The new season of Lock Upp seems to be testing the contestants’ patience not just with its tasks but also with the quality of the food being served. In the very first episode, several inmates complained that the meals were barely edible. Now, contestant Pamala Serena’s reaction to the food has left viewers in splits, with many comparing her to Bigg Boss 19 contestant Tanya Mittal.
Pamala Serena complains about the food in Lock Upp
As the contestants sat down for dinner after completing a task, they were served vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis. However, Pamala was clearly unimpressed with the meal. Looking at her plate, she complained, “Man! Look at this. What is this? It’s just water. They have intentionally added more water. Is this normal? Even my staff wouldn’t eat this food.” Despite her complaints, Pamela eventually ate the meal as she had been hungry since morning.
The clip from the episode quickly went viral, with many viewers drawing comparisons to Tanya Mittal. One fan commented, “Lock Upp ki Tanya Mittal mil gayi.” Another wrote, “Tanya Mittal’s sister.” A third commented, “Tanya Mittal reached her too?” However, some internet users pointed out that Pamala is indeed wealthy and instead criticised the poor quality of food being served to the contestants. “She feeds caviar to her dog, so what do you expect? She’s filthy rich,” read one comment. Another wrote, “But isn’t the quality of the food really problematic?” Another user commented, “Madam needs five-star food in Lock Upp.”
Tanya Mittal became a household name after her stint on Bigg Boss 19. Although she was initially labelled one of the most irritating contestants for flaunting her luxurious lifestyle, she gradually won over viewers and emerged as a finalist. During her time on the show, Tanya frequently spoke about her wealth, revealed that her lavish home even had a lift in the kitchen, and shared that an entire floor was dedicated to her wardrobe. She was also offered the lead role in an Ektaa Kapoor show during her Bigg Boss journey.
