Bigg Boss OTT 3: Payal Malik, a contestant on Bigg Boss OTT 3, was evicted from the show on Sunday night after failing to secure enough audience votes. The announcement was made on the official JioCinema Instagram page, which shared a picture of Payal with the caption, "Janta ne suna diya hai apna faisla (The people have announced their verdict), Payal Malik is out of the house!"
Payal Malik gets evicted
Payal entered the show with her husband, Armaan Malik, and his second wife, Kritika Malik. Fans reacted strongly to her eviction, expressing their disappointment and calling the decision unfair. One fan commented, "Not fair. What are Deepak, Munisha, Naezy, and Sana Sultan doing there? Totally unfair and biased decision. Bigg Boss should be boycotted because of their biasedness towards the contestant." Another said, "But Payal doesn't deserve this. Unfair eviction."
Supporters of Payal also voiced their frustration, with comments like, "She deserves to stay, but I know the world isn't for good people. It's proved here again," and "Payal came out with million fans and dignity." Another fan remarked, "Nothing happens by voting; only those will be evicted whom Bigg Boss wants to evict," while someone else added, "Payal Malik is deserving; she is already a winner."
During the show, host Anil Kapoor informed the contestants that the 'baharwala' (outsider) had saved two contestants from nominations: Armaan Malik and Deepak Chaurasia. Sai Ketan Rao, the 'baharwala' in the Bigg Boss OTT house, saved Sana Sultan from elimination during a task and lost the 'baharwala' tag. The new 'baharwala' in the house is Lovekesh Kataria.
On Sunday, Lovekesh Kataria and Shivani Kumari were also nominated for eviction along with Payal Malik. When host Anil Kapoor asked the contestants who they thought would be eliminated, all confidently expressed that their fans would save them. However, Ranvir Shorey and Sai Ketan Rao mentioned that Payal had a higher chance of getting evicted.
Armaan's Reaction to Payal's Eviction
Anil asked Armaan Malik about his thoughts on Payal's possible eviction. Armaan responded, "I am prepared. If she gets eliminated, then she will go home and take care of our four kids. And if she stays, then she hasn't done anything that would get her eliminated this soon." Anil replied with the phrase, "Chit bhi meri, patt bhi meri," meaning to have things both ways. He then announced Payal's eviction from the show.
Previous Evictions
This eviction marks the second in the first week of Bigg Boss OTT 3. Earlier, boxer Neeraj Goyat was eliminated from the show. On the second day of the Weekend Ka Vaar, Raghav Juyal and Lakshya Lalwani appeared on the show to promote their upcoming film, 'Kill.'
