All eyes are on the upcoming reality show Lock Upp 2, and the excitement has only grown after the makers dropped an intriguing promo. The controversial captive reality show, this time hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, is set to premiere on June 27. As per the format, 14 celebrity contestants will be arrested and locked inside the jail for six weeks, where they will have to survive while revealing shocking truths from their lives under the tagline, ‘Sach ya Saza’.
Now, the name of the first confirmed contestant is finally out. Popular television actress Shivangi Joshi, best known for playing Naira in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, has signed up for Lock Upp 2.

From TV to reality
The actress recently wrapped up the Bhopal schedule of Heartbeats Season 2. She has also been part of shows like Begusarai, Balika Vadhu 2, and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4. Shivangi enjoys a massive fan following of over 10 million on Instagram. With her strong fanbase and acting chops, she is expected to bring major drama to the Lock Upp jail.
