The ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ drama seems to not end but rather aggravating! Conflict between Bigg Boss OTT contestants Vishal Pandey and Armaan Malik’s slap incident has intensified in the most recent season. After Vishal made a disgusting comment about Armaan's wife, the two got into a heated argument that escalated into a physical conflict. While some people have felt sorry for Vishal, there's a group that thinks Armaan had every right to smack Vishal. Let’s dig into what the slap controversy is all about and how it started.
Payal Malik Reveals Vishal Pandey's Remark on Kritika Malik
YouTube fame Armaan Malik’s first wife and evicted contestant Payal Malik made an appearance on this past weekend's episode as a guest. She said that Vishal had confessed to Love Kataria that he likes Kritika in their private discussion. 'Bhai Bhagyashaali (Lucky Brother)' is Vishal's statement as he points towards Armaan in another video when he watches Kritika exercising.
Lovekesh Kataria was the sole person confirming the statement “I find bhabhi beautiful” passed by Vishal Panday.
Payal criticised Vishal for saying making such a vulgar comment. She said, "What you said about Kritika is unacceptable! She’s a mother and a wife, and you need to respect that.”
Armaan Malik Slaps Vishal Pandey
Unfortunately, Vishal Pandey's remark was misinterpreted by the majority of the contestants, leading to a heated argument between him and Armaan Malik. While Vishal protested that his remarks were incorrectly stated, Armaan slapped him and scolded him.

Kushal Tandon tweeted “This is so weird, Bigg Boss OTT is going to dogs already, But seriously makers a slap is allowed? And you are now allowed to call someone sunder if she is married? Ye kaunsa jurm hain boss?. That asshole who slapped should be out or else, everyone should slap”.
Gauahar Khan posted a story on Instagram “Toh kya married log sunder nahin hote kya?”.
Abhinav Shukla was too seen voicing his opinion against Armaan Malik and tweeted “Just saw the THAPPAD clip.. amount of Gyan and Moral education Bigg Boss preaches each season (which now sounds like a joke) should have led to eviction of Armaan moment he slapped the other contestant.. It’s clear policy and is written in the contract. Now #BiggBossOTT3 is debating how wrong was the wrong.. if it is so wrong that people want Armaan out then let’s wait it out for the anger and TRP to go up. Fine NICE MORALS.”
'Bigg Boss OTT 2' participant Aashika Bhatia and Vishal Pandey's longtime friend also came in support of him. She wrote, "I'm really shocked that this is happening, Vishal is being targetted."
Vishal Pandey's Parents Demand Armaan Malik's Eviction
Vishal Panday’s parents also posted a heartfelt, touching message on social media. The influencer's parents requested that makers remove Armaan Malik from the show after he hit Vishal Pandey during a violent confrontation. A video message from Vishal's mother conveyed her dismay at her son's exposure to such brutality on the reality programme. She said, neither she nor Vishal's father had ever used physical punishment on their kid.
His sister also spoke out in his defence, saying he was 'misunderstood'.
Meanwhile, ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ continues to stream daily at 9 pm on JioCinema.
