Lock Upp 2 contestant Dheeraj Dhoopar has become the centre of attention after making a remark that has reignited dating rumours surrounding Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopda. Following his eviction from the reality show, the actor addressed the media and appeared to refer to Shivangi as Harshad’s “girlfriend,” leaving fans speculating about the duo’s relationship status.
Although neither Shivangi nor Harshad has publicly confirmed they are dating, Dheeraj’s statement has quickly gone viral across social media.
Dheeraj Dhoopar’s Viral Statement
Speaking to Access TV after his exit from Lock Upp 2, Dheeraj was asked why he avoided getting into fights inside the house despite several confrontations.
Responding to the question, he said:
“Maine yaha game khelne nahi aaya hoon, game change karne aaya hoon.”
He further added:
“Yogesh ko maine evict kiya kyunki mere paas power thi. Akanksha Choudhary ko aa ke mere se ladna chahiye tha. Harshad ko agar I was the one who voted him out, to Shivangi ko aa kar ladna chahiye tha. Agar unki girlfriends aa ke mujhse nahi ladengi, to main ja ke unse jabardasti nahi ladunga na.”
His reference to Shivangi Joshi as Harshad Chopda’s girlfriend instantly grabbed attention online, with fans wondering whether he accidentally confirmed their much-discussed relationship.
Fans React To The Viral Clip
Soon after the interview surfaced, social media was flooded with reactions. While many fans celebrated what they believe is an indirect confirmation of the rumoured romance, others urged people not to jump to conclusions, pointing out that neither Shivangi Joshi nor Harshad Chopda has commented on Dheeraj’s statement.
As of now, both actors have remained silent, and there has been no official confirmation regarding their relationship.
Dheeraj Dhoopar’s Lock Upp 2 Journey
Dheeraj’s exit came after one of the season’s biggest twists. Initially safe after the voting process, the actor was eventually eliminated following a comeback challenge that allowed Harshad Chopda and wildcard contestant Yogesh Rawat to re-enter the competition.
Despite his elimination, Dheeraj remained one of the season’s most talked-about contestants due to his composed gameplay and strong performances.
Earlier, Dheeraj Faced Chit Controversy
During his stay inside the Lock Upp 2 house, Dheeraj also found himself at the centre of controversy after host Riteish Deshmukh questioned him over allegations that his family had passed him a handwritten note during an emotional reunion with his son, Zayn.
Later, Dheeraj’s wife Vinny Arora clarified the situation through a social media video, explaining that the message contained no game-related information.
“There was no outside information, no strategy, nothing like that. It was just a wife concerned about her husband,” Vinny said, adding that sending the note was an emotional mistake.
Shivangi Joshi And Harshad Chopda’s Bond
Harshad Chopda and Shivangi Joshi first won audiences over with their chemistry in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4. Their close friendship has continued inside Lock Upp 2, where fans have frequently praised their bond.
However, despite repeated dating rumours over the years, neither actor has ever officially confirmed being in a relationship.
With Dheeraj Dhoopar’s latest remark now making headlines, speculation has once again intensified. Whether it was an accidental revelation or simply a casual comment remains unclear until either Shivangi or Harshad chooses to address it.
