The buzz around Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa continues to grow as Netflix unveils more contestants for its upcoming reality show. Adding to the excitement, former Splitsvilla 16 contestants Yogesh Rawat and Akanksha Chaudhary have officially joined the line-up, bringing with them a story that has already captured the attention of reality TV fans.

The duo first crossed paths during their stint on Splitsvilla 16, where their relationship became one of the season's most talked-about storylines. Now, they are preparing to share the screen once again in a completely different environment.

Journey From Splitsvilla To Lock Upp

Yogesh and Akanksha's journey began on the youth-focused dating reality show, where they decided to pursue a relationship. However, things became complicated when Yogesh's former girlfriend, Ruru, entered the competition.

The situation sparked intense discussions among viewers, particularly during the show's finale, when allegations surfaced that Yogesh had cheated on Ruru with Akanksha. The controversy remained a major talking point long after the season concluded.
