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.
Saisha Shinde was known as Swapnil Shinde before she came out as a transwoman and renamed herself. She has now questioned her fellow contestants on Lock Upp for not asking her what pronouns she likes to be referred to as. Saisha told her co-contestants that it bothers her when they accidentally refer to her as he.
In a new promo of Lock Upp shared on Alt Balaji's Instagram handle, captioned "Saisha said it! PERIOD," she points out that only Kaaranvir Bohra has asked her about her pronouns.
"Kitne logo ne yaha puchke jaane ki koshish ki hai ki mere pronouns kya hain except for KV (Who here has tried to know what are my pronouns, except for KV). I am supposed to tell which I am telling, right, phir log bolenge ki hamara kaam nhi hai puchna" (then people will say that it's not our job to ask), she said.
Saisha was referring to a recent incident where she was referred to as he. She explained, "It's just that you have to understand for me it gets annoying when I have to correct someone four times, six times, ten times. And it's just a coincidence ki kal raat ko hi maine isse (Nisha Rawal) baat ki ki 'Nisha he/she, he/she bahot ho raha hai (I am getting called as he/she repeatedly).' To jab bhi koi he bolta hai, to mere saamne aayena aa jaata hai (whenever someone refers to me as he, a mirror comes in front of me), that maybe I am not she yet, which is why everyone is still calling me he."
Have a look.
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.
