Lock Upp Season 2 has kept audiences hooked with its celebrity contestants, unpredictable twists and emotional outbursts ever since the reality show went on air. Contestants have grabbed headlines for very different reasons this season, and one of the most talked about names inside the house has been internet sensation Varun Yadav, better known online as Laila. This time, though, the news around him has nothing to do with the game and everything to do with a personal loss.
Inside the house, unaware of the loss outside
Varun Yadav has been drawing attention ever since he entered the Lock Upp 2 house, quickly becoming one of the most discussed contestants inside. Now, a piece of heartbreaking news has emerged about him. According to the information available, Varun's grandfather has passed away. What makes it harder is that Varun is currently still locked inside the Lock Upp 2 house, completely cut off from the outside world. Because of this, it has not yet been decided whether he will even be informed about his grandfather's death while the show continues.
Friend Aarush Bhola breaks the news
The news was first shared by Varun's friend Aarush Bhola in his latest vlog. Aarush revealed that Varun's grandfather passed away at the age of 91. He also spoke about the difficult situation this has created, since Varun is still competing inside the house and has no access to the outside world. According to Aarush, it isn't easy to decide whether the makers of the show should tell Varun about the loss while he remains part of the competition. So far, there has been no official confirmation on whether Varun has been informed of his grandfather's death or whether he still remains unaware of it.
Fans react with condolences
As soon as the news broke, Varun's fans grew emotional. Many took to social media to send their condolences to his family during this difficult time. Several fans also expressed hope that the show's makers would take a decision soon so that Varun isn't kept in the dark for long. Meanwhile, his family is still trying to come to terms with the sudden loss.
Who is Varun Yadav, aka Laila
Varun Yadav is a digital creator from Haryana. He first found popularity through short comedy videos built around everyday-life humour and collaborations with other creators. Over time, he expanded into travel vlogs, lifestyle content, prank videos, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of his daily routine. Very few people knew that the creator popularly known as Laila was actually named Varun Yadav, a nickname given to him by his close friends that eventually became his primary identity online. His popularity has only grown since he entered the Lock Upp 2 house, which makes the news of his grandfather's passing an especially difficult moment for his fans to process.
