Bigg Boss OTT 3’s Vishal Pandey calls Armaan Malik insecure, clarifies his ‘Bhagyashali Bhaiyya’ remark: ‘I never checked out Kritika’

It was unfortunate for Vishal Pandey to face eviction from Bigg Boss OTT 3, which is in its last leg. Recently, the social media influencer spoke to Indianexpress.com about his journey on the show. He even revisited his rivalry with Armaan Malik and defended his friendship with Lovekesh Kataria.

Talking about his eviction, Vishal said, “I feel very disheartened, but I guess it was not destined. I don’t know what went wrong. I played with all my heart. I can say hard luck.”

When asked if befriending Lovekesh Kataria was a mistake, Vishal Pandey disagreed and said, “There was an incident where he didn’t take a stand for me. I felt very bad about it. But if one thing has gone wrong, he has done 10 things right too. So I look at those, and not that one incident. It felt bad when he brought up that incident in the task, but I gave him that freedom. When I learned that my parents were okay about it, I didn’t get bothered if they spoke about the incident.”

On the show, Vishal Pandey’s biggest rivalry was with Armaan Malik. Besides indulging in name-calling, Armaan and Vishal were involved in a slap incident. Talking about their bitter equation, Vishal declared that Armaan is insecure about him and said, “Our bitter equation started on day two itself. I didn’t like his vibe because he spoke a lot about the game. Later, when I nominated him, things got bad. Then I figured he was two-faced. He is insecure of me. He lost topic for his content after my eviction. His entire game revolved around me. I could see his insecurity in everything.”

For those who don’t know, Vishal was slapped by Armaan after the latter learned about a remark Vishal made about his wife Kritika Malik. Talking about the incident, Vishal said, “That Weekend Ka Vaar was very heavy for me. I was being bashed since morning and it ended with the slap. But the name calling hadn’t stopped, I was zoned out for 3-4 days. Mentally I was just not there in the game.”

“I just kept thinking what people would be saying about my character outside, what would my parents think. Payal Malik had twisted the words. I didn’t remember what I said. There was a point I wondered if I was wrong. It was all very traumatizing,” he added.

Defending his remark about Kritika Malik and accusations of checking her out, Vishal Pandey shared, “You can call Bhagyashali Bhaiyya to anyone. I had clarified this to Sana Makbul too. I looked at Kritika to check if she was gone. I never checked her out. I do feel Armaan is very lucky to have not one but two such caring wives.”

Pointing at the damage this incident caused to his image, Vishal said, “People were not understanding that they were character assassinating me. It has damaged my image a lot. I still don’t get why Armaan was not pulled up for this. Even Chandrika’s involvement in that matter was unnecessary.”

On a parting note, Vishal Pandey said he is just soaking up all the love from his fans now.
