Social media influencer Shreya Kalra has found herself at the centre of an online debate after referring to TV actors Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopda as a “flop” in one of the episodes of Netflix’s reality show, Lock Upp Season 2.
The remark quickly went viral on social media, with fans of the actress criticising Shreya Kalra for her statement and recalling her boyfriend Rishabh Jaiswal’s supporting role in Shivangi’s show.

Internet users recalled that Shreya’s boyfriend Rishabh Jaiswal had appeared in a supporting role in one of Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopda’s TV serials, Ye Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, arguing that it was unfair to label the actress a “flop” given their performances and industry recognition.
One Instagram user wrote, “Imagine calling Harshad & Shivangi ‘flops’ when your own boyfriend got a side role in a show where they had already played the LEADS. The math is not mathing. Sis really woke up and chose delusion over facts. The confidence? 100/100. The logic? Buffering.” Take a look below:

Several posts on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram questioned the basis of her statement. Bigg Boss 15 contestant Rajiv Adatia also reacted to Shreya’s “flop” remark and defended Shivangi Joshi. He took to his X handle and wrote, “Thanks Rajiv for the support honestly some people just talk for attention. Calling someone a flop doesn’t change facts or the audience love she already have. #shivangijoshi.”
Reacting to his X post, one user wrote, “Thanks Rajiv for the support honestly some people just talk for attention. Calling someone a flop doesn’t change facts or the audience love she already have. #shivangijoshi.” Another user added, “shreyas entire career is based off speaking about other people she’s literally soo desperate for any screentime.”
Meanwhile, Instagram users also compared Shreya’s remark about Shivangi Joshi and pointed out that Shreya herself had worked alongside Shivangi in a web series in a supporting role, while Shivangi played the lead. They said she should not forget that before making such comments.

I’m skilled. I’m not here to revive my career like them, that all my shows are flopping, so I’ll do a reality show and my audience will reconnect with me. Their career is dead, Shivangi’s last show was a flop.)
