Television actor Aanchal Khurana has weighed in on the latest controversy surrounding Lock Upp Season 2, where Harshad Chopda gave up his finalist spot to help Shivangi Joshi secure a place in the finale. While many viewers praised Harshad's selfless gesture, Aanchal claimed that Shivangi's behaviour off-camera is very different from what audiences see on screen.

According to Aanchal, she had a personal experience with Shivangi several years ago that left a lasting impression. Sharing a video on Instagram, the actor recalled an incident from a past television show and alleged that Shivangi had once accused her of getting close to her then-boyfriend.

Referring to Shivangi's conduct inside the Lock Upp house, Aanchal alleged that the actor's on-screen image does not reflect her real personality. “She is just acting in front of her fan. This mask didn’t stay in the show during Harshad's time. This is her real personality.”

While Aanchal didn't reveal the name of Shivangi's then boyfriend, but internet thinks it is Kushal Tandon. A comment onthe video read, “Omg! Aanchal Khurana completely exposed Shivangi! Apparently Kushal flirted with Aanchal too but Shivangi sent a threatening text warning her to stay away from him!!” Another scial media user didn't agree with the TV actor and wrote, “And what else should a girlfriend do & why is she giving in to his flirting? Why can’t Aanchal threaten Kushal that she’ll expose him to Shivangi???” For the unversed, during an earlier episode of Lock Upp 2, Shreya Kalra claimed Kushal flirted with her and said Shivangi Joshi became emotional after she warned her about it.

Harshad Chopda's decision to sacrifice his finalist position for Shivangi Joshi has emerged as one of the biggest talking points of Lock Upp Season 2. While many fans hailed the move as selfless, others questioned whether Shivangi deserved the spot, triggering widespread debate on social media. Aanchal's remarks have now added another layer to the controversy surrounding the show's latest twist.
