Sunita Ahuja Refuses Food Over Conditions Inside The House
Tensions escalated after Sunita voiced her anger over the quality of food being served inside the jail. She claimed that contestants were being taken for granted because they had not protested and urged fellow inmates to stand with her.
Speaking in frustration, she said, “We have to beg for food now? All of you should stand with me. All my kids are also hungry. The soup tastes like crow's piss. Added with some sh*t too."
Following the confrontation, Sunita refused to eat, while several contestants gathered around her in an attempt to calm her down and convince her to have a meal.
After spending the night without food, Sunita appeared visibly upset the following morning. She made it clear that she no longer wanted to continue in the competition and regretted ignoring Govinda's advice before entering the show.
She said, “Just because I am being decent and not my own self, it doesn't mean you do this for footage. I want to leave today! I am done. Mere ko Chi Chi (What she calls Govinda) mana kar raha tha mat ja mat ja Jab jab uska baat nahi maana na pachtayi hoon main [Whenever I have not listened to him, I have suffered]. I don't even want to stay here.”

Ram Kapoor admitted that he no longer felt suited to the competition, saying, "Ye show mere liye galat hai, mai iss show ke liye bhi galat hu shayad. I should've not said yes to a show like this. I need to exit this show as soon as possible, I'll not participate in this show anymore." [This show is not right for me, and perhaps I am not right for this show either. I shouldn't have agreed to do a show like this. I need to exit this show as soon as possible. I will not participate in this show anymore.]
