A viral conversation in Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa lands Ram Kapoor in hot soup. The viral video reveals contestant Shreya Kalra alleging that the actor has been consistently breaching his personal boundaries, and with the help of many others watching the video, she seems to have their support.
A conversation between Shreya Kalra and Shilpa Shinde took place after the contestants voted for their team leaders and has since been widely shared online.
What’s in the video?
In the clip, Shreya is seen telling Shilpa that Ram Kapoor often ignores personal boundaries, adding that his behaviour makes her uncomfortable. ‘Maintain some boundaries. And if this time he tries to kiss me, I’m going to hold his mouth and be like. Ke bhai itna toh mera baap chummi nahi kara mujhe, ab mat kariyo,’ she says, adding, ‘Even my dad doesn’t kiss me this much. Don’t kiss me now.’
During the same conversation, Shreya also recalled another incident involving Ram Kapoor during a task performed by Shivangi Joshi.
She said, ‘When Shivangi was doing her task, Ram sir came very close to her. So Harshad said, ‘Don’t come so close.’ As soon as he moved away, he said, ‘Sorry.’ What sorry? That man comes and spits when he speaks. Say it to his face. He literally spat all over the place.’

What triggered Shreya Kalra’s remarks?
Shreya’s comments came after a task in which she and Ram Kapoor emerged as winners. Congratulating the duo, host Farah Khan said, ‘Ram, this is the second task that you’ve won.’ Pointing towards Shreya, Ram replied, ‘Because of her.’ He then kissed Shreya twice, first on her forehead and then on her cheek.
This was not the first time Ram had displayed such behaviour on the show. Earlier in the season, he also kissed contestant Varun Yadav, popularly known as Laila.
Fans support Shreya Kalra
The viral clip has triggered criticism of Ram Kapoor’s behaviour on social media, with several viewers saying his actions appeared inappropriate and crossed personal boundaries.
A X user wrote, ‘Ram Kapoor seriously doesn’t have any sense of personal boundaries. Laila, now Shreya. His cheap talks with Chamola & Pam (can’t say much as they both equally entertain it). He creeps me out!!!!’
Another X post read, ‘Shreya will always have my respect for this. It’s not easy to call out a TV face as big as Ram Kapoor on national TV. I hope she maintains this stance even on judgement day, but even if she doesn’t, she’ll still have my respect.’
