Lock Upp 2 came to an end, with contestants attending the success party alongside hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, as well as producer Ekta Kapoor. However, Shilpa Shinde was notably absent from the celebrations. Instead, the actress headed straight to her shelter home in Karjat, where she received a heartwarming welcome from the elderly women waiting for her with flower garlands.
Shilpa took to Instagram to share a video of the emotional reunion and captioned it, "Back home after Lock Upp.. Itna saara pyaar aur support dekh kar aisa lag raha hai jaise main hi winner ban gayi hoon!! Dil se thank you, everyone!"
The video shows the elderly women welcoming Shilpa with flower garlands as soon as she arrived. In return, the actress sought their blessings and greeted each of them warmly. One particularly touching moment captured an elderly woman kissing Shilpa's hand and shaking hands with her.
Shilpa then went around meeting the other women at the shelter home, with each of them either presenting her with flowers or adorning her with a garland. One of the women was seen breaking down in tears upon seeing the actress return. Throughout the video, Shilpa thanked everyone for their unwavering love and support during her journey on Lock Upp 2.
Several celebrities reacted to the heartwarming video. Rakhi Sawant responded to the post, while Madhuri Jain Grover dropped a heart emoji in the comments. Bebika Dhurve wrote, "Super woman Shilpa tai loved your "down your finger" dialogue." Many fans also praised Shilpa, calling her a "pure hearted" person.
