Shilpa Shinde’s ‘virgin’ jibe at Shivangi Joshi on ‘Lock Upp 2’ triggers outrage online
Shilpa Shinde has drawn criticism on ‘Lock Upp 2’ after making remarks about Shivangi Joshi that viewers widely felt crossed a personal line. The moment occurred during a mimicry segment on the reality show, where contestants were asked to imitate one another. What began as light entertainment quickly turned into a clip that has since circulated heavily online.
While mimicking Joshi, Shinde adopted a soft, innocent tone and added a line implying Joshi’s virginity, saying she was “very innocent” and would “only do it after marriage.” Fellow contestant Shreya Kalra laughed along and joined the skit by pretending to be Harshad Chopda, continuing the mock conversation. The exchange, captured on camera, spread rapidly across social media.
The reaction from viewers was immediate. Many criticised the remark as inappropriate, arguing that Shinde’s comment strayed beyond harmless humour and into personal territory. Fans noted that Joshi has maintained a composed presence on ‘Lock Upp 2’, and that such insinuations felt unnecessary even within the heightened drama of a reality‑show format.

The incident also revived discussion around Shinde’s earlier interactions with Joshi, including moments where she had advised her to limit conversations with Chopda. Some viewers suggested the latest remark added to a pattern that felt more targeted than playful.
Neither Joshi nor Chopda has responded publicly, and the show’s producers have not issued a statement. The clip, however, continues to fuel debate about the boundaries of mimicry and personal commentary on reality television, and the responsibility contestants hold when referencing one another’s private lives.
