When the words “match fixing” appeared on the screen, Pamala looked visibly nervous before clarifying that she had never been involved in fixing matches. Instead, she explained that she had received insider tips through a friend who knew several cricketers.
Sharing her story, Pamala said, “When I was a student, I had a friend. He was close friends with several cricketers. And he used to get tips about who would win, who would score. The information came straight from the team. In London, we have bookies where you can gamble and make bets. So, I took tips from my friend, then I placed bets. I made a lot of money. But I am not proud of it.” Her confession immediately became one of the most talked-about moments of the episode.

She says betting was legal where she lived
Pamala further explained that betting was legal in London, where she was living at the time. She admitted that earning easy money felt exciting during her student years, but she eventually realised it was not the right path. According to Pamala, she now looks back at that phase with regret and believes it was a mistake driven by the temptation of quick financial gains. She stressed that although she enjoyed the profits then, she is not proud of the decisions she made.
