Yes, here when Thread-1 is in synchronized method1() it must be holding lock on object1’s monitor. Thread-2 will acquire lock on object2’s monitor and enter synchronized method2().
Likewise, Thread-2 even enter synchronized method1() as well which is being executed by Thread-1 (because threads are created on different objects).

class MyRunnable1 implements Runnable{
@Override
public void run(){
if(Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("Thread-1"))
method1();
else
method2();
}
synchronized void method1(){
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+
" in synchronized void method1() started");
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+
" in synchronized void method1() ended");
}
synchronized void method2(){
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()
+" in synchronized void method2() started");
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()
+" in synchronized void method2() ended");
}

If you note output, when Thread-1 was in synchronized method1() it was holding lock on object1’s monitor. Thread-2 acquired lock on object2’s monitor and entered synchronized method2().
