Reality show ‘Lock Upp’ is inching closer towards its grand finale this weekend. Right after its premiere on the Alt Balaji and MX Player OTT platforms on 27th February, ‘Lock Upp’ has been generating immense buzz and following amongst the audiences. The show has got all the ingredients required for an entertaining and gripping reality show: a fearless celebrity host – Kangana Ranaut, an interesting blend of contestants, engaging tasks, combined with an innovative format.
The Lock Upp inmates are pulling out all the stops to garner votes in order to eventually become the winner of the show. As of now, Shivam Sharma, Munawar Faruqui, and Prince Narula are the first three finalists of the show. While the other competing contestants are Payal Rohatgi, Anjali Arora, Saisha Shinde, and Azma Fallah.
Although stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui has consistently been the fan-favorite and a big-time trending contestant of Lock Upp’s first season, however, considering the unpredictable nature of reality shows, Munawar’s victory is certainly not a given. To gauge the winning chance through the current popularity of these contestants, let’s see how they have fared in Google searches (at the time of writing this article).
The ranks as per average interest generated by the seven Lock Upp contestants over the past day as per Google are stated below:
7. Shivam Sharma
6. Azma Fallah
5. Prince Narula
4. Saisha Shinde
3. Payal Rohatgi
2. Anjali Arora
1. Munawar Faruqui
But the results are slightly different when we measure their popularity over the past seven days:
7. Shivam Sharma
6. Azma Fallah
5. Prince Narula
4. Saisha Shinde
3. Anjali Arora
2. Munawar Faruqui
1. Payal Rohatgi
One common thing can be observed from the above popularity rankings of Lock Upp contestants on Google. That it’s a tough fight between Munawar Faruqui, Payal Rohatgi, and Anjali Arora. We know that a player’s popularity on Google search might not be accurately proportionate to the number of actual votes. Still, it gives us an idea about real-time public curiosity in general, which might be somewhat reflected in the votes being registered.
The eagerly anticipated ‘Lock Upp’ finale will stream on Alt Balaji and MX Player coming Saturday, that is, on 7th May, when the show’s host Kangana Ranaut will announce the winner.
