Harshad Chopda opened up about a deeply personal incident from his early 20s during a Judgement Day segment on ‘Lock Upp Season 2’, revealing that he once attempted to harm himself after a relationship breakdown. The disclosure came when he used his lifeline and was required to share a secret to stay in the game.
Chopda said the incident occurred when he was 22 or 23, shortly after moving to Mumbai. He described being in a relationship that ended abruptly when his partner told him she had been unfaithful. He said he reacted impulsively, injured himself and went to a nearby hospital. According to Chopda, doctors informed him that the police would need to be involved, and he pleaded with them not to file a report. He told the show that he had never spoken to his father about the incident and had carried the memory alone for years.

The episode featured a brief advisory from the hosts, who urged viewers to seek support during emotional distress and reminded them that self‑harm is never a solution. Chopda’s disclosure prompted a strong reaction from viewers, many of whom expressed support for his decision to speak openly about a difficult period in his life.
