House Arrest, which began streaming on April 11, 2025, is marketed as an unfiltered version of popular captive reality formats like Bigg Boss and Lock Upp. Hosted by former Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan, the show features 12 participants—nine women and three men—locked inside a luxury villa, performing a series of controversial tasks.
One particularly criticised segment shows Khan instructing contestants to demonstrate sexual positions, prompting severe backlash online. In another moment, when a female contestant expressed unfamiliarity with a particular act, Khan allegedly asked other participants to enact it on camera.
Amid growing public concern, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi took to X, stating, 'I have raised this in the Standing Committee that apps like Ullu and Alt Balaji have managed to evade I&B ministry's ban on obscene content. I am still awaiting their response.'
