The latest episode of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa has sparked widespread discussion after contestants Dheeraj Dhoopar and Harshad Chopda were seen sharing their views on sexuality and the LGBTQ+ community. A clip from the episode has gone viral on social media, with many viewers praising Dheeraj’s comments for being supportive and empathetic.
The conversation began after the show displayed a message highlighting the challenges many people face in openly expressing their sexuality due to fear of societal judgment. The message questioned whether sexuality should be viewed as a personal identity or become a subject of public debate. Contestant Sufi Motiwala, who openly identifies as gay, agreed with the statement and shared his perspective, leading to a broader discussion among the housemates.
During the conversation, Harshad Chopda revealed that he knows a few people who are gay and said he is not afraid of them, but admitted that it takes him some time to become comfortable around them. He explained that his initial reaction is one of hesitation, though he gradually adjusts as he gets to know them better.
Responding to Harshad, Dheeraj Dhoopar expressed a different viewpoint, saying he has always felt completely comfortable around gay people. He added, “I am so comfortable around gays. Personally, I think they are better human beings. They are more sensitive towards everything; they are wonderful.” His remarks quickly gained attention online, with many social media users appreciating his positive and accepting attitude.
The episode also revisited the ongoing controversy surrounding contestant Akanksha Chamola. In an earlier episode, Shreya Kalra claimed that Akanksha is bisexual while speaking to Sufi Motiwala during a task. A new promo suggests Akanksha may soon discover that the information was revealed on national television, setting the stage for another dramatic confrontation inside the Lock Upp house.
