Faisal Shaikh states he isn’t looking for shows like Lock Upp 2
Pinkvilla recently went behind-the-scenes to show the audience what Faisal Shaikh’s day looks like. During a quick luncheon, we spoke to him about his stint in the cooking-comedy show, Laughter Chefs-Entertainment Unlimited.
Mr. Faisu told us that he enjoys watching Laughter Chefs wherein the contestants are funnily taking a dig at each other and rejoicing the time on set together. Talking about his experience of being on the show, the model and aspiring actor stated that all the contestants are like family now.
“At any event, you will see all of them together. It’s a good thing to stay together, work together. It’s a different kind of fun,” he divulged, adding that if the makers of the show call him again, he will definitely give an appearance in it.
During the interview, Faizu jumped to a fun chat session in which he described his co-contestant using food items. For comedy-actor Krushna Abhishek, Shaikh said he’s a potato who perfectly fits everywhere.
“He is doing well in movies, comedy, and his relationship with other artists is also good,” Faizu stated, adding that comedian Bharti Singh is like cardamom, who is loved in tea and biryani both.
Calling Karan Kundrra clove, the content creator stated that the Desi Bling fame is in demand currently. For him, Ankita Lokhande is like red chilli while Tejasswi Prakash and Jannat Zubair are like bird’s eye chilli: “chota packed bada dhamaka (small demeaner great power).”

When asked what his future looks like, the Celebrity Master Chef contestant stated that while he is done with reality shows, he would only consider being part of them, not as a contestant but as a host or gang leader.
“I am not chasing new reality shows, nor do I have any interest. Currently, I am looking forward to grooming myself and starring in movies and OTT platforms,” he shared.
Currently, Lock Upp 2 is trending big time. Was he also offered to be part of the show? Revealing more about it, the television personality expressed that maybe the makers of the show want to showcase fresh faces.
So, it’s a no from him for the Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh-hosted show. We are excited to know what’s next in store for this talented guy.
