Farah, the road to truth is never an easy one.

Every victory doesn't seem like one.

But the one who stares right in one's own eye,

his defeat turns into a victory.

Amazing, Riteish. You are absolutely right.

But now, we have arrived at Lock Upp's final frontier.

And there will be only one winner

who will complete their redemption journey

and win one crore rupees.

And at this stage of the game,

the only question is,

"Who is a worthy finalist?"

But whose journey will reach its final destination,

will be decided only by their truth.

This is the final Judgment Day

where everything is going to be brutal.

One misstep, and the game is over.

Let the final proceedings of the final Judgment begin.

Let's meet the inmates.

Looking forward.

-They're here. -Hello!

-Hello, ma'am. -Hello, sir.

-Hello, inmates! -Hi, sir.

We had told you

that only your truth can save you in this Lock Upp.

You faced all the challenges that came at you

with truth.

You all have proved

that owning the truth is not a sign of weakness, but strength.

Guys, you all have bared your souls

not only to us,

to everybody who's watching.

And people have loved you all for that.

But, Farah, redemption is not attained

just by uttering one's truth.

Redemption is attained

when a person prevents their past

from dictating their future.

But everyone is not so fortunate

to get a closure on what they've gone through.

This time, many truths were revealed in Lock Upp.

They were not just secrets, but the painful memories

that you had kept buried away from the world, your loved ones,

even yourselves.

Shreya, Shivangi, and Harshad,

you have broken years of silence

by owning your truth.

You've inspired millions of people.

Today, we want to acknowledge and reward

the courage that you've shown.

Hence, please come on stage, all three of you.

Shivangi, Shreya, Harshad.

You know, there are secrets people hide inside them till they die.

I'm sure, including Riteish and me.

And it is shocking and heartbreaking, Riteish, that out of 16 contestants,

five have the secret that they were molested.

The victim is ashamed of it.

They feel ashamed. They feel it's their fault, when actually,

the onus should be on the bloody molester.

Exactly.

The biggest fear is about how my dad would feel.

I don't want him to feel bad.

It…

It wasn't him and his fault. But…

Yeah.

I understand you, Harshad.

Actually, the society becomes progressive

only when the children in it feel safe.

When they can share the truth without fear

and when their parents listen to them

without any shame.

Harshad, you said one thing.

"I don't know how Papa will react."

Well, today, you'll know.

Because today,

he's here for his Harshad.

Papa.

-Mr. Chopda, welcome. -That's my dad.

-Namaste, sir. -Namaste, uncle.

Namaste.

I've hugged him in life, twice.

-What? -This is the second time.

I'm really-- You know, especially from the time

mummy ji wasn't with us,

he's the man of the house, the woman of the house,

he's the father of us, he's the mother of us.

He takes care of the kitchen, of all of us, I mean, he--

And I want to be like him. He's very social.

I can't talk. He--

Non-stop talking.

He will talk to anyone and everyone wherever he goes.

Mr. Chopda, were you aware?

Or you came to know after watching the show?

Nothing. I was not aware of anything.

Whatever happens, you should tell immediately.

-Yes. -Whatever it may be.

But, Papa, is everything good?

-Everything's okay? -Yes.

But you should have told us immediately.

We would have taken immediate action.

I was shocked to hear the name of the culprit the most.

Sir, what do you think might have been the reason

why Harshad could not tell you then?

-In those times, I used to be out a lot. -Okay.

And he was very frank with his mother.

It's not as if he couldn't talk to his mother.

He could have told her, or when I returned--

We never concealed anything in our family.

We used to be friends.

He might've been scared of me only till eight years of age.

After that, we were as friends.

If any such thing happens with anyone,

they should tell their parents immediately.

They're the best well-wishers and resolution-providers you can have.

It's important.

If something like this happens,

make sure to expose them,

no matter which position they are on.

Our silence is their power.

When we talk,

their strengths keep turning into weaknesses.

So, Harshad, I'm grateful

that you owned up to the truth in front of your father.

I'm sure your relationship

will inspire many parents and their children.

-Thank you for coming here, sir. -Thank you.

Thank you.

-Shreya. -I don't want to meet my parents.

Please don't do this.

Don't do this.

That's enough. Don't cry.

I love you, Mom.

It's okay. You're doing really well.

You're doing well.

We're proud of you.

God has blessed us with such a wonderful daughter.

We're truly blessed.

Mrs. Kalra.

Namaste.

She was afraid that if her secret came out, the whole family…

No, we're with her.

Shreya, why didn't you want your mom to come?

When I revealed my secret, I wasn't ready.

I wanted to protect it in this show for as long as I could.

I can still explain it to them once I'm out.

She's very weak. She's not like me.

I'm strong enough…

She seems pretty strong to me.

-God made me strong for her. -See?

Otherwise, I would've lost all courage.

When I saw her video just now,

I broke down and cried.

My husband was with me too.

He said, "If you cry, it'll only make her condition worse."

That's how mothers are, Shreya. They always come as a source of strength.

And this is the kind of relationship

where you're giving your mother strength,

while she's here supporting you.

Seeing your mother,

it's clear where your strength comes from.

Okay? You said your mom was weak,

but I think your mother is the strongest.

She has changed.

Okay, Mrs. Kalra. It was lovely to have you here.

I think when I said that, I was terrified

of how I'd tell my family and make them understand.

I think, after seeing my mom, I just feel very strong right now.

I think the burden I'd been carrying for all these years

is finally gone.

I just feel fearless.

Shivangi.

Yes.

We're beginning to understand

how you've stayed so strong despite keeping it all inside.

No matter how big the situation, you never lose your balance.

You always maintain your dignity.

It all stems from the confidence.

Thank you, sir.

The courage and support

your parents gave you back then.

Harshad, you showed your vulnerability,

and so did Ram. That became her strength.

