Lock Upp 2 contestant Akanksha Choudhary recently spoke about an alleged incident from the early days of her modelling journey. Before her elimination, she claimed that a well-known figure from the beauty pageant circuit made an inappropriate demand in return for financial help.
Talking about her experience on the show, Akanksha said she was preparing to participate in a pageant but did not have enough money for garments, training, and other expenses. “Mujhe kuch 1-2 lakh chahiye the, for garments, for training fees and whatever else,” she said, adding that her family was not in a position to support her at that time.
According to Akanksha, she reached out to a senior personality she had known for years. She said the person had judged several pageants and was known to help aspiring contestants financially. She claimed she asked him for temporary support and even offered to work for him in return, saying she would repay the amount through work.
Akanksha alleged that the man agreed and invited her to his house. Since she had visited his residence earlier, she said she did not suspect anything unusual and decided to meet him.
Recalling the incident, Akanksha claimed the meeting took an unexpected turn. “Jab main gayi, woh aaye. Unhone pehle mujhe hug karne ke liye approach kiya, lekin hug karne ke bajaye unhone mujhe push kiya… aur mujhe grab kar liya,” she said.
She further alleged that despite her resistance, he continued holding her. “Woh bahut budhe the, toh maine unka haath pakda aur jhatka,” she recalled.
Akanksha went on to claim that the man made an explicit proposal in return for the financial help she had requested. “Main tumhe itne paise de raha hoon, but in return you’ll have to have s*x with me. Matlab unhone pura aise timeline de di thi mujhe ki ek mahine mein tumhe 5-6 baar karna padega,” she said.
She further alleged that he specified how many times she would have to meet him each month. Akanksha stated that she immediately refused the proposal. According to her, she told the man that if she had known his intentions earlier, she would never have agreed to meet him.
