Akansha Chamola blasts Shreya Kalra after she reveals her bisexuality on Lock Upp
Akanksha Chamola confronted Shreya Kalra on Lock Upp after learning her secret had been shared with Sufi Motiwala. The fallout cost her a lifeline and sparked strong support from viewers online.
Actor Akanksha Chamola confronted fellow contestant Shreya Kalra in the latest episode of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa after the latter revealed her bisexuality during a conversation with Sufi Motiwala. Calling Shreya "the most evil person" she had ever met, Akanksha accused her of betraying her trust, leading to an emotional showdown on the reality show.
The confrontation stemmed from an earlier incident in which Akanksha chose not to save Shreya in the game. Following that, Shreya discussed one of Akanksha's personal secrets with fellow contestant Sufi Motiwala. In the latest episode, the conversation was played before the contestants.
Responding to the clip, Akanksha confirmed that she is bisexual and revealed that she had been in relationships with women before marrying actor Gaurav Khanna. While she chose to acknowledge her sexuality herself, she broke down over the fact that it had been disclosed without her consent.
After being saved from elimination, Akanksha returned to the house and confronted Shreya in front of the other contestants.
"I want to say in front of everyone that I have never seen a more evil person in the world who is so heartless and insensitive. Tumne jo Sufi ke saath share kiya hai na mera secret, thank you so much. Mereko bol rahi ho maine tumko support nahi kiya (Thank you so much for sharing my secret with Sufi. And you're saying that I didn't support you?), but what you told Sufi, I didn't even share with you. We had a conversation backstage. You overheard it and used it," she said.
Akanksha went on to accuse Shreya of weaponising a deeply personal conversation for the sake of the game.
"Don't trust this woman. The thing wasn't even part of the show, but she brought it into the game. So, just for the record, I don't have any lifelines now. She can go to any extent to backstab you. God bless you. I hope bhagwan aur tumhara karma thoda sukh shaanti de aur tumhare andar jo logon ke liye gandagi aur hatred hai na voh kabhi toh kum ho (I hope God and your karma bring you some peace and happiness, and that the hatred and negativity you carry towards others one day begins to fade)," she added before breaking down in tears.
Hosted by Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan, Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa premiered on June 27 with 15 contestants competing in the jail-themed reality show.
The latest episode also saw Shreshta Iyer become the season's first contestant to be evicted, while the makers teased the entry of a new wildcard participant.
