Lock Upp 2: ‘My uncle spoke to me…’ Shivangi Joshi’s pain over sexual abuse spills out

Shivangi Joshi Lock Up 2: Every day, contestants in Netflix’s reality show ‘Lock Up 2’ are revealing such bitter truths of their lives to the world, which have shaken the audience. After Ram Kapoor and Harshad Chopra, now famous TV actress Shivangi Joshi has also revealed the most dreadful secret of her life during the secret task of the show. Shivangi Joshi became emotional and told that she had been a victim of sexual abuse in her childhood and the perpetrator of this heinous act was not some unknown person, but her maternal uncle.

Shivangi Joshi told that when Ram Kapoor and Harshad Chopra shared the incidents that happened to them with the world, then they also got the courage to tell their ordeal. In the latest episode of the show, Shivangi told in a painful tone that her mother had a soft-spoken brother, whom everyone called ‘Mama Ji’ and who was highly respected in the family. When Shivangi expressed her desire to become an actress, she started taking advantage of this.

Shivangi could not understand uncle’s intentions

Shivangi told that her parents trusted her blindly. Uncle often used to say that Shivangi would have to learn driving before going to Mumbai. He used to ask Shivangi to sit on his lap and hold the steering wheel. Shivangi told that at that time she could not understand his intentions, but after 2-3 days when she felt uncomfortable, she flatly refused to learn driving.

Dirty acts at home in the name of teaching acting

Recalling that dreadful incident, Shivangi told that once her parents had gone out for some work. Then that person reached home and started coming close to her in the name of teaching her acting lessons. Shivangi told, “He told me that to become an actor, one has to do such scenes. Then in a joking tone, citing mother’s love, he kissed my cheek and then started trying to kiss my lips. When I said, ‘Mama ji, this looks very dirty’ and pushed him, my hand touched his face. Due to this, he got angry and threw me on the ground.”
