Shiv Sena leader seeks ban on Bigg Boss OTT 3 over 'obscene' content, after Armaan Malik and wife Kritika's 'intimate' video goes viral

Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik's alleged intimate clip has gone viral

Bigg Boss OTT 3 is in news for all the wrong reasons and the latest being its contestant Armaan Malik who entered the house with his two wives Kritika and Payal.

Now, a Shiv Sena leader on Monday (July 22) asked that the telecast of the reality show Bigg Boss OTT 3 be stopped, claiming that a recent episode of the show had obscene content.

Manisha Kayande, who is also the spokesperson of the ruling Shiv Sena, led by Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde, met Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar and made the demand, a release said.

Kayande said that the episode aired on July 18 showed Armaan Malik in a seemingly intimate moment with his second wife Kritika Malik under the covers in the Bigg Boss bedroom. The couple trampled upon all boundaries of human relations and social norms," she added.

"Even kids watch the show and it impacts them," she said. The show should be stopped and a case be filed under cyber crime laws against the show producers and CEO of the company that airs it, Kayande said.

Big Boss is no longer a family show. Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik crossed all the limits," she said.

The Sena MLCs demand for a ban on Bigg Boss OTT came amidst some viewers interpreting the footage as an intimate moment, while others claiming that the second part of the viral video clip might be edited content spliced from the international version of the show, Big Brother.

Earlier Armaan's first wife Payal Malik, who has been evicted from the show, also came out in her husband's support and said that the clip was fake. In her vlog, she claimed that the video that has now gone viral is an edited one.

"Whoever has shared the video claiming it is Armaan and Kritika’s I would request them with folded hands to stop. The video is edited. I have stayed at Bigg Boss house and I can say that there are no lamps like the ones seen in the viral clip. The blanket is also different. Those who have stayed inside the house will quickly understand that the clip is fake," said Payal.

After coming out the house, Payal had also spoken about her decision to move out of the house once Armaan and Kritika are back from the show. Payal also said that she might leave the house as the trolling was taking a toll on her and it will also affect the kids badly.

"I am done with the drama and the hate. As long as it was about me, I was okay but now the hate is coming to my kids. This is so shocking and disgusting. I have decided to part ways with Armaan for the same reason. He can stay with Kritika while l’Il take care of the kids," she said in her vlog.

Armaan and Payal got married in 2011 and they had a son named Chirayu Malik. Later, Armaan married Payal’s best friend, Kritika in 2018. The trio lives together with their four kids.