Her strength, and all of yours, will now give a voice to others.

Shivangi, I'd like to invite the person

who stood by you with unwavering strength.

Oh God!

Thank you.

Don't cry.

Do you ever cry with Papa?

No, right?

Don't cry, child.

You're a brave girl.

You're a brave girl, right?

Dad wouldn't like to see you crying like this. Don't cry.

-How are you? -Stay blessed.

How are you?

All good?

-Namaste, auntie. -Namaste.

When something like this happens,

many children can't bring themselves to tell their parents.

When Shivangi told you about this,

at that time, what went through your mind?

How did you cope, and what did you do?

My first thought was that maybe I was the one at fault.

That I'd trusted a stranger and accepted him as my brother.

After that, I never left my children alone, not even for a moment.

I took them to school, picked them up, took them to dance class…

I was always with them.

I'd like to tell all parents this.

My children are so comfortable sharing everything with me.

If something happens to them,

they come immediately and say, "Mom, this happened to me."

But unfortunately, many parents today don't trust their own children.

They say, "It must've been your fault."

"That's why they did this to you."

I'd like to tell all parents,

please don't do that to your children.

Trust them.

Only if you trust and believe them

will they feel safe enough to share their joys and sorrows with you.

And I'm very proud of my daughter.

I feel I must've done something right

to be blessed with a daughter like her.

How sweet.

Both of us would say that you've set an example for every parent.

The way you stood by your daughter,

supported her, and cut ties with him was truly commendable.

Being a mother is a battle in itself,

and you have to be ready to fight it.

Shivangi, feeling better?

Yes, ma'am. That's exactly what I was thinking.

-Don't cry. It's okay. -I hadn't told Mom

I was going to reveal this, so I kept wondering what Dad would think.

They won't think anything of it.

People will ask Dad why he didn't tell them and who it was.

But I'm feeling good now.

Feeling good? Want to go home with your mom?

-No, right? -No.

Let's send Mom along, otherwise she'll go with you herself.

Thank you so much.

Shreya, Shivangi, and Harshad,

I'm grateful and thankful that you shared all of your stories with all of us.

Because of you, Harshad, I went home,

sat my children down,

and I told them that if anything ever happens,

they should feel free to tell me or Genelia without any hesitation.

Whatever happens, we will always be there for you.

So, it was a big learning. Thanks to all of you.

I think all of your stories deserved this closure,

and I'm so happy that you have got that closure.

And we're just so happy that we could be a part of your journey.

Thank you for sharing.

Yeah, your father, and your mother, and you mother.

Come here, your mother is so cute.

Your mom is really cute.

Your mom is very strong, bro.

Were we trauma bonding?

You all made everyone cry. We were all in tears.

-I've never seen you this happy. -Yes, me neither.

-Your face completely lit up. -I know.

You must've gotten such a great boost.

Stay happy like this. Just think of Dad walking alongside you.

All the time.

-Got it? -Yes.

-He's watching me. -Yeah.

But I'm so happy that I met her and she came.

But I was scared

because they didn't know that I was going to reveal it.

You were overthinking so much.

You see how worried I was,

wondering what they would think.

But they can understand too. I used to be like this all the time too.

I was worried about my mom

that she might blame herself whenever she remembered that incident.

-Inmates. -Yes, sir.

Lock Upp's audience has always appreciated

and loved those who have owned their truth.

Even today, they have voted for an inmate and given them

the power of Airtel Talktime.

And the name of the person they have chosen today is…

Shivangi.

Shivangi, you'll get uninterrupted talktime today.

You can say whatever you want to say.

No one will silence you.

Not even Harshad.

Let's go, Shivangi.

-I want to say something to both of you. -Okay.

We are all fans of your movies and your acting.

But I'm a fan of two of your dialogues from your real life,

and I've shared them with many people too.

One of them is that

love should become a habit, but after it becomes a habit,

the love in it should never decrease.

I just…

I've always loved this, and when I found out

that you were the host of this show, I wished I got a chance to tell you this.

-Thank you. -And the other dialogue was that

to become a husband like Riteish, you need a wife like Genelia too.

-Wow. -I also love that dialogue.

I'm a big fan of these two dialogues apart from your movies and your acting.

And, Farah ma'am, I really love you a lot. You know that.

Mom made you rajma last time,

this time I'll make it for you.

You love me, right? Why do you want to torture me?

And to everyone else here,

I'd like to say that I've learned a lot from all of you.

Everyone has so much courage.

I was just telling Ram sir that

I will sincerely pray for both your and Shilpa ma'am's families to unite as well.

And whenever that happens, sir, please call me first and tell me.

Because I'll genuinely pray for that.

I want to thank Netflix, for giving me such a big opportunity.

I'm feeling much better.

I don't think I've ever felt the way I feel right now in my life.

I feel lighter. I feel more confident.

And I'm good.

Shivangi, after hearing you,

I just want to say that your journey ends here.

The way you've given the speech…

-Lifetime achievement… -This isn't a lifetime achievement award.

It's a goodbye speech.

-I just said what I genuinely felt. -She's in a good mood today.

She said she's in a good mood.

Whenever your mood is good…

-No, no, no. -…ours gets ruined.

-We can't tolerate… -Leave it for today.

-…you being in such a good mood. -No, no.

Because from now on, the game is going to become even more lethal.

And there is no room for error.

Because today it will be decided

who will go to the Finale Week of Lock Upp.

Because today is Lock Upp's final Judgment Day.

And today, something will happen

that has never happened in this Lock Upp before.

As until now, your hearing takes place based on the entire week's performance.

We jailers secure one inmate,

and unfortunately, one inmate gets terminated from Lock Upp.

But today…

nothing like this will happen.

Only one round will be played today.

You will all be involved in it. All in.

This challenge can turn the whole game around.

