Shreya Kalra has won Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2, hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, beating television actor Shivangi Joshi in the grand finale. Along with the trophy, she took home a Rs 1 crore cash prize after spending weeks as one of the strongest contestants in the competition.
The winner was chosen through votes from the jailers, former contestants and the Janta Ki Jury.
What Happened In The Finale?
The finale began with a series of Agnipariksha tasks. Ram Kapoor was the first finalist to be eliminated after losing the opening physical challenge. Yogesh Rawat then entered the top three by winning the Bluff Master round, which led to Shilpa Shinde's elimination.
The remaining contestants then answered questions from a panel of celebrities and journalists. After the jury voting, Yogesh was eliminated, leaving Shreya and Shivangi as the final two contestants.
Shreya was eventually declared the winner, while Shivangi finished as the first runner-up.
