Gauahar Khan supports Vishal Pandey amid slap controversy with Armaan Malik on Bigg Boss OTT 3: “Toh kya married logon ko sundar bolna…”

In a recent Instagram story, Gauahar Khan extended her support to Vishal Pandey, who is currently embroiled in a heated controversy on Bigg Boss OTT 3. Gauahar questioned the fairness of the backlash Vishal faced for complimenting Armaan Malik’s second wife, Kritika Malik. She wrote, “Toh kya married logon ko sundar bolna bhi gunah hai!!!!! Kuch bhi. (Is it a crime to call married people beautiful. Doesn’t make sense).” Gauahar’s comment reflects her disbelief at the situation and emphasizes that appreciating someone’s beauty should not be considered offensive.

The viral video incident

The incident began when a video showing Vishal and fellow contestant Luv Kataria making jokes about Kritika’s gym clothes went viral. In the clip, Kritika and Armaan are seen working out in the garden gym area while Vishal and Luv sit nearby. Vishal comments, “Bhaiya Bhagyashaali (Lucky brother),” referring to Armaan, to which Luv responds, “Main samajh gaya (I understood everything).” The conversation escalates with Vishal telling Luv to stay quiet, hinting at impropriety, which Luv acknowledges with embarrassment.

Payal Malik’s accusations and Armaan’s reaction

Adding to the tension, Armaan Malik’s first wife, Payal Malik, claimed on the show that Vishal had admitted to liking Kritika and later regretting his feelings. This disclosure led to a confrontation where Anil Kapoor and Armaan reprimanded Vishal, who denied the accusations. Armaan’s frustration peaked when Vishal asked Luv to repeat his words about Kritika, prompting Armaan to slap Vishal. The altercation was intense, and other housemates had to step in to prevent further escalation.

Anil Kapoor’s role as host

This season of Bigg Boss OTT marks Anil Kapoor’s debut as the show’s host, replacing Salman Khan, who had other professional commitments. The star-studded cast, including Shivani Kumari, Sai Ketan Rao, Sana Makbul, Ranvir Shorey, and Deepak Chaurasia, adds to the drama and excitement of the show. Anil Kapoor’s presence has brought a fresh dynamic to the series, but the controversies continue to stir the pot among the contestants.

The ongoing drama

As tensions remain high in the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house, the incident involving Armaan Malik and Vishal Pandey has divided fans and viewers. With Gauahar Khan’s support for Vishal and ongoing conflicts among contestants, the show promises more drama and unexpected twists. The reactions from housemates and the public will undoubtedly shape the narrative as the season progresses, keeping the audience hooked to the unfolding events.

The latest controversy on Bigg Boss OTT 3 has not only stirred emotions within the house but also among the viewers and former contestants like Gauahar Khan. Her support for Vishal Pandey adds another layer to the complex dynamics of the show, highlighting how a single incident can spark widespread debate and division.

Sonakshi Sinha addresses pregnancy rumours; says, “ab hum hospital nahi ja sakte”

Sonakshi Sinha has finally spoken out about her pregnancy speculations, just days after her wedding to Zaheer Iqbal. The actress was recently photographed by paparazzi outside a Mumbai hospital, prompting speculation that she is expecting her first child with Zaheer Iqbal. However, in a recent interview, the actress made a sly dig at the speculations, revealing that she can’t even go to the hospital since people believe she is pregnant.

“The only change is ab hum hospital nahi ja sakte kyunki jaise hi aap niklo logon ko lagta hai aap pregnant ho. That’s the only difference,” Sonakshi told Times Now.

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal married on June 23, 2024. The pair had a private wedding at the former’s Bandra home. Later, when uploading wedding photos online, the newlyweds wrote, “On this very day, seven years back (23.06.2017) in each others eyes, we saw love in its purest form and decided to hold on to it. Today that love has guided us through all the challenges and triumphs… leading up to this moment… where with the blessings of both our families and both our gods… we are now man and wife. Here’s to love, hope and all things beautiful with each other, from now until forever. Sonakshi Zaheer 23.06.2024.”

There were allegations that Sonakshi’s brother, Kussh Sinha, was furious and did not attend her wedding. However, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Kussh claimed that he was an integral part of the gala night, debunking claims that the Sinhas were dissatisfied with Sonakshi and Zaheer’s union.

Sonakshi told News18, “I have already seen people publishing inaccurate information. It started with an article in a leading portal that had a quote by an unnamed source. I am not sure who’s doing all this right now and where it’s coming from. But a few houses have my images [from the night],”
