Bigg Boss 9 runner-up Mandana Karimi, Pakistani blogger Azma Fallah enter Lock Upp. Watch promo

Mandana Karimi and Azma Fallah have now entered Lock Upp as wildcard contestants. The latest promo of the show announces their entry.

Ekta Kapoor's show, Lock Upp is full of twists and turns. It recently witnessed the entries of Ali Merchant and Chetan Hasraj as well as some evictions. Now, the captive-based reality show has announced the wildcard entries of two new contestants. Mandana Karimi, actor-model who participated in Bigg Boss 9 and became the second runner-up, is one of the contestants. Azma Fallah, a beauty blogger from Pakistan who appeared on MTV Splitsvilla's season 13 last year, is the other entry.

While Mandana Karimi will enter the show as the 16th contestant, Azma Fallah will be seen as the first wild card entry in Lock Upp. Mandana has previously done Bigg Boss 9 where she emerged as the runner-up. She is an Iranian actress and has featured in Ekta Kapoor's Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3, a sex comedy. She was also in the news due to her personal life when she filed a domestic violence case against her ex-husband Gaurav Gupta.

A new promo shared on Alt Balaji's Instagram account introduced Mandana and Azma as the new contestants. The post was captioned, "Controversy aur khabron ke beech phassein yeh do kaidi, ab khelenge atyaachaari khel (these two prisoners, stuck between controversy and news, will now play the game)! Catch @azma.fallah and @mandanakarimi in the bad** jail (sic)."

The promo shows Mandana and Azma being brought in chains as a voiceover said, "Kangana ke ghiraft mein aaye hain do aur controversial celebrities (Two more controversial celebrities have become Kangana's prisoners)." We then Mandana Karimi flashing a smile as she holds a digital placard that says inmate No 16, the last contestant of the captivity-based reality show. Azma holds a digital placard that says 'wild card entry'. Mandana has been jailed on the charges of being a 'controversy creator', while Azma has been charged for 'fake identity'.

Ekta Kapoor's Lock Upp promises exciting tasks, dramatic fights, and above all, an interesting mix of some controversial contestants who are willing to do just about anything to survive. Ekta Kapoor launched the show in Mumbai on February 3. The show will live stream 24x7. Lock Upp is touted to be the biggest and the most fearless reality show and is being positioned as the world's first metaverse-based fantasy game. It promises to be 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 interesting mix of contestants.
