Shilpa Shinde's arrival immediately changed the atmosphere inside the house. While some contestants looked cautious about her entry, others believed she would get along with Shreya Kalra because of their outspoken personalities.
However, the first major argument happened with Shivangi Joshi. Shivangi asked Shilpa to speak politely, but the conversation quickly turned into a heated verbal fight.
Who Is Unsafe This Week On Lock Upp?
Farah Khan entered the Lock Upp to begin the chargesheet process. Since Shivangi Joshi, Akanksha Choudhary, Pamela, and wildcard Shilpa Shinde were safe, they had the power to save other contestants. Every contestant carried a prize amount, and saving them meant that amount would be deducted from the week's ration budget.
