Lock Upp 2: Shivangi Joshi, Harshad Chopda, and Shreya Kalra Open Up About Childhood Trauma

Reality television took an unusually raw turn this week. On the latest episode of Lock Upp 2, hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, contestants Shivangi Joshi, Harshad Chopda, and Shreya Kalra chose to speak publicly about painful experiences of childhood abuse — moments that left both housemates and viewers visibly shaken.

What Was Shared

Shivangi Joshi recounted a distressing experience of childhood molestation by someone her family trusted, describing how the abuse continued until her family eventually intervened. She credited fellow contestant Harshad Chopda and other housemates for creating a supportive environment that gave her the courage to speak about it publicly for the first time.

Harshad Chopda also shared a difficult memory from when he was ten years old, describing being left in someone’s care and experiencing an uncomfortable, inappropriate situation with them.

Shreya Kalra revealed that she was molested by a cousin at age 13, an experience she had kept hidden from most of her family. She explained that she wasn’t seeking sympathy, and that her reason for staying quiet publicly for so long was tied to complicated family circumstances involving the person responsible.