Today, it is possible that among the four at risk inmates,

one, two, three,

or all four of you get terminated.

Anything can happen today. You will remember this Judgment Day.

Inmates, now that you got the first shock,

I shall introduce the second one as well.

Oh, dear…

Jury will definitely come today.

They will question you as well,

but will not save anyone.

-Their role this time is more dangerous. -So, guys, let's meet the jury.

She is such an actor whose film choices and life choices

create a social impact.

She is a very dear friend and she is obsessed with Lock Upp.

So, please welcome the very talented actress, Bhumi Pednekar.

I am so excited to be here.

All of you have entertained us immensely for the past few weeks. Thank you so much.

-Thank you. -Bhumi, welcome.

This discussion will go on, but before that,

I wish to welcome another person.

The poster girl of reinvention,

and binge watches Lock Upp on repeat mode,

the one and only, the extremely talented, and my friend, Huma Qureshi.

I think the highlight of this show is its concept,

and of course both of you guys,

-who are doing such a fantastic job. -Thank you.

-Because really… -We did not even pay her to say it.

I am so excited to take our conversation forward.

Today, we will have some tough discussions as well.

Inmates, today, you must answer the questions of our beautiful jury

with great caution.

Because the jury will listen to your answers and observe you.

That would play an important role during your termination.

-Let's start with Ram sir. -Hi.

-Hi. Hi, sir. How are you? -I am good. How are you?

Very well. I have to tell you

that you were so passionate about your issues.

You took a stand and were always there fighting for others and for what's right.

What happened in the past one week?

It seems as if you want to be in the top two, but do not want to win.

-What has happened? -So…

It is very demotivating for the audience outside,

because we feel why are you not playing the game?

When I came here in the first week,

I never imagined to stay here for so long.

I didn't think I had the strength to stay this long.

Unlike the rest of them, I was not prepared to try this hard.

I then started using my brain a bit,

because if you have to stay longer in this show,

you have to find a way to make things work in our favour.

I don't like to play by fighting. So, I was trying to play mentally.

I was trying to play diplomatically.

I have tried all of that which you will see for sure.

-Ram sir, hi. How are you? -Hi, Huma.

Guys, whenever we used to shoot, he was the one person, I think,

who'd give his heart, blood and soul to it,

but wanted to go home as soon as the shoot wraps up.

Ram sir, are you the same even now?

So, here's the honest truth.

After seeing Gautami,

-I wanted to go home with her. -Something changed, right?

-Yes. -Yes. My mind was there. However,

she told me in my ear that my children are addicted to the show,

and they've sent a message saying I'm not allowed to come back home.

So, now, I want to try and stay longer for my children.

You need to find the reason within you. It's not your wife or kids.

-Do you want to do this? -Yes, ma'am.

Let's talk to Shilpa next.

-Hi. -How're you, Shilpa ji?

-I'm doing great. -Your lift our mood too.

You are such an opinionated woman.

You always take a stand.

You are so boisterous.

But why does it feel like now you strive for nothing

but to create unnecessary controversies?

Why does it feel like you are a catalyst, Shilpa ji?

I always try to understand others' points

before putting forth my own.

But I have had to suffer…

Shreya and I shared a good bond.

A minor misunderstanding…

I don't even think it was a misunderstanding.

But…

If I fail to convince others,

and they just don't understand,

I can't really make them understand forcibly.

Shilpa, anyone who comes here,

they all praise your gameplay.

"Shreya, you've gone viral." Does she make you feel insecure?

I don't feel anything like that.

But she now believes that it is The Shreya Kalra Show.

She now wants to impose her opinions on others.

She has become adamant and haughty.

That's what has happened.

I want to add something to this.

You are such an amazing player.

You have been through the trials and tribulations of life.

Use all the experience now.

You must abandon this self-destructive journey.

Your friendship, your sisterhood was a great highlight.

When things go south,

you have to make sure not to abandon that person.

I had watched Madhuri ji's episode.

What happened with Shreya,

as an audience, I think, in a way, you have done the same to her.

-I wanted to say this to Shreya too. -Yes, ma'am.

Why were you so upset

over someone not informing you before revealing your secret?

You said you weren't prepared.

You lost that privilege when you outed Chamola.

You don't even deserve asking this.

Ma'am, I didn't mind Chaudhary or someone else not telling me.

But Chaudhary said in Shilpa ji's room

on the previous night…

Actually, she never did.

She said, "I haven't decided it yet. I'll decide it in the morning."

But Chaudhary told me

that she had told my friend…

Chaudhary's playing you, and you're getting played.

I was ready to sort it out with Shilpa ji as well,

but her reaction told me that she didn't want to.

Shreya, you always think, "You don't understand me."

"I came to you, and you left."

She didn't leave owing to that.

-She didn't approve of your tone. -Right.

You just don't get it.

Whenever two people converse,

their tones determine the fate of the conversation.

I am 29 years old now. This is my normal tone.

This is how I talk to my friends and family.

Sir, I have tried my best with her too…

I wrote a letter to make my point. She was sick.

I thought she would behave better toward me

if I showed the right gesture.

But she used the letter to wipe the wall, tore it up, and dumped it.

I want you two to be friends again.

It was very entertaining for me.

We too.

I am trying, ma'am.

But she insults me every time, walk away from the conversation,

and makes rude gestures.

She was fighting over trivial matters.

She wasn't ready to understand.

Why didn't you make me understand? I'm still very young.

Didn't you just say you are 29?

Whatever it is, she wanted to create a controversy…

-Did I? -One minute--

You expect transparency from your friends.

But she can't ever be transparent.

She told me, "If I had said

that Akanksha Chaudhary came to my room, it would've been backbiting."

-As if that's all we do. -Correct.

-So you should have said it. -That's true.

She's become friends with Yogesh and Akanksha now.

