Other than the close-room format that is a favourite of reality shows, the makers also took away contestants’ basic necessities and in a latest task, also tested them for their general knowledge. On Monday, the 16 contestants were assigned a task in which they had to showcase their physical and mental strength.
The blue team and the orange team were asked to choose four members who will showcase their mental and physical strength. While orange team chose Payal Rohatgi and Poonam Pandey to answer GK questions, Nisha Rawal and Sara Khan represented the blue team. Babita Phogat and Siddharth Sharma from the orange team and Shivam Sharma and Tehseen Poonawala from the blue team had to lift weights. Every wrong answer to a question meant Babita, Siddharth, Shivam and Tehseen had to lift additional weight.
As the episode continued, both the teams were asked to the name of the current President of India. Surprisingly, none among Payal, Poonam, Nisha and Sara knew the right answer. Payal, who is very vocal about political issues on the social media handles, went totally blank. Payal, who often creates controversies for her thoughts on Twitter, didn’t know the word limit on the micro-blogging sites.
In 2021, Payal’s Twitter account was suspended twice in a month for violating its rules.
The contestants were also asked – ‘Where did Vasco da Gama first land in India?’ to which Payal wrote ‘Delhi,’ while Nisha and Sara said ‘Goa’. The correct answer is Calicut (now Kozhikode) in Kerala. As the game continued, the contestants faced several questions related to Bollywood as well.
