Bigg Boss OTT 3, hosted by Anil Kapoor, premiered on June 21 and has already become a hotbed of drama. Among the contestants is YouTuber Armaan Malik, known for his unique family dynamic of having two wives, Kritika and Payal.
Popular actress Devoleena Bhattacharya has openly criticized Malik’s inclusion in the show, voicing strong objections to his polygamous relationship.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Devoleena Bhattacharya did not hold back her disapproval of Armaan Malik’s participation in Bigg Boss OTT 3. She tweeted, “Do you think this is entertainment? This is not entertainment, it’s filth.” Devoleena questioned the ethics of promoting polygamy on national television, sharing a series of tweets that expressed her disgust and concern.
In one of her tweets, she wrote, “Don’t make the mistake of taking this lightly because it’s not just a reel, it’s real. I mean, I can’t even understand how anyone can call this shamelessness entertainment? I feel disgusted just hearing about it. Gross. I mean, in just 6/7 days love happened, marriage happened, and then the same thing with the wife’s best friend.”
Devoleena also questioned Bigg Boss’s decision to include such contestants, pointing out the potential negative influence on viewers, especially the younger audience. She emphasized the importance of the Special Marriage Act and Uniform Civil Code to prevent societal degradation.
She tweeted, “And Bigg Boss, what has happened to you? Kya itne bure din chal rahe hai apke that you find polygamy entertaining? What were you thinking when you introduced such contestants? This show is watched by people from children to the elderly.”
Devoleena’s strong stance sparked a heated debate on social media. While some supported her view, others felt that reality TV is meant to showcase diverse lifestyles and should not be censored. Her tweets highlighted the ongoing discussion about the role of reality TV in shaping societal norms and values.
She concluded her series of tweets with, “As a society, we are only heading towards destruction. Truly people have gone mad. And Bigg Boss, I don’t know what has happened to you. #Disguistingtothecore.”
Devoleena Bhattacharya gained fame by taking over the role of Gopi Bahu from Giaa Manek in Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. She later became a popular contestant on Bigg Boss 13, known for her outspoken nature and strong opinions.
Bigg Boss OTT 3 continues to stir controversy and debate, raising questions about the boundaries of entertainment and the impact of media on societal values.
