Lock Up 2 And Alliance Contestants: It is not a new thing in the TV industry to yearn for another hit after giving a superhit show. These days, ‘Lockup Season 2’ running on OTT platform Netflix and Prime Video’s popular reality show ‘Alliance’ are in the news. But this time the USP of these shows is not just their intense drama, but the faces participating in it.
In fact, in these reality shows, many big ‘Mahadhurandhars’ of TV are seen, who are in dire need of a hit to save their career. In the recent past, the fiction shows of these stars have not been able to do anything special on the TRP charts and now these reality shows are proving to be their last resort for ‘second inning’ and ‘career survival’. Let’s take a look at 5 such big faces.
1. Harshad Chopra
Harshad Chopra, one of the most handsome and popular actors of TV, the success he achieved by playing Abhimanyu Birla in ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ had made him a favorite of every household. But after leaving this superhit show, when Harshad Chopra entered the next season of ‘Bade Achhe Lagte Hain’, fans had high expectations from him. However, this show proved to be a disaster on TV. Neither the story of the show was liked by the audience nor was Harshad’s character able to create any special buzz. The show kept falling continuously in terms of TRP. Now, by coming to the show ‘Lockup 2’, Harshad is trying his best to get back his old charm, and his game is gradually coming into the eyes of the audience.
2. Shivangi Joshi
‘Naira’ of ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ i.e. Shivangi Joshi Is counted among the top actresses of TV. After this show of Rajan Shahi, Shivangi’s popularity was at its peak, but after this, it seemed as if someone took notice of her career. Shivangi then played the lead role of Anandi in ‘Balika Vadhu Season 2’, but this iconic show flopped badly on the TRP charts and closed prematurely. Even after this, he tried his luck in one or two fiction shows. But success remained away from him. This ‘lockup’ has become a great ‘second chance’ for Shivangi to prove herself again and connect directly with the audience.
3. Dheeraj Dhoopar
Dheeraj Dhoopar has ruled the TV industry for years by playing Karan Luthra in ‘Kundali Bhagya’. This show remained number-1 in TRP for many years, which made Dheeraj a superstar. But as soon as Dheeraj said goodbye to this superhit show in the desire of doing something new, his career graph started going down. After that he did a fiction show named ‘Sherdil Shergil’, which completely failed to attract the audience. The TRP of the show was very disappointing. In such a situation, for Dheeraj Dhoopar, ‘Lockup’ is the new beginning of his second innings, where fans are once again going crazy after seeing his original game.
4. Kushal Tandon
Kushal Tandon was once known for his strong personality in ‘Bigg Boss’. At one time, he gave superhit shows like ‘Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai’ and ‘Beyhadh’. But after a long break, when he made a comeback with a big fiction show of Sony TV with Shivangi Joshi, the show proved to be a flop. More than the story of this show, Kushal and Shivangi’s alleged affair and personal relationships were discussed in social media and gossip circles as per the sources. But as an actor, Kushal did not get the hit he wanted. Now, in shows like ‘Lockup’, people have started seeing Kushal’s real style and strategy, which can give a new turn to his career.

5. Niti Taylor
The craze that the pairing of Neeti Taylor and Parth Samthaan had created among the youth with the show ‘Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan’ continues even today. Neeti also worked in shows like ‘Ishqbaaaz’, but for a long time, Neeti has been eagerly waiting for a big and solo hit show. His last few cameos or shows in the TV world could not leave any special impression. In such a situation, for Neeti too, Prime Video’s show ‘Alliance’ has become the biggest means of her survival. If Neeti survives till the end in this show, then her sinking career graph can once again get a boost.
Reality shows like ‘Alliance’ and ‘Lockup’ may be just a source of drama or entertainment for the audience, but it is a golden opportunity for these five stars to regain their lost limelight. Now it will be interesting to see who among Harshad, Shivangi, Dheeraj, Kushal and Neeti is able to take full advantage of this ‘second inning’ and become the ‘Hero or Heroine Number One’ of the TV industry again.
