Lock Upp 2 contestant Yogesh Rawat has shared his first reaction after his unexpected eviction from the reality show. Taking to Instagram, he posted an emotional video thanking fans for standing by him throughout his journey.

Addressing his supporters, Yogesh said, “Okay, guys, I know the episode was very unexpected for all of you. And honestly, it was just as unexpected for me. I’ve been out for the past week, and I’ve been seeing all the love and support you’ve been showering on me online. You’ve been doing so much in my name that I still can’t believe it’s all happening for me.”

Reflecting on his reality show journey, he revealed that his goal has always been to win the competition but said he has found something even more valuable.

“Whenever I’ve done a reality show, I’ve always gone in with one goal, to win. Win, win, win. But maybe I haven’t always succeeded in that. One thing I have always succeeded in, though, is winning your love and your hearts. And I feel that’s the real victory for me,” Yogesh shared.

The reality star admitted that his elimination had left him disappointed initially. “I was disappointed too when I got eliminated. I kept thinking, ‘What just happened? I’m out again.’ But when I came out and saw the love and support from all of you, I realized that, in itself, is a huge win,” he said.

Sharing what he has learnt from participating in reality shows, Yogesh added, “Over time, I’ve understood that getting into a reality show may not be that difficult. But coming out of it with a positive image, someone people genuinely love, is much harder. And I feel I’ve always managed to do that.”

Expressing gratitude, he further said, “I’m incredibly grateful for everything I’ve earned through all of you. I can’t even put into words what I’m feeling right now.”

Yogesh also urged fans not to be heartbroken over his exit and explained why he is trying to stay positive.

“But that’s life, isn’t it? You don’t always get everything you wish for. So please keep loving and supporting me like this. And don’t be too disappointed. I truly believe that whatever happens, happens for a reason. That’s how I’m choosing to look at it, and I hope you do the same.”

He concluded his message by asking fans to stay positive. “Please don’t take it so much to heart or stay too upset. I know you all love me so, so much, that’s something I’ve witnessed over the past week. So, guys, stay happy.”


Meanwhile, Yogesh’s emotional message has reignited speculation among viewers, with many fans demanding his return to the show. Several social media users believe his journey in Lock Upp 2 is far from over and are hoping the makers bring him back through a wildcard re-entry. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding the same.
