Faisal Shaikh, the internet’s favorite Mr. Faisu, just got candid in an exclusive chat, and honestly, it’s a fun one. From dodging reality show offers to comparing his celebrity friends to spices and veggies, the content-creator-turned-actor gave fans plenty to talk about.
Why Isn’t Faisal Doing Lock Upp 2?
When asked about joining the buzzing Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh-hosted show, Faisal was straightforward — he isn’t chasing new reality TV gigs anymore. He believes the makers likely want fresh faces this season, and his focus has shifted entirely towards grooming himself for movies and OTT platforms instead.
He did leave one door open though: if reality TV calls again, he’d only step in as a host or gang leader, not a contestant.

The Food Analogy Fans Are Loving
In a playful moment, Faisal described his industry friends using everyday ingredients. Krushna Abhishek was likened to a versatile potato, Bharti Singh to cardamom loved in every dish, and Karan Kundrra to clove — currently in high demand. Tejasswi Prakash and Jannat Zubair earned the “bird’s eye chilli” tag for being small but packing a punch.
Faisal’s journey from short-form creator to television personality mirrors the broader rise of influencer culture, a shift closely tied to the growth of platforms like YouTube, which helped many digital-first stars transition into mainstream entertainment.
