Former Bigg Boss contestants and celebrities like Gauahar Khan, Kushal Tandon, Ajaz Khan, and others have reacted strongly to the recent slap incident on Bigg Boss OTT 3, where Armaan Malik slapped Vishal Pandey for passing a comment on his wife. While some like Gauahar and Rajiv Adatia supported Vishal's actions, others like Kishwer Merchantt and Poulomi Das felt he was wrong to comment on a married woman. Let’s take a look at celebs who reacted over the same..
Gauahar, who never fails to express her opinions on the controversial reality show Bigg Boss expressed her take on the slap incident. The actress took to her social media handle and made a post questioning her fans if calling a married woman, ‘beautiful’ is wrong. She wrote, “Toh kya married logon ko sundar bolna bhi gunah hai !!!!???? Kuch bhi.”
Kushal had a similar take as Abhishek Shukla. The former Bigg Boss contestant called Bigg Boss out and demanded actions against Armaan Malik. His tweet read, “Ek time tha Bigg boss use to be so good , ab Ek ye time hain cringe contestants , cringe content ….. and ab Bigg boss ke cringe rules ageya , chataaaa maroooo content ke naaam pain. This is so weird , Bigg boss ott is goin to dogs already ,But seriously makers a slap is allowed ? And you are now allowed to call some one sunder if she is married ? Ye Kaunsa jurm jain boss ? That asshole who slapped should be out or else , every one should slap everyone.”
Abhinav questioned the makers of Bigg Boss and mentioned how ‘wrong is wrong’ and violence is against the contract of the contestants. His tweet read, “Just saw the THAPPAD clip.. Amount of Gyan & Moral education Bigg Boss preaches each season (which now sounds like a joke) should have led to evection of Armaan moment he slapped the other contestant. It’s a clear policy & is written in the Contract. Now #BiggBossOTT3 is debating how wrong was the wrong .. if it is so wrong that people want Armaan out then let’s wait it out for the anger & TRP to go up. Fine NICE MORALS.”
Anjali was quite angry after the latest episode and questioned Armaan’s actions. She opposed the slap incident and called him out for the same while expressing her support for Vishal. Her post read, “Hypocrisy ki hadh dekhlo.. Jo insaan ne apni biwi ko dhokha diya.. society mein bakayda galat message de rahe hai ke polygamy theek hai.. "hojata hai" Itna hi hai toh videsh jakar bas jao.. humare culture mein ye cheez honi sahi hai? Uparse @vishalpandey 21_21 ne aesa kya galat bol diya? Bhabhi acchi lagti hai.. ismein galat kya hai? Na koi cheap comments maare na koi badtameezi kari. Tumhari tarah Armaan usne 7 dinn mein patakar shadi ke Liye propose thodi kar Diya.. Aur hinsa violence hum kabhi support nahi karege. Tum karo toh feelings hai aa gai.. kisi aur ne apni feelings express ki toh use Thapad padh gaya.. kyu? Tum pehle bhi galat the Armaan.. Aur ab bhi galat ho!”
Elvish posted a vlog on his YouTube channel and took a stand for Vishal Pandey. He mentioned how Bigg Boss should evict Armaan Malik as violence is a ‘rule break’ of the BB house. The YouTuber and reality show star even recalled how Abhishek Kumar slapped Samarth Jurel in the previous season and was still kept in the house. He said, “Violence is totally not okay. Bigg Boss should evict him and continue the legacy rather than keeping Armaan in the house. In the previous season, Abhishek was also kept in the show.”
Sandiip Sikcand lashes out at the platform and the show on tolerating and allowing violence and justifying it further. He wrote, “Physical violence is NEVER a "special case"!
Just because you dont want to lose a contestant because of the
"content"
, you find different reasons, each season, to justify violence !! Every person who uses violence has his own "justified" reason & here we have so called reputed people justifying that!! Not cool at all !!
This show, once upon a time, had a voice that said - VIOLENCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED, today however it comes with a tag that says - conditions apply !! And yes, when did BIGG BOSS become so weak that he needs contestants to tell him what to do !!! DISGUSTING!!!
Shame on you !!

Ajaz, a former Bigg Boss contestant who was evicted from the show over violence made a tweet over the same. He mentioned how he was thrown out of the show from hitting Ali Quli Mirza. His tweet read, “Now what ? ? U punish me for this when i did to ali mirza @BiggBoss @ColorsTV #ArmaanMalik #BiggBoss #ThalapathyVijay.”
Poulomi Das, who recently got evicted from the controversial reality show opposed Vishal’s comment about a ‘married woman.’ She wrote, “So disgusting behaviour #VishalPandey!!!! You're not supposed to say all those things about married girl on national television. And the sad thing is you're justifying for whatever gross you said #BiggBossOTT3 #BBOTT3.”
Rajiv, who is an avid Bigg Boss watcher and a former contestant of the show shared his opinion on the slap incident as well. He mentioned how Bigg Boss should take a step against Armaan over the same. He wrote, “After watching yesterday weekend ka vaar vishal wasn’t wrong at all. Complimenting a married person isn’t a crime. He didn’t say anything wrong. If compliments are bad then should he have said something negative. This shouldn’t have even been brought up! Poor vishal.”
Rakhi made a post on social media while talking about the whole incident. She sided Vishal and mentioned how calling someone ‘beautiful’ isn’t that big of a deal. Rakhi said, “Bigg Boss doesn’t wrong anyone. Vishal has only called Kritika ‘beautifu’ and I don’t think anything is wrong in that. Bigg Boss how could you tolerate such a thing. He didn’t use any demeaning words for her and only called her beautiful. Armaan should be thrown out of the house.”
While many supported Vishal, Kishwer’s take on the situation was different. She mentioned how it was important to school Vishal for passing such statements about Kritika. She tweeted, “I don't know Armaan or Vishal but I think Vish was completely wrong in what he did , Everyone is only talking about that one incident where he clearly said I am guilty about something, what about the next morning when they were checking out Kritika in a derogatory way! #BBOTT3.”
