The controversy in Bigg Boss OTT 3 intensified when Armaan Malik slapped Vishal Pandey over a compliment about his second wife, Kritika Malik, causing an online divide. A video later showed Vishal and Luv Kataria making inappropriate jokes about Kritika’s gym attire. This incident drew criticism from Payal Malik and host Anil Kapoor. Now, Vishal’s parents have issued a statement.
During the slap incident, Vishal Pandey’s parents broke down in a video, demanding Armaan Malik’s eviction. They expressed their distress, saying they raised Vishal with love and never expected this situation. “Please Bigg Boss, I request you to evict the person who hit my child. We have never raised a hand on him. We didn’t send him to Bigg Boss thinking someone would hit him.”
“We can’t bear this. Since I heard about it, my heart is sinking. In yesterday’s episode, it was shown that Vishal’s personality is fake. Vishal is being shown as he truly is. How can praising someone be wrong? This is not Vishal’s nature. You might say every parent speaks like this, but in reality, Vishal is not like how they are portraying him. Praising someone cannot be wrong.”
They added, “Armaan slapped my son yesterday, and I request Bigg Boss or the makers to evict that criminal. Our family is not like this. We are very simple people. My son has reached there through his hard work.”
Meanwhile, during Weekend Ka Vaar, Armaan Malik’s first wife, Payal, revealed that Vishal had confessed to liking Kritika and feeling guilty about it. Later, Armaan asked Luv Kataria to repeat Vishal’s exact words about Kritika, which angered the YouTuber. This led to Armaan slapping Vishal.
