Rashami Desai Clarifies Her Stance on *Lock Upp Season 2*

Rashami Desai finally shut down the noise about Lock Upp Season 2 . She said she has zero connection to the reality show, despite her name floating around in those contestant rumors everywhere you look.
She dropped this clarification via a video on social media after an Instagram story got everyone talking. Rashami even ran a poll asking if fans wanted to see her back on TV. That definitely fueled the speculation, leading everyone to assume she was hinting at something.
“Let me be very honest,” she put it out there. “It is not about Lock Upp . Any reality show comes, people just grab my name and spread rumors. I don’t like it anymore. So, I am not doing Lock Upp . This is my official statement.”
Her words came right as the chatter about the second season kept going strong. You see all these celebrities linked to the show in the weeks since, but nothing concrete from the makers themselves yet.
While she was pushing back on that, Rashami shifted focus entirely. She talked about what she’s actually busy with now. Speaking to The Free Press Journal , she mentioned balancing her acting commitments while working hard on her own brand.
“I am currently handling professional commitments,” she said. “But I’m also building a team and a solid foundation for my brand. It’s a meaningful journey, I think it will unfold beautifully.”
She brought up her venture, Rashmi ke Dil Se Dil Tak . Audiences have seen her as Tapasya or Shorvori before, but now they get to see her thoughts, emotions her creative vision through that brand and the show. That’s where her energy is right now. Other plans exist, sure. But she prefers not talking about them until they actually happen.
She also gets selective about acting work. She’s waiting for the right thing. “At the same time,” she noted, “I’m looking forward to upcoming releases. As an actor, my priority is finding strong scripts and good directors. That combination? That’s what defines a dream project for me.”
Meanwhile, things are moving with Lock Upp . They already announced some first confirmed contestants during their launch in Mumbai on June 22nd. Ram Kapoor, Shivangi Joshi, and Pamela Serena were introduced then, along with hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh.
But the buzz doesn't stop there. It’s all about who else is connected. Celebrities like Pranit More, Sunita Ahuja, Shilpa Shinde, Dheeraj Dhoopar names keep popping up in the speculation. Even Urvashi Dholakia and Priyank Sharma were mentioned. A lot of names floating around, but nothing official from the platform or the makers about their actual participation yet. It’s just noise for now.
