Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestant Armaan Malik has been the most talked-about contender on the reality show since he publicly disclosed to being married to both Payal Malik and Kritika Malik. Now, Shiv Sena Secretary and Spokesperson MLA Dr Manisha Kayande has urged on Monday that the reality show Bigg Boss be banned, claiming that a recent episode had filthy content.
Manisha Kayande met with Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar and made the demand, according to a press release. The Shiv Sena MLA, while mentioning about Armaan said, “Bigg Boss 3 is a reality show. The shooting is going on. It’s an absolute vulgarity that is going on and that has been depicted here. The YouTube influencer (Armaan Malik) is also participating in that,” adding, “He has crossed all limits of vulgarity and for the scenes that are being shown. Now, we have requested Mumbai police to take action, and we have given them a letter. This public display of vulgarity in the name of reality shows, how far is it correct. How does it influence young minds?”
“We will also go to the information and broadcasting minister at the centre and we will request them to bring in the law in this current session of the parliament on the OTT platforms. We have told them to arrest the actors and also the CEO of the show,” she added.
The Shiv Sena MLC’s call for the show’s cancellation came as some viewers perceived the footage as an intimate scene, while others claimed that the second part of the viral video clip had been edited.
Meanwhile, Armaan’s first wife, Payal, has also reacted to the video. She said, “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.”
