Lock Upp 2 Contestants Not Allowed For Bigg Boss 20
In India, there are very popular TV shows where people live together in a house and cameras film everything they do.
One of these shows, called Lock Upp 2, ended on August 5, and a contestant named Shreya Kalra won.
Another similar show, Bigg Boss 20, hosted by Salman Khan, will start on September 6.
Fans wondered whether Lock Upp 2 stars would also join Bigg Boss 20.
But Lock Upp 2 contestant Pamala Serena said the contestants cannot do any more reality shows for a few months.
She said many offers are coming, but they must wait before accepting them.
When asked if she had an offer for Bigg Boss 20, she said she could not tell.
Shreya Kalra also said she does not want to be a contestant right away because the experience was very tiring.
She would be happy to host or mentor on a show instead.
A contestant named Munawar Faruqui won the first Lock Upp and then also won Bigg Boss 17, which is why fans keep hoping for such crossovers.
Lock Upp 2 contestant Pamala Serena said contestants cannot do more reality shows for a few months, amid Bigg Boss 20 speculation.