I just don't get it.

Shreya talks to others to serve her own interests.

But I can't talk to those people

-I really bond with. -What interest did it serve?

How did I use them?

How did my conversations with you help me?

-Everyone knows-- -How has it benefitted me?

They have never supported me.

They didn't save me even once.

How does talking to them help me?

Isn't it natural for me to talk to others while we are here together?

I can't keep to myself all the time.

They say I manipulate others to my advantage.

But are they really so gullible?

I told them my secret and asked them to do it,

they said I wanted sympathy.

What do I do then? Lose my mind?

You make people mad.

If this is what you perceive about me,

I would rather just do it.

I just want to say this, Shilpa…

This is my opinion.

I feel you have embarked

on a strange, downward, self-destructive journey.

You don't need to do this.

Focus on yourself. Play your game.

Don't take this destructive path

or you will suffer.

But if you want to do this, nobody can stop you.

We can just tell you what we see from outside.

All right.

Let's proceed.

Let's talk to Pam now.

How are you?

I'm fine. I'm in the middle of these both.

-The hot seat. -Yes.

I want to ask you this, Pamala.

Do you think Varun is your friend?

No. Not anymore.

Okay.

Was he ever?

-Yes. -Was he?

I think, after the workshop incident,

things were never the same again.

Pam, tell me something.

You just said you two aren't friends anymore.

So, why do you still have expectations?

What Varun does irritates me,

and that's why I end up fighting with him.

When he speaks,

especially when he is joking,

taunting or making sly moves,

it irritates me.

Tell me something, Pamala. He isn't your friend now.

Is there anyone who is your friend here?

All right, I will ask everyone else…

I'm asking all the inmates…

-What do you think-- -I think only Chamola is my friend,

and Shreya now.

Those who agree, show your hands…

Is Pamala just pushing a narrative?

Just a narrative.

Except Shreya and Chamola, everyone agrees.

Seven people agree.

What do you have to say to that, Pamala?

That's their opinion.

Everyone is in a group here.

We're playing for ourselves. This is not a group that takes sides.

There's only one winner at the end of the day.

Then why would you expect somebody else's friend to save you then?

Pamala, Ram came to explain it to you, and for a change,

he was talking sense.

He said, "It's not a gender issue."

It's not girl versus boy.

-Yes. -It's not about targeting.

Riteish and I have said it week after week

that the girls are driving this show.

You changed the narrative and said, "Oh, my God! I'm scared, I feel unsafe

because Ram is coming at me." Would he have hit you?

He came very aggressively at me, and chased me from the red door

-all the way down to the yard. -You know his intention was not that.

We spoke about it yesterday, we sorted it out,

but it was very aggressive.

I'd agree there. Ram's approach was slightly aggressive.

But you said

that he was about to hit you.

-"He was about to hit me." -I said he could have.

-His face was very close. -"He could have."

-Actually-- -Not for a few seconds, but for minutes.

I understand.

Someone chasing you… I'm telling him I don't want to hear it or speak.

I'm walking away,

-and he's chasing me constantly. -We agree on that.

-He's in my face! -But--

Pamala, I'm talking right now. Thank you so much!

I agree that when he approached you,

he was aggressive.

But it doesn't mean

he wanted to hit you.

You pushed this narrative of being a helpless victim.

It was not appropriate.

I want to ask Chamola. You had no idea what Varun had said.

You became so defensive without even knowing what happened.

I wanted to intervene

when Ram sir was being aggressive…

Yogesh and I were present there. We separated them from each other.

But the moment Pam said that he wanted to attack her,

I was the first one to stop her, and ask her not to say that.

I went running to Ram sir

and told him that this act might tarnish his public image.

Because she is accusing you of something you didn't do.

I just told him not to fight

for someone else's character certificate.

I said, "It is about Varun, you don't have to get involved."

I agree with Riteish and everyone who said to me

I was too aggressive when I came to you,

but let's not make it about me.

You girls have given him some labels

which are really really heavy, guys!

Really heavy! Chamola, you are included in this.

You guys, even when you were speaking to me,

Pamala, the stuff you said about Varun, "his audience ruins girls."

Are you serious? Do you wanna say this on 116 cameras?

You can ruin this man for life by saying that.

-Ma'am, can I? -Go ahead, Varun.

I told her that she is friendly with me.

I am friendly only to the ones who approach me.

They have given me a tag… What is it called?

-Misogynist. -Misogynist, whatever.

It's not at all true. Even my family is watching.

I don't want to say it…

I genuinely respect Pam

but she also gifted me her bra and all.

I would still say no.

But I have never interfered or used her in my fights.

My whole family watches it.

I am defeated every time by the same tag.

She plays the woman card. I am fine, I am being funny,

but this is…

-Chill, bro! -Chill!

Pam, this was what I was talking about. If you use words like "misogynist"

on someone and tag him with that,

this is what happens. He might not say much

-but he gets hurt too. -Okay, what about

when he told the visitor, Rishabh,

to touch his feel. Do you think that was correct?

He'd said something too. That's between them.

Actually, there's one rule for one and one rule for another.

He is trying to look good, but he says other things to other people.

You don't have to explain everything.

You know, you were upset that you lost,

but you took your anger out by revealing his secret.

Pamala, since the show has started,

Farah, myself, and the audience, we have been extremely fond of you.

You had a positive charm,

you used to be funny and making merry, that was great.

You used to play the game and get angry too,

that was also great.

But the way you exposed Varun's secret…

You exposed his secret,

but I can understand your game plan. No problem.

But I feel that you discussed that topic

in a very ridiculing way.

I don't think one can appreciate that.

The point we are trying to tell you, Pam,

that when you lose any task, you lose your focus,

you lose yourself,

and your ugly side comes out,

which is not good to see because we have seen a very lovely Pam.

