Shivangi Joshi addressed speculation surrounding her bond with actor Harshad Chopda during a media interaction at the Lock Upp jury round.
While answering questions from journalists, she was asked whether Harshad's caring behaviour towards her reflected romantic feelings. The discussion also touched upon viewers who believed she ignored his emotions despite noticing them. Responding calmly, Shivangi explained that she has always seen Harshad as someone who is naturally protective and caring towards people close to him. She firmly denied believing that his behaviour towards her came from a romantic place, putting the ongoing speculation to rest for now.

During the media interaction, Pinkvilla journalist Aina Mehta referred to audience reactions and asked Shivangi whether she believed Harshad had romantic feelings for her. Aina said, "I think the audience felt like you acted dumb. How can you not know that he's in love with you? And I feel, intentionally or unintentionally, even after knowing this, he used emotions for the game."

Shivangi, however, disagreed with the assumption and explained that she has always viewed Harshad's behaviour differently.

Sharing her perspective, Shivangi said, "Outside the lock-up, we did a show together. And he's very protective and very caring about his people, not just me. So I don't believe that he has any other type of feelings." Her response suggested that she sees Harshad's caring nature as part of his personality rather than something directed only towards her.
