A heated argument escalated into a physical altercation within the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house recently, as contestant Armaan Malik slapped Vishal Pandey after a verbal disagreement. The incident occurred during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, where Payal Malik, a former contestant and Malik’s first wife, made an unexpected appearance.
The dispute originated from Pandey's remarks about Malik's second wife, Kritika Malik. In a previous episode, Pandey had openly expressed his fondness for Kritika, stating, "Kritika bhaabi mujhe bohut acchi lagti hai (I like Kritika a lot)." He later confessed, "I like Kritika, and I feel guilty about it." During her visit, Payal Malik confronted Pandey over his statements, asserting, "You're talking about a mother and a wife, and you need to respect that. What you said about Kritika is wrong." Host Anil Kapoor, along with Payal and Armaan, criticized his comments.
However, Pandey insisted that his comments were harmless and not intended to cause offense. Payal challenged him on why he whispered his feelings to another contestant rather than speaking directly to Kritika if he felt no guilt. After Payal's departure, Armaan confronted Pandey again, sparking another heated verbal exchange. Pandey sought reassurance from another contestant, Lovekesh Kataria, who backed Pandey's earlier statement. This intensified the conflict, leading to Armaan physically confronting Pandey and slapping him.
Bigg Boss OTT 3, featuring a diverse cast including Ranvir Shorey, Sana Makbul, Sai Ketan Rao, and others, debuted on JioCinema Premium on June 21, with Anil Kapoor replacing Salman Khan as the host.