You know? So, if you can control that…

-Food for thought. -Noted.

Varun, I have two things to tell you.

Okay?

You were not wrong in the task, you were playing your game

and Aarush too.

Okay, but you don't tell your friends…

when they are wrong.

When Aarush entered the house as your visitor,

the first thing he said about Sufi…

He said that the "princess" hurled abuses at you.

Is this the right word, you feel?

That "princess" swore at you but you didn't even respond.

-Who did? -That Sufi called you a fucker.

-I didn't hear it. -He needs to be dealt with.

Did you tell him not to use that word?

You are a different person inside, but when your friends come,

you take so much peer pressure that you feel the need to prove…

That you're cool.

Ma'am, it's not about being cool.

I was so good to Sufi,

but he abused me behind my back,

so Aarush was angry

because no matter how nice you are to them,

they abuse you behind your back.

I was in that zone.

-I still controlled myself… -That's what I am saying

that you were not wrong in your task,

but before that, not objecting to Aarush…

After going out, I will…

You must learn it first and then they will follow.

-Ma'am, I couldn't think at that moment. -You should be mindful of what to say.

I am promising you, I will talk about it in my vlogs

about the gay community at lengths, about my opinions before

and how it cannot be everyone's opinion.

I'll say, they're chill and we can even share food with them.

-There's no problem. -What?

Wait, wait, what are you saying?

-You're putting a foot in your mouth. -Yeah.

Please change your perspective, broaden your spectrum.

These are orthodox thoughts,

you should have corrected your friend right there.

Ma'am, I am not talking about my views but people's.

I'm perfect fine here. I didn't have a problem before, nor I do now.

But I am talking about people's opinions I have heard.

I didn't have any problem.

This way of discussing in your everyday conversation

about "them".

Don't treat them separate, this is a very inclusive society,

a very inclusive show, and that's how it should be.

Listen to me, bro. Even I am from Delhi,

-and I know how we talk. -Yes, ma'am.

Bhumi told you about broadening your spectrum,

so there's nothing wrong about being desi and cool.

We all are like that,

but about someone's sexuality,

about someone's gender

be it a woman or a man,

if you taunt them…

Especially now, because you should know where you are.

You are on the biggest show of the country right now.

Everyone is watching you.

Whatever you say will remain

-with you forever. -We have told him this a hundred times.

So, please broaden your thinking, pal!

-I am so sorry, ma'am. -We are cool,

but that doesn't mean, you belittle someone

or insult them or talk about sharing food with them.

No, all of you are right.

Then what did you mean?

Please listen, ma'am. I am not talking about myself.

I am just talking about what I have heard outside.

I have no thoughts like that.

That's why, I was good with Sufi. I am talking about the people outside.

I am talking about them.

I am fine with it, I don't have any problem.

It's a good thing that you are explaining.

Meet me after the show, we need to talk.

Done, ma'am. Done!

-Done, I would… -This is not the way.

Riteish sir and ma'am have seen me,

I have no problem at all with Sufi.

I have also got clarification about everything from Sufi.

So, who do you want to talk to next?

I think Akanksha Chaudhary.

What can you do to win?

I have been thinking the same everyday.

For example, when Jannat came,

I had to choose a card.

When I chose the wrong card, my first reaction was

that my fans will be disappointed and think that I could have gotten safe.

I think about them every time

because they had told me before coming here

that I must win!

So lovely! I can see you are passionate!

You mean it, you're honest.

But where was this desperation for the last two days?

When I came here first

and did whatever I did,

I wasn't thinking much.

Are you now?

Since Suzanne came back…

-Yes, correct. -…I started thinking again…

I think, she showed me how I was seen outside.

"This fame has gone to your head. Everyone can see it."

"I came here to make you understand."

And during that task, she was explaining her point.

But even then,

she wasn't here to sort things out.

That was obvious.

-That's not true. -No, no, no.

I just want to interrupt. Akanksha, I really think you're wrong.

If winning this show means so much to you, why let your ego get in the way?

Ma'am, winning matters but not at the cost of my self-respect.

I was her best friend for six months.

-I know her. -Best friend for six months?

Yeah.

What's this six-month BFF thing?

How long have we all been friends? All of us?

-You and me, twelve years. -Twelve years.

-Since seven-eight years. -I've known you for seven-eight years.

I've known Bhumi since…

Bhumi auditioned me.

Yeah, as an actor. Now Bhumi is such an accomplished actress herself.

I genuinely want to understand.

What hurt your ego so badly in six months?

You became best friends and now you're sworn enemies?

Akanksha, if you had put your ego aside, she would've played for you.

You know about Vikas and Shilpa, right?

When he came,

he carried himself with dignity.

Their rivalry is so famous.

Everybody in the country knows about it.

If they can sort it out, they can conduct themselves.

-They didn't sort it out. -And actually…

I would say Shilpa can handle…

If she can use it correctly…

That's what I told her.

…then why can't you?

Why can't you figure it out,

and use it to your advantage?

It'll only benefit you. Why are you not able do that?

The first thing Riteish said today was,

"Don't let your past affect your future."

But nobody's listening. Everyone's stuck in the past.

So, inmates, the Lock Upp files are closed.

Now the at risk inmates,

Ram, Akanksha, Shilpa and Pam,

it's time to find out who gets terminated…

or how many.

That's not in our hands.

Today, among the at risk inmates,

who gets terminated…

and who gets secured…

won't be decided by the jury alone. Your voices will matter too.

Each inmate must name two people

they want to terminate today.

The secure inmates will tell us

which two people they don't want to see in Finale Week.

Go to the locker room one by one

and register your vote.

Then meet us in the arena.

I feel the ones who deserve to leave are Pam and Shilpa ji.

The two names I'd like to terminate are Pam and Shilpa ji.

So, Huma and Bhumi,

your voice will matter too

in deciding who gets terminated today.

