LockUpp – Harshad Chopda and Shivangi Joshi Confront Shilpa Shinde Over Repeated ‘Lovebirds’ Remark
LockUpp – A heated exchange inside the Lock Upp Season 2 house grabbed viewers’ attention after actors Harshad Chopda and Shivangi Joshi strongly objected to fellow contestant Shilpa Shinde repeatedly referring to them as “lovebirds.” What started as a disagreement over a gym mat quickly escalated into a personal confrontation, with all three contestants exchanging sharp remarks during the episode.
Dispute Begins Over a Gym Mat
The confrontation unfolded when Harshad Chopda searched for a gym mat that he believed should have been available in the common area. Expressing his frustration, he mentioned that he could not find the mat outside. Responding to him, Shilpa Shinde stated that she was using the mat to sleep and had no intention of giving it up.
Harshad appeared irritated by the response and suggested that the discussion could continue once the mat was no longer being used for sleeping. He also implied that Shilpa was enjoying special treatment inside the house, a comment that immediately changed the tone of the conversation.
‘Lovebirds’ Comment Sparks Strong Reaction
During the argument, Shilpa referred to Harshad and Shivangi as “lovebirds,” a remark that did not go unnoticed. Shivangi immediately questioned the meaning behind the repeated label and expressed her displeasure over it.
She stated that there was no reason to repeatedly describe them that way and maintained that everyone was already aware of the nature of their relationship. Shivangi also urged Shilpa to be more respectful while speaking about fellow contestants.
Harshad also stepped in to defend their friendship, making it clear that Shivangi was simply a close friend. He criticized Shilpa for, in his view, creating unnecessary speculation about their bond and accused her of spreading rumours through repeated comments.
Verbal Exchange Intensifies Inside the House
The disagreement continued as Shilpa once again repeated the same “lovebirds” remark. Harshad responded by pointing out how frequently she had been using the term throughout their interactions.
Supporting Harshad, Shivangi questioned whether Shilpa’s comments reflected jealousy rather than genuine observation. She further accused her fellow contestant of making unnecessary personal remarks instead of maintaining a respectful conversation during the disagreement.
The verbal exchange quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the episode, with both sides refusing to step back as emotions ran high.
Apoorva Makhija Reacts From the Secret Room
The argument was also observed by wildcard contestant Apoorva Makhija, who is currently staying in the show’s secret room. Watching the confrontation unfold, she jokingly remarked that viewers had once again witnessed Harshad’s intense side, comparing it to his well-known on-screen persona.
Her light-hearted reaction added another perspective to an otherwise tense situation inside the reality show.
Harshad and Shivangi’s Television Connection
Harshad Chopda and Shivangi Joshi are widely recognised for their association with the popular television drama Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Although both actors were part of the long-running series, they never actually shared screen space together.
Shivangi had already completed her journey on the show before Harshad joined the cast. She became a household name for portraying Naira Singhania, while Harshad later entered the series as Dr. Abhimanyu Birla, representing the next generation of the storyline.
Their previous association with the successful television franchise has often drawn public interest, making their interactions on Lock Upp Season 2 a major talking point among viewers.
