Shreya Kalra Reveals Akanksha Chamola's Secret on Lock Upp 2, Sparks DebatePreviousNext

In Netflix's Lock Upp 2, contestant Shreya Kalra revealed that fellow participant Akanksha Chamola is bisexual, a secret Akanksha had previously shared confidentially. This disclosure occurred after Akanksha nominated Shreya for elimination, leading to tensions between them. Shreya's boyfriend, Rishabh Jaiswal, defended her, explaining that contestants submit personal secrets as part of the show's format, which can be used as lifelines. Akanksha had earlier announced her separation from husband Gaurav Khanna on the show, adding to the ongoing drama.
