Payal Rohatgi finished as the first runner-up on Lock Upp, which was won by Munawar Faruqui. Payal spoke to the media after her release from the ‘jail’ about her plans to marry Sangram Singh and their plans to have a child, despite her inability to conceive. She joked that if he doesn’t reveal the wedding date a week before the big day, she’ll give his phone number to the press.

“Pehle to hum shaadi kar lein fatafat,” Payal said of Sangram (we should soon get married first). We’ll do it around his birthday, he says. If he doesn’t share the date a week before the wedding, I’ll share his phone number (I’ll share his phone number if he doesn’t share the date a week before the wedding). ‘Date batao, aapne show pe aake Payal ko firse propose kiya (Tell us the date as you proposed to Payal again on the show),’ make sure you call him. It is your responsibility to lure him into giving you a date. (I’m tired of asking him) Main to thak gayi hu.”

Among the many secrets she revealed on the show, Payal revealed that she is unable to conceive, whereas Sangram adores children. She also stated that she advised Sangram to find another girl because she was unable to provide him with children. During a press conference, the actor stated that she and Sangram will now look into surrogacy and adoption options.

“I’d like to make both of them approachable from my side because that’s the only thing we’re planning to do right now,” she said. We live in a democracy, so we must use legal means to determine what is best for us.”

Payal was noticeably absent from the post-show celebrations, which included host Kangana Ranaut, producer Ekta Kapoor, and other Lock Upp contestants. She explained that she was disappointed that she did not win the show and thus decided to skip the party.
