Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2 contestant, Shresta Iyer, is all set to show the world that she has her own identity behind the weight of her surname. Shresta is set to flip the script and showcase who she is behind her existing identity. Well, it was Farah Khan who spoke about Shresta's personal life and told her that if her surname is removed from her name, then her story will be different. In her words:
"Mujhe joh lagta hai ki aapke naam se aapka surname hataya jaaye, then the story is very different. Aapki identity kya hai without being Shreyas Iyer's sister?"
Well, the question by Farah Khan made Shresta speak up her mind and reveal why she decided to be a part of the reality show. She revealed that she wanted people to see her beyond the label of just being Shreyas's sister and also discover her own story. In her words:
"I've faced a lot of trolling over the years, but I've learned to grow through it. Most people know me as Shreyas' sister, but I'm here to create my own identity and be recognised for who I am. Lock Upp feels like the perfect platform to show a different side of me and let people know my story beyond that label."
Shreyas Iyer's sister, Shresta, entered Lock Upp and created a lot of discussions on social media. A user seeing the video wrote, "Yeah iski Lips paintbrush jaise use ho skte hai, That could become her signature identity be her identity." Another one penned, “Shresta Iyer should be thanking KKR fans. They gave her more fame in a few weeks than her own brother, Shreyas Iyer, could have in all these years.
Another user reacted to her comments, saying, “Meet Shreyas Iyer, Sister Shresta Iyer - In lockup season, firstly, he denied that she was trying to justify that she is so much without her brother's name. But when Farah Khan countered, she accepted yes, I come here to make my own identity.”
Shresta Iyer further spoke about the one thing that she refused to trade with inside the Lock Upp house. Shresta said that disrespect has been something that she will never tolerate, and she has made it very clear that she is prepared to stand her ground if there is someone who crosses the line. In her words:
"One thing I absolutely cannot tolerate is disrespect. I'm someone who treats people with kindness and expects the same in return. If someone crosses a line or misbehaves, I won't stay silent. I will stand up for myself and give it back tenfold. I'm coming into Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa as my authentic self, and that's exactly what people will see."
