'Main Nahi To Kaun?': After Host Farah Khan, Lock Upp 2 Winner Shreya Kalra Hits Back At 'Biased Show' Allegations- VIDEO

Reality TV star Shreya Kalra, winner of Netflix's Lock Upp 2, has responded to allegations that the show is biased, calling out viewers who claim she didn't deserve her victory. During a fan Q&A session, Shreya confrontingly asked, "Aap bataiye, main nahi to kaun?" - "If I'm not the winner, then who is?" She questioned why people accused the show of bias when its contestants were placed in a "secret room," given advantages to others, or when someone was favored over her. Shreya concluded by saying, "Mic drop ho chuka hai doston" (The mic drop is done, friends).

Prior to this, farah Khan, the show's host, also addressed the "biased host" claims in an interview with India Today. She defended the decision-making process, stating that she and co-host Riteish Deshmukh were the first to speak up when their friends made mistakes, even though it was difficult personally. Farah admitted to becoming emotionally invested in the contestants' stories, a natural consequence of her love for reality TV and her emotional nature.

She explained that she was compelled to react to the contestants' situations due to her own emotions and the personal connection she felt to the show. Farah acknowledged the controversy surrounding her perceived softness as a jailer, but defended her approach, saying she would get emotionally involved because it was her favorite genre of television.
