Bigg Boss OTT 3: The reality show 'Bigg Boss OTT 3' has been a hotbed of controversies this season. From Armaan Malik's polygamous relationships to a fake video involving Armaan and Kritika, the show has consistently grabbed headlines. Now another fiasco has brought the show into the limelight once again. Jio Cinema, the platform airing the show, mistakenly announced Vishal Pandey's eviction on Wednesday, only to delete the post shortly after. This slip-up led to widespread speculation among fans, who questioned whether the eviction decision had already been made in advance. 


Netizens' react to Jio Cinema's now-deleted post


The accidental announcement ignited a social media storm, with fans expressing their frustration and disbelief. Vishal Pandey's friend, Aliya Hamidi, took to Instagram to voice her outrage. 


 "If they’re planning to evict Vishal, I’m sorry I’m gonna lose all my faith in the makers! What a biased show! I wonder which respected artist would even want to enter Bigg Boss next season if decent people are being treated this way! I’m sorry if they evict Vishal, I’m not watching the rest of this season," she wrote. 




Social media influencer Samiksha Sud also weighed in on the controversy, saying, "I hope this isn’t true. Vishal doesn’t deserve this. The show deserves decent people to be on it, not criminals." 




Lovekesh Kataria, Vishal Pandey and Shivani Kumari are nominated this week. 


Vishal Pandey and Armaan Malik controversy


Earlier, Vishal Pandey was slapped by Armaan Malik for passing a comment on his second wife Kritika Malik. In a conversation with Lovekesh Kataria, Vishal had said that he finds Kritika beautiful and feels guilty about it.   


Later Vishal’s parents also came on Weekend Ka Vaar to support their son. Upon seeing them, Vishal broke down in tears. Witnessing their son’s emotional state, Vishal’s parents also became teary-eyed. His father said, “Vishal, you have not done anything wrong. We have never touched our son, and we have not given anyone the right to come and slap our son.” “If you want to know about his character... talk to his family and friends outside about what kind of person he is.”  


Armaan Malik then stated that his friend Lovekesh Kataria confirmed Vishal made remarks about his second wife, Kritika Malik, which sparked the controversy. In response, Vishal’s father said, “Armaan ji, I don’t want to speak with you.”
