Farah Khan has addressed criticism surrounding Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2, rejecting allegations that she favoured winner Shreya Kalra throughout the reality show. The filmmaker and television personality clarified that she had never met Shreya before filming began and only learned of a professional connection after the finale.
Shreya Kalra lifted the Lock Upp Season 2 trophy, defeating Shivangi Joshi in the grand finale and taking home the ₹1 crore prize. While many viewers celebrated the victory, others questioned the result, with some accusing Farah Khan of showing preferential treatment towards the contestant.
Farah Khan Explains Why She Wasn't Biased
In her latest YouTube vlog, Farah Khan visited Shreya Kalra's Mumbai home, where the two discussed the controversy surrounding the show's finale.
Farah asked Shreya whether they had ever met before the reality show.
When Shreya replied that they had not, Farah explained that she only discovered later that both of them were associated with the same content management company, Qyuki.
According to Farah, social media users labelled her a "biased host" after learning about the shared management company, but she insisted she was unaware of the connection while filming the show.
She revealed that after reading online comments, she contacted her management team, who confirmed that Shreya was also represented by them. However, Farah maintained that this had no impact on her role as the show's host.
Shreya Kalra Says Farah Was Tough on Her
Interestingly, Shreya Kalra also dismissed claims that she received special treatment.
Instead, she joked that Farah was among the toughest people on the show and often criticised her performances during the initial weeks.
Shreya recalled that Farah frequently scolded her, including after her confrontation with fellow contestant Akanksha Choudhary, despite viewers believing she was being favoured.
The conversation ended on a light-hearted note, with both laughing about the online speculation.
