MUMBAI: Reality show titled Lock Upp launched with 17 contestants who are locked in jail, play the game, and fight for getting bail to survive. It streams on MX Player and ALTBalaji. The audience has given it a thumbs-up. Kangana Ranaut has made her OTT debut with the show as a host. She guides the contestants.

In a recent episode, Saisha Shinde got offended when Karanvir Bohra addressed her as ‘he’.

Saisha was extremely annoyed because she couldn’t use the smoking-room and slammed the makers for making the inmates suffer like this. “You can't do this to us,” she said in front of the camera. Karanvir tried to calm her down and then discussed with the ‘kaidis’ how she has finally put the issue in front of the makers. However, by mistake, he referred to Saisha ‘he’ which annoyed her.

“First and foremost, it's not he, it's she,” she clarified. Nisha Rawal noticed Saisha’s disgust with the same and alleged that everyone should mind their words while addressing Saisha. She said that Saisha gets extremely hurt by this and finds it difficult to confront everyone about it. “She is being choked,” she said while explaining.

This turned into an argument. After a while, Saisha stood up and said, “I’m glad this happened. Because now they can see that a trans woman can go through so much pain just for something as simple as ‘he/she’. She tried to explain how these things trigger her.

The show witnessed a shocking eviction recently. Babita Phogat, the renowned wrestler who had joined the show with a lot of expectations and promises, has been eliminated from the Lock Upp jail. The show has seen three eliminations before her: Godman Swami Chakrapani in the first week, political analyst Tehseen Poonawala in the second, and Siddharth Sharma in a surprise elimination.

Lock Upp is an engaging captive reality show with all the ingredients that will keep you glued to your seat. A daring celebrity host, compelling tasks, dramatic fights, and an exciting mix of contestants who will do anything and everything to survive in the show’s jail are the perfect amalgamation of entertainment.
