  Lock Upp 2 grand finale: Shivangi Joshi's team defends her

  After Harshad Chopda gave up his spot for Shivangi Joshi, she received flak for manipulating him, as Shilpa Shinde had previously claimed. However, her team defended her in a note that read:

  Note from #TeamShivangi

  Let's get the story straight, since a few are working overtime to bend it. 🤍

  Our girl believed a game was played fair. Then she learned it wasn't. And somehow, her being hurt by that is the crime?

  Show us the clip. The one where she told anyone to drop their game and play for her. We'll wait.

  Because what actually played was the opposite. "Please don't." "Relax." "It's not your decision, it's Shreya's." She said it, again and again. The format handed one friend the choice to save another. He made that call himself, freely, with a full heart. Tell us again how that lands on her.

  She walked in tagged "bezubaan." Now that she stands her ground, that's the problem? Pick a lane.

  And to the sudden wave of copy-paste comments and paid outrage: all this effort to silence one girl. She must really matter. 🤍

  #NoHate for Harshad, always. A real friend to her, and we'll never say otherwise. But friendship was never the crime here, and neither is she.

  #TeamShivangi 🤍
