The episode teased the arrival of a new contestant when host Farah Khan hinted that reinforcements were on their way. The announcement immediately prompted the existing inmates to guess that a wildcard entrant was about to walk into the house.
Farah then introduced the newest contestant, saying, “Please welcome the newest inmate. She’s always wanted to be a rebel. Apoorva, also known as Rebel Kid.”

Apoorva Makhija And Shreya Kalra’s Friendship Turned Into A Public Fallout
Apoorva Makhija and Shreya Kalra were once recognised for their close friendship and regular content collaborations. However, followers gradually noticed that the duo had stopped appearing together. Reports that they had unfollowed each other on social media only intensified speculation.
Neither Apoorva nor Shreya has publicly revealed the exact reason behind their fallout. Their silence, coupled with cryptic social media activity, led to widespread discussion among fans, making it one of the most talked-about creator feuds online.
What Happened Between Apoorva Makhija And Sufi Motiwala?
Apoorva’s relationship with influencer Sufi Motiwala also came to an end after the two appeared on The Traitors. Motiwala publicly confirmed that they were no longer friends and dismissed claims that he had benefited from her popularity.
Explaining his decision, he wrote, “So no, I’m not sorry I didn’t use her for clout. In case you forgot, we were on the same show without knowing each other. I don’t need her clout. I wanted to be friends with Apoorva, not the rebel kid. I distanced myself when there was no accountability constantly for how I was being treated.”
With both Shreya Kalra and Sufi Motiwala connected to her past controversies, Apoorva’s entry into Lock Upp 2 is likely to attract significant attention from viewers.
