Lock Upp 2: Shilpa Shinde's 'I'm a Virgin' remark on Shivangi Joshi irks fans; they call it 'character assassination

Lock Upp 2 is grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons, be it Akanksha and Pamela's closeness, Ram Kapoor making blunt statements, Laila's unfiltered words to Harshad Chopda, or Shivangi Joshi's bond.

As it's a reality show, Lock Upp 2 is much more unfiltered than Bigg Boss and doesn't have beeps for abuses, cuss words or sexually explicit language, as it streams on OTT and not on TV. No one said it's a family show; viewing requires parental guidance, as well as earphones plugged in.

A clip from the recent episode has now gone viral, showing Shilpa Shinde making a sexual joke about Shivangi Joshi. The conversation took place in Shivangi's absence.

In the latest episode of Lock Upp, Shreya Kalra jokingly asked Shilpa to mimic Shivangi, just as she was mimicking Harshad Chopda while the two were talking from a distance. Shreya said (mimicking Harshad), "Are yaar, mera koi aisa bada secret hai bhi nahi. Kitni jor se acting karu main."

Shilpa then began mimicking Shivangi, imagining what she might be saying to Harshad: "Main to bhot massoom hoon. Mujhe to kuch bhi nahi pata, main virgin hoon. Main to shaadi ke baad bhi nahi karungi."

Shame on you, Shilpa Shinde trends after she made a " I am a virgin" remark about Shivangi Joshi's sexuality

A user mentioned, "Leave them alone, Shilpa, Shreya can shamelessly character assassinate anyone, but if someone gives them even a small taste of their own medicine, they immediately start playing the victim."

Another wrote, "Commenting abt someone's virginity when they've never made a single personal remark about anyone is just so crass & disgusting. Seeing them say such vile things abt inmates despite everyone being unaware of all this dirty game is so disturbing to watch."

The latest episode ended with the fallout of the recent Judgement Day, where Akanksha Choudhary was sent to the punishment cell, and several contestants were left at risk ahead of the week's biggest twist. The makers have now confirmed that the upcoming episode will feature a special mid-week Judgement Day with a double eviction.

As per multiple media reports, Madhuri Jain is expected to be one of the contestants eliminated. Reports further suggest that Akanksha Choudhary may not be evicted despite being at risk and could instead be shifted to a secret room as part of a surprise twist. However, these reports remain unconfirmed, and the official outcome will only be revealed when the episode airs.
