Mumbai: In an explosive turn of events in the reality show Bigg Boss OTT 3, social media influencer and actor Vishal Pandey has been evicted from the house. The star wasted no time in addressing a major controversy that erupted during his stay, involving fellow contestant Payal Malik and her allegations about his intentions towards Kritika Malik. The incident culminated in Vishal being physically assaulted by Armaan Malik inside the house, adding a dramatic twist to the ongoing saga.
Vishal Pandey found himself at the center of a storm after Payal Malik made claims during the ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode, suggesting that Vishal had inappropriate intentions towards Kritika. This claim did not go down well with the audience or Vishal’s supporters. The backlash was immediate, with netizens and Vishal’s fans vociferously defending him and condemning Payal for what they viewed as an attempt to malign his character.
“That Weekend Ka Vaar was very heavy for me. I was being bashed since morning and it ended with the slap. But the name-calling hadn’t stopped, I was zoned out for 3-4 days. Mentally I was just not there in the game,” Vishal said in an emotionally charged interview with the Indian Express. He opened up about the psychological toll the incident took on him, expressing his anguish over the situation.
Vishal further elaborated on his mental state during those tumultuous days: “I just kept thinking about what people outside would be saying about my character, what would my parents think. Payal Malik had twisted the words. I didn’t even remember what I said. There was a point where I wondered if I was wrong. It was all very traumatizing.”
In a bid to set the record straight, Vishal clarified the nature of his interaction with Kritika Malik. “You can call Bhagyashali Bhaiyya to anyone. I had clarified this to Sana Makbul too. I looked at Kritika to check if she was gone. I never checked her out.
. I do feel Armaan is very lucky to have not one but two such caring wives,” he explained, dispelling the rumors that had been circulating about his alleged inappropriate behavior.
The controversy didn’t end there. Vishal’s family, enraged by the physical assault on him by Armaan Malik, decided to take legal action. They demanded Armaan be removed from the show, but the latest eviction saw Vishal exiting the house instead. This outcome left many fans questioning the fairness of the eviction process and the treatment meted out to Vishal.
Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Vishal expressed a degree of acceptance regarding his eviction. He admitted feeling disheartened but resigned to the fact that it was meant to be, and it provided a form of closure to his tumultuous journey in the Bigg Boss house.
His interview revealed the depth of his distress and his desire to clear his name: “I just kept thinking about what people would be saying about my character outside, what would my parents think. Payal Malik had twisted the words. I didn’t remember what I said. There was a point I wondered if I was wrong. It was all very traumatizing.”
Fans across social media platforms have been vociferous in their support for Vishal. Many have condemned Payal Malik for what they see as an unwarranted attack on his character. The hashtag #JusticeForVishal trended soon after the episode aired, showing the massive public support the star garnered.
Vishal’s supporters and family members are not relenting either. They are prepared to pursue the matter legally, underscoring the gravity of the issues raised during the controversial episode. This saga has certainly brought to light the intense emotions and real-world consequences that can arise from reality TV show conflicts.
The drama involving Vishal Pandey, Payal Malik, and Kritika Malik in Bigg Boss OTT 3 has gripped audiences and sparked debates about character assassination, media responsibility, and the psychological impact of reality shows on participants. As Vishal navigates the aftermath of his eviction and the allegations made against him, it remains to be seen how this controversy will unfold and what it will mean for the reputations and futures of those involved.