That's a tough one.

Write down the names of the two inmates

you don't want to send in Finale Week.

Pam, and my second vote is Shilpa ma'am.

My first vote is Ram ji. Second is Akanksha Chaudhary.

Thankfully, we don't have to decide.

-I swear. -Honestly,

-I want them to get all the trolling. -It's tough.

Both of them.

No, it's not about trolling.

We're very attuned to what people want. We're the voice of the people.

Okay. My secret ballot is in the box.

Right.

You've watched it all. You deserve a say too…

that you don't let someone reach the finale.

My first vote is Ram sir.

My second vote will be Akanksha Chaudhary.

Ram sir and Pam.

-Thank you so much for coming today. -Thank you.

I knew I wouldn't become gang leader.

But at least your support could've made me feel better

that maybe I've connected with you for a little bit.

Seeing that support would've meant a lot.

That's why I said, "I don't understand him."

"Sometimes he's really nice, and then suddenly he flips."

-But she apologized-- -One minute…

Now that he kisses me,

it makes me uncomfortable because I can't understand his nature.

I never meant it with any wrong intention. I never felt unsafe.

And I never meant that he was trying to do something to me.

I never said that.

-I just wanted to clarify that. -Thank you for that.

Gautami said that to you

because there's a controversy going on about you and me.

It is, "Does Ram Kapoor make her feel uncomfortable, physically?"

That's why she felt she should say sorry to you.

I told her not to, there's nothing to apologise for.

I've never felt unsafe with you. I've never felt something like that.

As if, physically, you're trying to do something to me.

I've never said that on this show.

-Nothing about that. -I appreciate it.

I wished to make it clear that I've never said such a thing here,

so that it doesn't bother you.

YOGESH AKANKSHA C.

What's happened, man?

I want to say this to Shilpa ji on camera.

Today, whether you leave or I do,

I had lots of fun playing with you.

Because you fucked me.

-What is that? -Right. When did that happen?

Why am I sitting in the middle of this? I want to get up.

Shilpa ji, this was not expected from you.

Shut up. Don't spark trouble.

What do we call this friendship, man?

-What do we call this love? -Wait. Hold on.

Listen, guys. This is Judgment Day today.

I might leave, or maybe she will. And she--

I'm not flying in the air.

I still can't believe

that I used to watch Kasamh Se,

that I used to watch Bade Achhe Lagte Hain,

that the one whom I used to admire is this man.

I'm saying that…

it has been a huge challenge playing opposite her.

My head…

She's really screwed with it.

I swear. She's really screwed with my head.

I am going to miss somebody screwing with me this badly,

and we have this one connection

that both of us are not close to our own mothers.

And that's a different connection.

So, I'm saying, in a weird way,

I'll think of her.

We need a hug. Hug. Hug.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Ram ji and Ekta--

Ram ji and Shilpa Shinde hugged in this house.

-I mean it from the bottom of my heart. -I'm feeling dizzy.

And there's no manipulation in this. I gain nothing from it.

Inmates, this is your final obstacle

on the final Judgment Day.

Today, how many inmates will be terminated?

We don't know that either.

Maybe no one will be terminated.

Or maybe, all four could be terminated.

At risk inmates, these four paths have your names on them.

All paths lead to a centre point.

And that is your Secured Zone.

Your goal is to get here from the starting point.

The inmate who does that is secured.

You'd think, "What's so difficult in this?"

The difficulty is that,

along all these paths,

on some blocks,

landmines are laid out.

On which step would a landmine blast?

No one knows.

The public jury and secure inmates had to pick two at risk inmates

to vote against

that they didn't want to see in the Finale Week.

Every vote of theirs

is a landmine planted here.

Which means that in this whole arena,

16 landmines have been laid out.

But where they are, and on which step,

neither can we see it, nor can all of you.

Only the audience sitting at home knows where the landmines are.

As you can see, there are two sections on every step.

If you step on the section that has the landmine,

it will blast the moment you land on it.

And you will be terminated on the spot.

Eliminate.

So your goal is to not step on the landmines

and reach the secured zone.

And let me tell you

that in the whole task, at any step,

you can get a shield for yourself.

And that shield is your secret.

If you can buy the shield, buy it.

Only once.

But it's very important that the secret is worthy.

Is it worthy or not?

The secured inmates will decide that.

From now on, every step of yours

could be your last in this game.

Play sensibly.

Leave it up to your fate and to the inmates.

-So, are you ready? -Yes, sir.

Love you guys.

Good luck.

Before taking a step, does anyone want to reveal their secret

and use a shield?

-Ram? -No.

Pam?

Akanksha?

Shilpa?

Okay, everyone take the first step.

Go ahead. It's all good.

-They're safe! They're safe! -God! They're safe!

Now let's see if you made the right move.

-So we'll know now? -We'll know now.

Oh, no.

Holy shit!

Shit!

-Oh, fuck! -Oh my god.

-Did it go off? -No, one on the side.

You're safe.

-You're safe. -Pam, you're safe.

You took the right step.

Pamala, that means you definitely got one vote for termination.

Oh God, it's scary.

Before taking the next step,

anyone want to reveal a secret

to get a shield or not?

-No. -No.

Okay, everyone, you can take the next step.

Oh God!

Got it.

I think Pam's gone.

When I entered the show,

I wasn't as scared

as I am now.

Yeah, me too.

Holy shit!

You're safe.

Pamala, you took the right step again.

Shilpa, this was your first vote,

but you took the left step.

Who's it?

Who's voted?

For the next step, anyone want to reveal their secret and take the shield?

Pamala?

-No. -Chaturvedi?

-Chaudhary. -Chaudhary.

Ma'am!

There's nothing chatur about her.

She's Chaudhary.

He really manipulated them well.

No one voted for him.

