The curtain fell on Bigg Boss OTT Season 3, with Sana Makbul taking home the coveted winner’s trophy. Among the top five finalists, Kritika Malik’s journey ended in fifth place during the intense finale episode. Shortly after the show concluded, a video clip began circulating online, capturing the dramatic aftermath of Kritika Malik’s eviction announcement by host Anil Kapoor.
In the footage, Kritika stands up from the couch upon hearing her elimination. As she departs, she extends good wishes to fellow contestant Ranvir Shorey, who warmly embraces her and gives her a peck on the cheek. This affectionate gesture, however, drew a noticeable reaction from Armaan Malik, Kritika’s husband.
Kritika appeared slightly uncomfortable with Ranvir’s actions but maintained her composure, turning her face away before reciprocating the hug. The cameras didn’t miss Armaan Malik’s visible displeasure, as he shot a stern glare at Ranvir following the cheek kiss.
This wasn’t the first time tensions ran high on the show. An earlier incident involved a controversial slap between Vishal Pandey and Armaan Malik. The drama unfolded after Pandey complimented Kritika’s beauty to fellow housemate Lovekesh Kataria, confessing his guilt over finding her attractive.
Payal Malik revealed Pandey’s remark during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, leading to a fiery altercation where Armaan slapped Pandey, shocking both contestants and viewers. Although this violated the show’s non-violence policy, Armaan was not ejected from the house. Instead, he faced a special penalty, being nominated for elimination for the entire season.
Adding to the tension, Vishal’s parents appeared on the show, assuring him of their support. However, media personnel later informed Armaan that Lovekesh, along with Vishal, had also expressed admiration for Kritika, further intensifying Armaan’s frustration.
Hosted by the charismatic Anil Kapoor, Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 concluded with rapper Naezy securing the first runner-up position and Ranvir Shorey finishing as the second runner-up. Sai Ketan Rao and Kritika Malik rounded out the top five finalists. The grand finale aired on August 2, marking the end of an exhilarating season. With the show wrapped up, contestants are now turning their attention back to their personal lives and future endeavors.
