Lock Upp day 23 written update: Payal Rohatgi, Anjali Arora, Nisha Rawal, Ali Merchant nominated for eviction

Day 23 in the Lock Upp begins with new entrant Chetan Hansraj enjoying the morning drill. Meanwhile, Shivam Sharma sleeps in the kitchen and the guard notices him but Shivam begs to cut from his pay. When the guard doesn't agree, Shivam asks him to calm down and leaves, only to come back and hide in the tub. This time he peeks out after Chetan, Poonam Pandey and Ali Merchant figure he's hiding. Chetan even names him 'gamche wale baba'.

The inmates lose their gas service. They have to clean the prison and fast in order to earn the gas service back.

During the task, Ali tries to talk to his ex-wife Sara Khan again and she refuses to do so. Ali says he wants to talk to Sara because he doesn't want negative energies around them. As the two argue, Shivam hears them slyly. He was hitting on Sara before Ali's entry.

Ali taunts Sara and tells her why she didn't settle down in life. She defends the statement saying she is very well settled in her life. Ali asks Sara not to overreact and she says she will. As he accuses her of going behind controversies, she accuses him of encashing on the controversy. Ali goes on to accuse Sara that she calls the media to feed on her controversies. After Ali leaves, Shivam asks Sara to not react to him. Later, Ali re-enters and pleads to Sara not to talk ill about him. She refuses to have done that and he says he hopes she hasn't said things about him. Soon, Sara asks Ali not to 'instigate her' and he leaves. Shivam then asks Sara if he can give her suggestions as a friend and she says she can fight for herself and he shouldn't interfere. Shivam says he would beat up Ali and thus, the DJ talks to him sweetly.

Nisha Rawal says she found dead mosquitoes in the dishes and that irks Anjali Arora, who asks her not to start with the drama early in the morning. Poonam Pandey and Sara also tell Nisha the same thing.

Saisha Shinde complains about Munawar Faruqui maintaining distance from her. She says that even if Munawar feels something for someone, he doesn't show it because he's scared it would affect his game. Saisha then promises to break the stigma that a man cannot fall for a transgender woman. Karanvir Bohra and Poonam praise her move and motivation for it.

Later, Sara praises Poonam for changing her game. The latter gives Sara a hug in return and discusses how she hid the real Poonam in her and brought it out only now. Poonam says she has understood now that she got played at the hands of Munawar.

Poonam and Sara talk to Payal Rohatgi and clear things out. Payal tells Poonam that Munawar tried to tell her that Poonam doesn't like her. This leaves Poonam shocked. Payal then tells Poonam that Munawar told Payal to pick a fight with Poonam to be seen for the whole week.

While Poonam flatters Munawar and Anjali Arora, Sara and Payal discuss how inmates' real colours come out during chargesheet and on judgement day. Munawar and Anjali discuss that Poonam is trying to be good with the girls to be safe from the chargesheet.

Soon, Sara asks Saisha and Shivam to play with Munawar since he is manipulating everyone in the Lock Upp. Munawar says he'll pull people's legs.

The criminal list is here and the inmates break the first rule itself by trying to scratch their names behind plates. In return, the jailor (Karan Kundrra) takes away some of their ration.

Saisha talks to Anjali since Munawar is sitting with her. When he walks out, Saisha goes in the smoking room. She comes back when he comes and within no time, talks about her 'badan ki garmi' along with Poonam. Munawar walks out as that episode begins. He is seen talking to Sara about how they are both in the same situation - her with Shivam and him with Saisha.

There is a milk and egg situation in the house, which irks Shivam. Soon, one contestant from each team has to go in the Benakaab zone. Anjali goes from Team Blue and Payal goes from Team Orange.

Payal and Anjali get the opportunity to pick who can vote for the chargesheet (evictions). Saisha argues with Payal when she doesn't pick her for someone who can vote for the chargesheet.

Saisha spills what Team Orange is deciding. Payal nominates Saisha, Shivam and Anjali. Munawar nominates Payal, Chetan and Nisha. Poonam and Anjali name Payal. On the other hand, Chetan names Munawar. Ali nominates Sara. He says he didn't want to patch up with her again but neutralize things. Nisha names Poonam and Anjali. While Saisha refuses to participate with Team Orange, Karanvir nominates Payal and Nisha.

Payal, Anjali, Nisha and Ali are a part of the chargesheet. Saisha asks Payal about who voted for whom which also leads to an argument between the two. Saisha says she wanted to understand who was betraying Payal and walks out of solidary confinement, where Payal is captured. When Payal calls her out, Saisha says she is done.
