In the previous episode of Lock Upp, Payal Rohatgi accused Saisha Shinde of using her transwoman card as a way to gain sympathy. She also called Saisha 'dogla' (two-faced).
The previous episode of Lock Upp saw an interesting fight take place between the inmates during a task. Payal Rohatgi didn't get support from Saisha Shinde which irrited her. She accused the latter of using her transwoman card as a means to gain sympathy. For the unversed, in 2021, Saisha came out as a transwoman after her sex reassignment surgery. The popular fashion designer was formerly known as Swapnil Shinde. Ever since, she has talked about her struggles to get acceptance in the society.
In the latest episode of Lock Upp, the inmates were assigned a task. Soon, a heated argument took place due to a disagreement. The inmates were even seen pushing each other during the same. Payal got support from Nisha Rawal but Saisha went against her. After the task, Payal was seen walking in the yard area while talking to herself. She was heard saying, “Nisha tumhare liye ladd rahi hai tum baithke KV ke sath bonding kar rahe ho. Nisha tumhare liye bol rahi hai tum baithke Munawar ke sath bonding kar kare ho. Saisha se zyada chalbaaz aur dogla insaan hai hi nahi koi yahan (Nisha is fighting for you and you are sitting there bonding with Karanvir. Nisha is speaking for you and you are sitting there with Munawar. I have never seen a person more double faced and trickster than Saisha).”
Later, Payal sat with Nisha Rawal and said that Saisha plays a double game and uses her transwoman card to gain sympathy. “Sab apni apni game khel rahe ho. Agar kal maine buzzer dabaya to tumko usse problem hai. Aaj maine task khela aise to tumko usse problem hai. Har jagah tumko mujhse problem hai. Fir main teen card leke aati hoon, to tum bajoge to tumhara hi naam likhungi na main. Tumhare sath to main kaise aage jau, tum to idhar bhi baj rahe ho udhar bhi baj rahe ho sab jagah baje ja rahe ho. Sab jagah tumko game khelni hai. Tumhara transwoman ka card tum istemaal karte ho sympathy lene ke liye (Everyone is playing their own game. If I pressed the buzzer, you have a problem with that. If I am playing a task, you have a problem with also. You have a problem every time. You want to play games everywhere. You use your transwoman card to gain sympathy),” Payal stated.
