The latest episode of Lock Upp Season 2 delivered another dramatic moment as contestants Apoorva Mukhija and Varun Yadav found themselves at the center of an intense argument over gender equality. What began as a conversation soon escalated into one of the season’s most talked-about confrontations before ending on a more conciliatory note.
Debate Over Gender Equality Turns Heated
The disagreement started when Apoorva questioned Varun about his views on whether men and women should be considered equal.
During the discussion, Varun spoke about concerns regarding false assault allegations against men, a remark that Apoorva strongly objected to. She challenged his statement, and the conversation quickly turned into a heated exchange as both contestants defended their perspectives.
The debate drew attention from fellow inmates, becoming one of the standout moments of the episode.

The confrontation was also influenced by earlier tensions between the two contestants.
Apoorva referred to an incident she claimed took place before the reality show, alleging that Varun and his friends had visited her apartment, behaved disrespectfully, and asked fellow contestant Sufi Motiwala to dance during the gathering.
Based on those experiences, Apoorva questioned the perception of Varun as calm and polite inside the house.
During the argument, she also described Varun and parts of his online audience as “misogynist,” alleging that they demean women on social media.
These statements were made by Apoorva during the episode and represent her personal allegations. They have not been independently verified by Hunterfly.
