Viral Video Sparks Outrage
The viral video has sparked significant backlash, with many viewers criticizing the show for allegedly airing explicit content on a platform intended for family viewing.
In a related development, on Monday, July 22, Shiv Sena Secretary and Spokesperson, MLA Manisha Kayande, met with the Mumbai police commissioner to demand a ban on the reality show. She told ANI, “‘Bigg Boss [OTT] 3’ is a reality show. The shooting is going on. It’s an absolute vulgarity that is going on and that has been depicted here.”
YouTuber Armaan Malik and his two wives, Payal and Kritika, are among the contestants on “Bigg Boss OTT 3”. Payal Malik was recently evicted from the show. Their participation has sparked widespread criticism, with many accusing the show’s producers of promoting polygamy by providing a platform for this unconventional family arrangement.
