Ranvir Shorey supports Armaan Malik for his polygamous relationship, says "film stars bhi hai jinki 2 biwi hai but unko koi judge nahi karta"

Ranvir Shorey, a renowned actor known for his candid opinions, has once again stirred up a conversation in the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house. In a recent press conference organized within the Bigg Boss house, Shorey defended Armaan Malik, Payal, and Kritika Malik's polygamous relationship, making a striking observation about the film industry and its audience.

 
As the finale of Bigg Boss OTT 3 approaches, tensions inside the house have heightened, with various relationships and dynamics coming under scrutiny. During the press conference, contestants were subjected to a barrage of questions from journalists. Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik, in particular, faced intense scrutiny due to their polygamous relationship, which sparked debates both inside and outside the house. The criticism revolved around the notion that such relationships are a form of mistreatment of women, leading to heated discussions among the housemates and viewers.

 
Amidst this backdrop, Ranvir Shorey stepped in with a thought-provoking perspective. He pointed out the prevalent double standards in society, especially in how relationships are judged. Shorey stated, "Agar aap urban, elite, liberal hote jaise bahut hai jinke 2 biwi hai, main naam nahi lena chahta logon ke jo samjho film stars hai, urban elites hai, unpe itne judgemental shayad hi honge. Maine aapke sath time guzara hai." ("If you were urban, elite, liberal, there are many who have two wives. I don’t wanna take names but for example, we have film stars who are urban elites. We may not be that judgmental towards them. I have spent time with you guys.")

This statement was seen as a veiled reference to legendary personalities in the film industry like Salim Khan and Dharmendra, who have maintained polygamous relationships. Salim Khan, an acclaimed screenwriter, has been in relationships with both Salma Khan and Helen, a dynamic widely acknowledged and accepted in the industry. Similarly, Dharmendra, an iconic actor, has been married to Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini, with both relationships being public and respected.

 
Ranvir Shorey’s comments highlighted the inconsistency in societal judgments. He emphasized that while such relationships are often criticized when it involves ordinary people, the same scrutiny is not applied to celebrated figures in the film industry. Shorey’s remarks aimed to underscore the importance of respecting personal relationships that are built on mutual understanding and consent, regardless of how unconventional they might appear.

Shorey further elaborated on his stance, addressing the criticisms faced by Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik. He remarked, "Film stars bhi hai aap jaise but unko koi judge nahi karta" ("Film stars are like you but no one judges them"), stressing that the judgment should be fair and consistent. His comments resonated with many, prompting a reflection on the deep-seated biases and the need for a more accepting and less judgmental society.

 
The discussion initiated by Shorey is not new but has been a recurring theme in Bollywood. The industry has seen various celebrated figures maintain unconventional relationships that have been accepted by their fans and peers. Shorey's defense of the Maliks brings to light the selective morality that often governs public opinion.

 
The controversy surrounding Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik’s relationship in the Bigg Boss house is a microcosm of a larger societal issue. It reflects how personal choices and relationships are subjected to public scrutiny and judgment. Shorey’s intervention was a reminder that respect for personal relationships should be universal and not dependent on one’s social or professional status.

As the Bigg Boss OTT 3 finale approaches, the housemates continue to navigate their complex relationships under the watchful eyes of the public. Shorey’s remarks have added a layer of introspection, urging viewers and society at large to rethink their attitudes towards relationships that do not conform to conventional norms.
