The long-standing rivalry between Hina Khanand Shilpa Shinde has once again grabbed the spotlight, this time inside the Lock Upp house. Nearly nine years after their memorable clashes on Bigg Boss 11, the two television stars found themselves at odds during a dramatic “Judgement Day” episode that has sparked widespread discussion among fans online.
Hina Khan confronts Shilpa Shinde
Hina entered the reality show as a special guest alongside Uorfi Javed, representing the audience as “Janta Ki Awaaz.” The duo was given the responsibility of evaluating the performances of the contestants and choosing one inmate to save from eviction. Among those in the danger zone were Shilpa Shinde, Varun Yadav, Harshad Chopda, Sufi Motiwala and Pamala Serena.
The episode took a heated turn when Hina openly criticised Shilpa’s gameplay. Addressing the actress, Hina said she could not support a strategy that involved bringing others down or indulging in what she described as character assassination. She maintained that such behaviour did not align with her principles and therefore she could not back Shilpa during the elimination process. Eventually, Hina and Uorfi decided to save Varun Yadav instead.
Shilpa, however, strongly denied the allegations. She insisted she had never attempted to assassinate anyone’s character and argued that viewers and the cameras would know exactly what had transpired inside the house. After the decision, she was also seen expressing her displeasure over Hina’s remarks while speaking with fellow contestants.
Netizens recall Bigg Boss 11 face off
The confrontation immediately reminded viewers of the bitter rivalry the two shared duringBigg Boss 11, where frequent arguments and opposing camps made them one of the season’s most talked-about contestants. Their differences had already resurfaced earlier this year after Hina publicly criticised Shilpa over her admission that she had filed a false sexual harassment complaint during a past legal dispute, calling the confession “absolutely shameful.”
Soon after the latest Lock Upp episode aired, social media users began comparing Hina’s remarks with her own conduct during Bigg Boss 11. Old clips from the reality show resurfaced online, with several users debating whether Hina’s criticism of Shilpa reflected a change in perspective or exposed a contradiction with her past behaviour. The renewed discussion has once again brought their iconic television rivalry back into public conversation.
