Last month, the Supreme Court granted pre-arrest bail to Poonam in a case related to a porn films racket also involving Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra. Later last year, Poonam was in the spotlight for accusing her husband Sam Bombay of assault following which she was admitted to the hospital.

The captive reality show will be hosted by the Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut. It will have 16 controversial celebrities locked in a jail for months without the amenities that we normally take for granted.
