A new promo of Lock Upp 2 has sparked outrage on social media after actor Harshad Chopda was seen showing his middle finger to fellow contestant Shreya Kalra during a heated argument inside the jail.The confrontation began during a fight between Shivangi Joshi and Roadies fame Shreya Kalra. As the argument escalated, Harshad stepped in, leading to a verbal clash with Shreya. Visibly upset, Shreya asked the duo to speak one at a time instead of ganging up on her. However, the promo ended on a shocking note with Harshad flashing his middle finger at her, leaving viewers divided.Soon after the clip surfaced online, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disappointment, with many criticising Harshad’s conduct and calling it disrespectful.One user wrote, “This much blind, even I can’t believe it bhai. Ek hadh tak thik hai and HC always knew his boundaries aur ladkiyon se woh aise baat bhi nahi karega jaisa Shreya se kar raha hai no matter what the issue. First week Harshad-Shreya tiff was still believable, abhi pata nahi.”Another fan pointed out another incident from the promo and commented, “Not ordering breakfast for Shreya and then asking her after the fact is crazy to me. You could’ve done this before. Don’t expect someone to share food just because you didn’t want to order for them. Ram, Harshad, Dheeraj, Sufi and Shivangi are a nightmare together!”A third user slammed the actor’s behaviour, writing, “Harshad Chopda shows his real self, only when arguing against Shreya Kalra. And that also when the argument is between Shreya and Shivangi. By showing middle finger, he is preparing his own exit from #LockUpp2. Hope this gets highlighted.”The promo has triggered mixed reactions online, with several viewers demanding accountability for Harshad’s gesture, while others have chosen to wait for the full episode before forming an opinion. It remains to be seen how host Riteish Deshmukh addresses the incident in the upcoming episode.Lock Upp 2 features a star-studded lineup of contestants, including Harshad Chopda, Shivangi Joshi, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Ram Kapoor, Shreya Kalra, Sufi Motiwala and several other popular faces from the television and digital entertainment industry.
