Payal Malik’s Controversial Exit from Bigg Boss OTT 3
Payal Malik, who entered Bigg Boss OTT 3 alongside her husband Armaan Malik and his second wife Kritika Malik, faced eviction on Sunday night due to insufficient votes from the audience. The announcement of her eviction, shared on JioCinema’s Instagram page, triggered a wave of disappointment and criticism from fans. Many expressed their dissatisfaction on social media platforms, alleging unfair treatment and bias towards other contestants like Deepak, Munisha, Naezy, and Sana Sultan.
Fans took to Instagram to voice their discontent, with comments reflecting sentiments such as “unfair eviction” and “Payal didn’t deserve this.” The outcry intensified with accusations that the show’s decisions were not reflective of audience votes but rather influenced by internal biases. Some fans even called for a boycott of Bigg Boss OTT 3, citing perceived favoritism and unjust eliminations.
