Shivangi Joshi has received massive support from fans, friends, and celebrities after Shilpa Shinde made controversial personal remarks about her in Lock Upp 2. As the clips from the reality show continue to go viral, actress and social media influencer Jannat Zubair has now publicly extended her support to her close friend.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Jannat shared a strongly worded note in Shivangi’s support. Without directly naming Shilpa, she questioned the growing trend of judging someone’s character without truly knowing them.
She wrote, “It’s strange how easily people choose to judge someone’s character without really knowing them. I’ve known Shivangi for years, and I know the values she carries and the person she is. That’s why watching her being spoken about this way doesn’t sit right with me. You can disagree with someone, call out their actions, or have a different perspective. But attacking a woman’s character should never become entertainment.”
Jannat’s message quickly went viral across social media platforms. Many fans appreciated her for standing by Shivangi during the difficult phase, while several users echoed her opinion and criticized personal attacks in reality shows.
The controversy began after Shilpa Shinde made comments about Shivangi’s personal life during a conversation with fellow contestant Shreya Kalra inside the Lock Upp 2 house. Shilpa mocked Shivangi by making remarks about her virginity, and the comments immediately sparked outrage online. Many viewers called the statements insensitive and below the belt.
Shilpa also claimed that Shivangi gets involved with the male leads of the television shows she works on. Referring to actor Kushal Tandon, she said, “Now, even Kushal Tandon is older than her if you look at the age difference, and she had an affair with him too.” The statement drew strong criticism, with many social media users accusing Shilpa of dragging Shivangi’s personal life into the game without any reason.
Apart from her comments, Shilpa also faced criticism for the way she treated Shivangi inside the house. Viewers pointed out moments where she told Shivangi not to speak to Harshad and later asked her to leave a room while she sat with other contestants. Those clips also went viral, with many fans calling Shilpa’s behavior controlling and disrespectful.
As the controversy grows, support for Shivangi Joshi continues to pour in across social media, with fans and fellow celebrities urging everyone to respect personal boundaries and avoid character attacks in the name of entertainment.
