Reality TV crossovers sound exciting on paper, but contracts don’t always cooperate. Fresh off her Lock Upp Season 2 run, Pamala Serena has addressed swirling rumors about jumping straight into Bigg Boss 20 — and her answer isn’t the yes fans were hoping for.

## Why She Can’t Join Just Yet

Speaking with Telly Talk India about the possibility of appearing on another reality show, Pamala explained that Lock Upp 2 contestants are currently under a waiting period, unable to sign on to new reality formats for several months — despite receiving what she described as a steady stream of offers.

When pressed directly on whether Bigg Boss 20 had approached her, Pamala kept things deliberately vague, simply saying she couldn’t reveal that information. She did share her upcoming plans, though, hinting at frequent trips back to India for ongoing project commitments in the near future.

## What’s Brewing for Bigg Boss 20

Meanwhile, anticipation for Bigg Boss 20 is already building. Salman Khan’s first promo shows him making a dramatic horseback entrance, referencing the classic Bollywood film [Karan Arjun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karan_Arjun) with a promise that its reincarnation theme will echo inside the Bigg Boss house this season. A second teaser adds another twist, revealing that every contestant will receive a “vardaan,” or boon, hinting at a mythology-inspired season format.

With Lock Upp 2 alumni like Pamala and Shreya Kalra both facing similar contractual cooldowns, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see if any crossover actually happens.
