As Shivangi's controller, Shilpa told her, "I don't want to see you sitting with Harshad." When Shivangi asked if that meant she should stop talking to Harshad Chopda altogether, Shilpa clarified, "No, no. I didn't say you shouldn't talk to Harshad at all."

Despite the clarification, Shivangi was left emotional. She later approached Harshad with teary eyes and told him she had been asked not to sit with him. Harshad tried to comfort her, asking her not to cry and not to take the situation so seriously. Host Ram Kapoor was also seen consoling her.

The scene quickly became fodder for memes on social media.

An Instagram user shared the clip and wrote, "These two just can't come out of daily soap mode. Shivangi, are you serious?" Another post read, "Aren't Kabir and Preeti taking it a bit too far?" while another content creator remarked, "Harshad and Shivangi really need to chill out."

Television couple Kishwer Merchant and Suyyash Rai also reacted to the episode in an Instagram video, laughing about Shivangi's emotional response.

In the clip, Kishwer asked Suyyash if he had watched the episode and why he was laughing. Suyyash replied, "Why was she crying like that? Shilpa Shinde had only asked her not to talk."

Kishwer added, "And it was Shilpa Shinde who said it. You've taken it so seriously as if Ekta Kapoor herself had asked you not to speak to him."

Suyyash went on to say that even if Shivangi had ignored Shilpa's instruction, the consequences would have been minimal. "If even Ekta Kapoor had said it, that would make sense because she's the maker. But it was Shilpa Shinde. At most, Shivangi would have lost Shilpa's support and perhaps not been safe," he said before playfully recreating Shivangi's conversation with Harshad.

The video carried the caption, "Overacting happened in Lock Upp."

The exchange between Shilpa, Shivangi and Harshad, along with Kishwer and Suyyash's reaction, has sparked widespread discussion online, with viewers divided over whether Shivangi's emotional response was genuine or an overreaction.
