparks Fresh Debate

Shivangi Joshi has emerged as one of the standout contestants in recent weeks. Following the entry of Apurva Makhija, her game strategy has drawn attention, and she has managed to win several tasks, strengthening her position in the competition.

The latest developments come after Shivangi became aware of remarks reportedly made about her by Shilpa Shinde and Shreya Kalra, adding another layer of tension inside the house.

Riteish Questions Harshad Chopra

In the latest promo, Riteish Deshmukh teased Harshad Chopra about his game.

Referring to Shivangi's independent performance during the week, Riteish asked Harshad when viewers would get to see him play on his own.

Harshad responded that he would try if given the opportunity, prompting Riteish to jokingly ask how many more chances he needed.

The light-hearted exchange quickly turned into a discussion about whether Harshad's game was being overshadowed by his association with Shivangi.

Contestants Share Their Opinions

Several contestants also expressed their views on the duo's relationship during the episode.

Ram Kapoor suggested that Harshad appeared to be focusing more on Shivangi than on his own game.

Akanksha Chamola remarked that although the two describe themselves as friends, Harshad's behaviour often suggested a stronger emotional involvement.

Shilpa Shinde went a step further, claiming that Shivangi might be using Harshad to strengthen her own position in the competition.

The comments added fuel to ongoing speculation about whether their friendship is influencing gameplay inside the house.

Fun Task Brings More Reactions

The episode also featured a task in which contestants had to identify who they believed was "sleeping" in the game.

During the activity:

• Apurva Makhija named Dheeraj Dhoopar.

• Shilpa Shinde joked that Ram Kapoor's spiritual talks were putting everyone to sleep.

• Shivangi Joshi surprised the house by naming Harshad Chopra, leaving several contestants curious about her choice.

Her response quickly became another talking point among the housemates.

Friendship or Strategy?

The relationship between Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopra has been discussed throughout the season. While Harshad has previously maintained that they are good friends, fellow contestants continue to question whether their bond is affecting their individual gameplay.

As the competition heads towards its crucial stages, personal relationships and alliances are increasingly becoming part of the strategic battle inside the house.

Final Take

The latest promo suggests that Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopra's friendship will remain one of the major talking points in Lock Upp 2. Whether their bond is based purely on friendship or has strategic implications is likely to remain a subject of debate as the race to the finale becomes more competitive.
