Bigg Boss OTT 3 wrapped up last week with Sana Makbul emerging as the champion, but the finale night was rife with drama and emotions. Kritika Malik, who was among the top five contestants, became the first to be eliminated during the grand finale.
A video circulating online captures the moments following Kritika’s elimination announcement by Anil Kapoor. In the clip, Kritika Malik is seen standing up from her couch and bidding farewell to fellow contestant Ranvir Shorey, saying, “All the best, Ranvir Ji.” Ranvir responds with a hug and a kiss on her cheek, which sparked a reaction from Armaan Malik, Kritika’s husband. The footage shows Armaan’s visible displeasure at the intimate gesture, further fueling the ongoing drama.

One of the most talked-about incidents from the season was when Armaan Malik slapped Vishal Pandey. The altercation occurred after Vishal was accused of making inappropriate remarks about Kritika. Payal Malik, in a Weekend Ka Vaar episode, revealed that Vishal admitted to liking Kritika and feeling remorseful. Vishal later claimed that his words were taken out of context, but the situation escalated, leading to Armaan slapping him. Vishal’s parents also appeared on the show to confront Armaan, who eventually apologized for his actions.
In the aftermath, Payal Malik issued a public apology, stating, “Ab na mujhe kisise kuch bolna hi nhi hai. Armaan ji ne itne bade national TV pe agar unhone jo thappad mara tha uski maafi mang li hai vo bohot badi baat hai. Mujhe bhi ab uspe baat nhi karni. Mai bhi haath jodke maafi mangti hu. Vishal ne Armaan ne or Kritika ne is topic ko khatam kar diya hai toh mai bhi is topic ko Khatam kar rahi hu.”
Vishal Pandey, reflecting on the impact of the controversy, shared in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, “Nobody used to sit with me except Lovekesh Kataria, Sana Makbul, and Shivani Kumari. Nobody talked to me. They looked at me as if I were a monster. It was so difficult. I felt suffocated. Comments were made about my character. It was tough.”
As the dust settles on the dramatic season, fans and participants are left to reflect on the intense moments that defined Bigg Boss OTT 3.
