Prince Narula's Nibba-Nibbi Dig; Shreya Kalra Wins Lock Upp 2
Lock Upp 2 is a big reality TV show in India where people compete while living in a jail-themed house.
One day, the show ended with a grand finale where famous stars sat on a jury and asked the finalists questions.
One jury member, Prince Narula, made everyone laugh with a joke.
He said that the friendship between Shivangi Joshi and her co-star Harshad Chopda looked like 'nibba-nibbi wala pyaar,' which is a playful way of calling it childish love.
Shivangi said she was only trying to encourage Harshad before he left the show.
Other jury members also questioned whether Shivangi deserved to be in the finale.
In the end, two contestants, Shivangi and Shreya Kalra, made it to the top two.
Shreya won the trophy and a huge prize of one crore rupees, while Shivangi finished second.
Jury member Prince Narula joked that Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopda's equation looked like 'nibba-nibbi wala pyaar' during the Lock Upp 2 finale.
Shivangi defended her gesture, saying she was simply motivating Harshad before his elimination and wanted him to return to the show.
Another jury member claimed Shivangi had reached the finale in 'khairaat' (by charity/luck).
A media representative alleged viewers felt Shivangi 'acted dumb' about Harshad being in love; she replied that he has always been 'caring and protective' toward friends.
Shreya Kalra was crowned the winner of Lock Upp 2, taking the trophy and the ₹1 crore cash prize, with Shivangi Joshi as first runner-up.
