The reality show ‘Lock Upp’ Season 2 witnessed contestant Apoorva Makhija voicing her displeasure about Ram Kapoor repeatedly kissing fellow contestant Shreya Kalra during tasks. In a ‘Truth or Lie’ challenge, Apoorva had the secret task of verifying answers from Ram Kapoor and Varun Yadav, known as Laila. She discreetly signaled to the camera her belief in the truthfulness of their responses.
During the challenge, Ram Kapoor admitted that Shreya Kalra gets annoyed by his frequent kisses, a sentiment echoed by Apoorva’s signal to the camera. Shreya later confided in Apoorva about Ram’s habit of kissing her on the cheeks and forehead during tasks, which left her feeling irritated. Shilpa Shinde also recalled witnessing such instances where Ram kissed Shreya during a task.
Apoorva expressed her annoyance, questioning why Ram continued to kiss, stating, “Why does he keep kissing? I’m getting angry.” This incident occurred a week after Ram faced backlash for kissing Shreya on the cheek post a task. His behavior drew criticism from viewers who criticized him for getting too physically close to female contestants.
In a separate conversation on the show, Ram was seen kissing Akanksha Chamola on her hand during a discussion. The actor faced further backlash when asked about his post-show plans, responding that he would like to “make love” to his wife, Gautami Kapoor.
