Harshad Chopda Gives Up ‘Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa’ Finale Spot For Shivangi Joshi; Leaves Fans Disappointed
In a surprise move, Harshad Chopda gave up his place on “Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa,” for Shivangi Joshi. In the previous episode, Chopda had qualified for the finale with Joshi being eliminated. This move from the TV star has left his fans sorely disappointed. Over the years, Chopda has built a huge fandom with his work in TV serials like “Kis Des Main Hai Mera Dil,” “Bepannaah,” “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” and many more. While exiting, Chopda said he was not enjoying being a part of reality TV any more and would be happier if his good friend, Joshi made it to the finale.

This was Chopda’s debut on reality TV. Over the years, he has refused multiple reality TV offers but agreed to be a part of Ekta Kapoor’s production for Netflix. On the show, he surprised people with his emotional nature. Initially, many dismissed him as over-dramatic but warmed up seeing his honesty and dedication towards tasks. He was also liked by his fellow contestants like Shilpa Shinde, Shreya Kalra, Sunita Ahuja and Ram Kapoor.
Harshad isn't any less foolish. He completely ruined his own game. If their friendship had truly been genuine they wouldn't have had to go through so much drama they would have understood each other without all of that.#HarshadChopda #ShivangiJoshi#LockUpp2 https://t.co/fAjG8ZbGBT

The way she guilt trips Harshad and constantly puts him down is unbelievable. I never thought she could treat him like this especially after he even left the show for her. Yet she still behaves so thanklessly. Oh God.#HarshadChopda #ShivangiJoshi#LockUpp2 https://t.co/oRzlWIO9KJ

I hope Harshad on some day finds the RIGHT person who heals him/who loves him more than he loves her/who cares for him and tells him - I am there for you more than you are there for me.
