Shreya Kalra is currently in the spotlight after winning Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2. She lifted the trophy after a 35-day journey on the show and also took home a cash prize of ₹1 crore.
Her journey was filled with arguments, tasks, friendships and controversies, but she managed to emerge as the winner.
Shreya says no to ‘Bigg Boss’
After her victory, fans started wondering if Shreya would next enter Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 20.
However, the influencer has made it clear that she is not planning to join another reality show as a contestant right now.
Shreya Kalra was born on January 14, 1997, in Indore.
Speaking on her Instagram channel, Clock It With Shreya, she said her Lock Upp experience was mentally exhausting, and she needs a break from such shows.
Open to hosting or mentoring
Although Shreya has ruled out entering Bigg Boss as a contestant, she has not closed the door completely.
She hosts the podcast ‘Don’t Spill Too Much’.
She said she would be excited to host, mentor, or even become a gang leader on a reality show. For now, however, she wants to stay away from another high-pressure contestant-based show.
Her journey started with dance and social media
Shreya’s journey in entertainment began before reality television.
She started creating digital content and became known for dance, fashion, lifestyle, and entertainment videos. Her online presence helped her build a following and eventually opened doors to television and reality shows.
She later expanded her work to YouTube and podcasting.
TikTok helped her gain attention
Shreya began creating content on TikTok around 2018, posting dance, lip-sync, and fashion videos.
When TikTok was banned in India in 2020, she shifted her focus to platforms such as Instagram and YouTube.
This helped her continue building her digital audience and establish herself as a content creator.
‘Roadies Revolution’ gave her a reality TV break
Shreya made her reality television debut with MTV Roadies Revolution in 2020.
Shreya has also appeared alongside actor Paras Kalnawat.
She won the first-ever live audition of the show and secured a place in the Roadies journey.
She later entered the show as a wildcard contestant and was part of Nikhil Chinapa’s gang. Although her Roadies journey did not take her to the finale, the show gave her wider recognition.
A viral dance video made her a bigger internet name
Shreya also made headlines in 2021 after a dance video filmed at a zebra crossing in Indore went viral.
She was later booked by the police over the video. The incident brought her considerable attention online and became another important moment in her journey as a social media personality.
She expanded beyond reels
Over the years, Shreya did not limit herself to short videos. She moved into podcasts, hosting, and other entertainment projects.
She began her content creation journey in 2018.
She also started Don’t Spill Too Much, a YouTube podcast where she speaks with personalities from the entertainment and digital space.
The podcast became another part of her identity as a creator.
Shreya hosted ‘Playground’
Shreya also took on hosting duties for Playground, a gaming reality show. She presented Seasons 3 and 4 of the show alongside other presenters.
The fourth season featured personalities including Elvish Yadav, Munawar Faruqui, Mythpat and Uorfi Javed in mentor and judge roles. This experience gave Shreya the chance to move from contestant to host.
Is Shreya dating Rishab Jaiswal?
Shreya’s personal life has also attracted attention online.
The couple often shares travel diaries and funny videos together.
She has frequently collaborated with content creator Rishabh Jaiswal, and their on-screen chemistry has sparked dating speculation among fans over the years.
Recently, older videos featuring the two resurfaced after Shreya’s comments inside Lock Upp 2 renewed public interest in her personal life. However, neither Shreya nor Rishabh has publicly confirmed being in a relationship.
‘Lock Upp 2’ changed her reality show journey
Shreya entered Lock Upp 2 as an influencer and reality-show personality but soon became one of the most discussed contestants.
Shreya started her career by making TikTok videos.
Her strong opinions and frequent arguments made her a major part of the show’s drama. She also performed well in several tasks, which helped her stay in the competition.
She became the winner after a tough journey
Shreya eventually won Lock Upp Season 2, taking home the ₹1 crore prize.
Her victory marked a major change in her reality-TV journey, from a former Roadies contestant and digital creator to the winner of a major streaming reality show.
