The latest episode of Lock Upp 2 saw one of Dheeraj Dhoopar’s toughest days inside the house. Known for maintaining his composure even during heated situations, the actor found himself involved in multiple confrontations throughout the episode. From disagreements with Ram Kapoor, Shreya, and Shilpa to an unexpected fallout with his closest friend inside the house, Shivangi Joshi, it was a day that tested both his patience and emotions.
While Dheeraj appeared unfazed by most of the arguments, it was his misunderstanding with Shivangi that clearly affected him the most. Soon after the task ended, he decided to address the issue and have an honest conversation with her.
Dheeraj Dhoopar takes the first step to clear the misunderstanding
Rather than letting the disagreement linger, Dheeraj approached Shivangi for a one-on-one conversation after the task.
During their discussion, he explained that despite what had happened during the game, there was never any personal animosity towards her. He urged Shivangi to look beyond the emotions of the task and understand the intention behind his decisions instead of judging him solely based on that moment.
The conversation reflected Dheeraj’s desire to protect a friendship he clearly values inside the Lock Upp house.
Shivangi Joshi admits she felt hurt
Although Shivangi listened to Dheeraj, she made it clear that the incident had genuinely upset her.
According to Shivangi, she felt that Dheeraj chose to prioritise Sufi over her during the task, something she hadn’t expected from someone she considered one of her closest friends inside the house.
In essence, Shivangi was expressing that the issue wasn’t about the game itself—it was the feeling of being sidelined by a trusted friend that hurt her the most.
While the conversation helped both contestants express their feelings, the emotional distance between them wasn’t completely resolved.

Dheeraj’s concern for his friendships stands out
Despite spending much of the episode dealing with confrontations involving other housemates, Dheeraj’s immediate effort to resolve things with Shivangi did not go unnoticed.
Instead of waiting for time to heal the situation, he chose to initiate the conversation himself, hoping to prevent a misunderstanding from growing further.
The moment also highlighted his bond with both Shivangi and Sufi, showing that he values his relationships inside the house even when game dynamics become complicated.
Will Dheeraj and Shivangi rebuild their friendship?
With emotions running high and relationships constantly evolving, the future of Dheeraj and Shivangi’s friendship remains uncertain.
Their candid conversation marked the first step towards reconciliation, but whether it will be enough to restore the trust between them is something only the coming episodes can reveal.
As Lock Upp 2 moves forward, viewers will be watching closely to see whether this temporary rift strengthens their bond or changes their equation inside the house forever.