-So far. -If you survive, come inside!

Half the journey is still left.

-Forget the hugs now. -Forgive me, please!

You can take the next step.

-She's gone? -She's gone.

Pamala,

you took the wrong step.

Oh my God.

Pamela, that was the third vote for you.

She's flying back to Dubai now.

Pam, you got a total of six votes.

So there were another three to dodge.

The odds were against you.

You made the wrong move in the third step.

Unfortunately, you're terminated from Lock Upp.

Okay.

You voted for her too?

It was a good game, I enjoyed it.

I learned a lot.

And I'm happy I had this experience.

And we loved having you here, Pamala.

You came into your redemption journey with the tag of a kaleshi.

By staying here,

you have completely proved

that you are not a kaleshi at all.

Aw, thank you so much.

I loved it too. I gained a lot of experience.

And now I know, when I go back,

I'll appreciate everything.

And, everyone, you guys are amazing.

Make sure you come shining strong and win.

-Thank you, Pam. -Thank you, Pam.

-Love you, miss you. -Pam!

-Love you, Pam. Bye! -See you soon.

-Bye. -Bye.

Make sure you guys kick ass.

-Yes. -Each of us would like to.

Take care of Chamola for me, Shreya.

We'll send her next.

It's a joke.

There's been one termination.

Three remain.

Anyone want to reveal their secret for the shield? Chaudhary?

Shilpa?

I'd like to buy a shield.

Tell us, Ram. What's your secret?

I've worked for 27 years.

I've done so many films.

I've done so much. Yet my identity…

comes from one show.

Bade Achhe Lagte Hain.

I've kept one secret from the world.

Even my wife doesn't know.

During Bade Achhe Lagte Hain,

I went through the worst depression of my life.

I received so much love because of my weight.

And I was talked about so much that,

in ratings,

I became the highest-rated star for a while.

And I kept gaining more and more weight.

My doctors told me…

I'd become so unhealthy that…

I can die in six months.

I could've had a diabetic stroke

because I was on insulin three times a day.

My blood sugar was 400, 500, even over 600.

And I worked 14 hours a day.

I didn't want to do anything about it

because I was getting so much love and making so much money.

How could I walk away from all that?

I became a very, very ugly person.

I'd show up six hours late for shoots.

I'd drink on set.

I spoke to people…

very rudely.

I became a monster.

An absolute monster.

Finally, the show ended because of me.

I'd become such a human being, that I'm ashamed of myself.

Whatever happens, guys, you have to communicate.

If I didn't have kids, I would have done what Harshad had done.

When you have kids,

we live for our kids.

We don't have the right to stop our lives because we're living for them.

That's the only thing that saved me.

It's the only reason I'm alive today.

And today, after so many years, it's been over 10 years, today I…

I'm very happy as a human being.

Gautami and my children are also going to be finding out this right now.

I'm sorry, guys.

That's all. That's my secret.

Thank you, Ram.

-But before we move forward… -Thank you.

…I just want to ask all the inmates

if they think this secret is worthy of granting him a shield?

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Thank you, guys.

Ram, we appreciate you telling us such a dark secret of yours,

and you truly deserve this shield.

Thank you, guys. Thank you.

Ram, go ahead and take your next step.

You have the shield.

So even if you step on a mine, you'll still be safe.

-Luck. -Yes, luck.

Fuck yeah!

-You got lucky! Without that shield… -Ram.

…you'd have been terminated just now.

Dad, is this you?

This was your first vote.

-Dodged it! -Which one was it?

Right next to you! You dodged it!

This was the first vote against you.

Take your next step.

-Nice! Safe again. -Yeah.

-You are safe. -Dodge number two!

-Akanksha, right step again. -You did it.

That was your second vote.

Shilpa ji,

no blast. You're safe.

Yeah!

So far, all three of you

have two votes stacked against you.

Before we move forward,

Shilpa and Akanksha,

do you want a shield?

I can take it now, but not after this, right?

-After this, you can't. So go for it. -I can't do it after this?

-You've two more chances. -I'll save it for final step then.

-Shilpa? -No.

Okay.

Take your next step.

Shilpa, whether you took the right step or not,

let's see.

-You're safe. It was this one. -I was praying with every step.

Shilpa, look how many people have voted against you.

One more vote, but you still survived.

Akanksha, let's see.

Holy shit!

You should've just taken the shield, man.

Akanksha. Akanksha.

You took the wrong step and ended up on a landmine.

Unfortunately…

-Akanksha, I wish you'd taken the shield. -…you're terminated.

Farah and I really wish

you had used one of your secret shields.

Aakanksha, why didn't you use your secret shield?

Those were your lifelines,

and right when you needed it most,

you didn't use your secret.

You played well, Akanksha.

Honestly, this doesn't even feel real.

I truly believed in my heart

that I'd make it out safe.

But I think

I gave this game everything I had.

I made some good friends.

Some friends taught me a lot of things.

I mean, this was my dream.

Like I said on day one as well,

I was inches away on my last show too.

I was literally two steps away.

Only two days were left. And…

I couldn't win.

After coming back out of the secret room,

I realized I let my anger get the better of me

and went way too far.

Despite everything I heard about myself in that secret room, I decided…

I wouldn't get angry at all and would go back with a lot of control.

And once again, I fell short by just two steps.

You've played very well, darling.

I would like to tell my secret that I was about to say.

Okay.

I was going to take part in a pageant.

To participate, I needed around one or two lakhs

to buy garments for me,

for training fees, and whatever else.

And, we didn't have that kind of money. My parents couldn't afford it, obviously.

So then I thought…

So there was this

one very influential person.

I mean, I don't want to give full details because he's a huge name.

-Sure. -I knew him for many years,

because he had come as a judge in our pageants before.

So I reached out to him because he has helped

a lot of people financially in pageants.

