Azma Fallah, who was a contestant on the recently concluded reality show Lock Upp, revealed it became difficult for her to connect with fellow contestant Payal Rohatgi. In a new interview, Azma said that initially, they became close but Payal started talking about ‘people’s religion, caste and community’. Azma also added that had she been on Lock Upp from the start, she could have won the show.

In Lock Upp, she was a wild card contestant. The show was hosted by actor Kangana Ranaut. Stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui became the winner of the show with Payal as the first runner up.
In an interview with Indian Express, Azma spoke about Payal, “I really liked her and was close to her ever since I entered. However, she would talk about people’s religion, caste and community and that really made it difficult for anyone to connect with her. Thankfully, I also had someone like Shivam Sharma, Munawar Faruqui and Prince Narula, who supported me in the game.”
Speaking about the show she said, “If I was on Lock Upp from the first day, I am sure I would have won. Losing the title after having reached so far does hurt. However, I am a winner for myself and proud of my journey. The issue on Lock Upp was that we got limited things. We had to struggle for everything, including toothpaste and shampoo. So I would steal a lot of things to make my stay easier. Also, when I saw someone being obsessed with something, I would hide it. I knew I didn’t have the strength to fight back but I could attack them through these actions.”
Earlier this month on the show, Azma got angry at Payal. During their conversation, Azma had said about Payal, “Mental hospital se chhut ke aai hai (She just came out of the mental hospital).” Payal screamed back that Azma was getting personal but no one supported her.
Lock Upp, produced by Ekta Kapoor, pitted 20 contestants against each other in a jail-like setting. Celebrities like Poonam Pandey, Kaaranvir Bohra, Ali Merchant, Zeeshan Khan, Mandana Karimi, Nisha Rawal, Sara Khan, Vinit Kakar, Babita Phogat, Swami Chakrapani, Tehseen Poonawalla, Siddhartha Sharma, Prince Narula, and Chetan Hansraj were also a part of the show.