And I asked him if he could just help me financially for two months

so that I can get through this pageant.

I offered to work off the debt by helping him

in his line of work as I've all these degrees.

I've done engineering, I've good speaking skills, everything.

So I said I'll work for him for one or two months like that.

I requested him to give me the money as I had urgent need right now.

He didn't hesitate and agreed instantly,

and asked me to meet him at his place.

So I went over. It wasn't my first time at his house either.

I'd been to events before with my mentors and others.

But when I went that time,

he was there.

He came toward me to hug me.

But then, he didn't hug me.

He pushed me like this.

And he grabbed me.

After that,

he wouldn't take his hand off me.

He was a very old man.

So I grabbed his hand and pushed him away.

Then he sat down. After he sat down, he said,

"It's been a year. Good to see you've finally grown up."

"I saw you when you came here a year ago too."

"Your thinking was so backward."

"If you'd agreed to be with me back then, look where you'd be today."

"You'd be acting here. You'd have this project."

"Right now no one's giving you work."

"Now that you've come, I'm offering you this much money."

"But in return, you'll have to have sex with me."

He had the whole timeline planned out.

"You'll have to do it

five or six times a month."

And I said, "Sir, I didn't know."

"If I had known, I probably wouldn't have come."

"I can't do that." Then he said,

"I thought after a year, you'd changed the way you think."

"I thought you'd think like modern girls."

"But you're still stuck with those old ideas."

"You'll regret this so much two years from now

for turning down the money."

"And nothing works in this industry without that."

"Because you are a nobody."

And then six months later,

I was a part of a very big show.

One year later, I'm standing on one of the biggest stages.

-So yeah. I turned him down back then. -But this is only the beginning.

Yeah.

-Yeah. -Akanksha, I hope he's watching this show.

And I hope he sees where you are today.

No, this is really important.

First of all, you stood up for yourself.

I think your story

will inspire a lot of young women your age

who are in this field.

Farah, I completely agree with you.

Whoever he is,

I hope he's watching this show.

He should know

that even after turning all of that down,

someone can still reach a platform this big through hard work

and stand here with courage.

Well done.

Chaudhary!

And, Akanksha, your thinking is not old-fashioned at all.

Your thinking is right.

I'm proud of you.

We are very proud of you, Akanksha.

Thank you.

It's not easy to admit all this on such a big stage.

That old man deserves a slap.

Why are you crying now?

Why are you backing away now?

It's okay.

I'm proud of you for your secret.

I barely got permission to come here.

Will you tell me later who he was?

I will.

We'll deal with him once we're out.

Go win it.

I'll beat you if someone else wins.

I'll try my best.

Don't cry the way you were crying earlier.

Don't cry when you get home.

I'll cry a little.

Don't cry.

Go on now.

Akanksha, three votes were cast against you.

If you had picked this shield,

you would've been secure.

But unfortunately, you took the wrong step.

And you are terminated.

Thank you so much, sir and ma'am.

-Thank you, Akanksha. -You forgave me for every mistake…

-I made. -We love you, Akanksha.

Good luck for your future and your journey.

-Love you, Chaudhary. -Love you.

-Do well in your life. -Love you, baby.

For your loved ones, for people you hate,

-just do well in life. -Bye.

-Bye, my darling. -Bye.

Don't cry too much.

The coin is kept outside, eat something.

Shilpa, you only have one chance left.

This is it. Would you like to use your secret shield?

Ram, take the next step, please.

Shilpa, take the next step.

No blast. You are safe.

She is safe.

She is safe.

My God, Shilpa. You are a cat with nine lives.

One more vote.

Four votes have been cast against you. Still, you're standing here.

Ram, your last and final step.

Shilpa…

Let's see whether you both become secure,

both get terminated,

or only one of you gets terminated.

Ram first.

-Oh my God. -Congratulations, Ram.

Welcome to Finale Week.

-We made it. -You're secured.

Good luck. Good luck, Shilpa.

Ram, you used your secret at the right time.

Shilpa, you're safe.

Look at this.

Congratulations. Welcome to Finale Week.

-Ram, Shilpa, well done. -It was fun.

Shilpa, four votes were cast against you.

Yet you survived.

Akanksha had three votes against her.

She had to leave.

The two of you are secure and make it to Finale Week.

-Congratulations. And your band… -Green.

What am I looking at?

Inmates, you all look very happy.

Perhaps you've forgotten

that Finale Week is still ahead.

From here on, the journey will be so difficult.

It won't be a journey.

It'll be suffering.

The ground beneath your feet

may slip away.

But remember this too. Whoever wins here

will complete their redemption journey.

And they'll also win…

-one crore. -One crore.

So, one crore is just a few days away.

One week to go, guys. Keep your eye on the prize.

And now, please go back to the Lock Upp.

We'll see you next week.

Can we break your rules or no?

If Farah's here, you can break the rules.

But when I am here, I'll break all of you.

Dialogue.

Bye. Thank you.

Welcome to the Lock Upp, Daawat-e-Jung.

Today, all of you are locked inside this cage.

This is a 60-minute timer.

Before the timer hits zero,

I want only one inmate left inside this cage.

That person will be our first finalist.

Everyone knows what's in their heart.

-I am not going. -No one's going.

One person has to go.

If I'm ready to go first, who's willing to go after me?

We'll decide that among ourselves.

No matter what happened,

it always came back to Shreya.

That's a very fair point of view. Then you go.

Show was not just about fighting.

The clock is ticking.

Please, time's running out. I have to send both of them too.

Why are you doing this? Why are you using reverse psychology?

It's a surprise dish. You all decide who should get the dish.

I wanna be the finalist. I wanna fucking win this show.

I'm not giving it to anybody. Don't try to convince me.

-I don't agree with you. -I don't care.

Congratulations. You are the first finalist of Lock Upp.
