Singer Amaan Malik explains his confusion with Bigg Boss contestant

He wrote, “Hi everyone, I have been trying to overlook an issue for some time now but it seems to be getting out of hand at this point and I need to address it. A YouTube creator formerly known as Sandeep later changed his name to Armaan Malik and is currently seen on Bigg Boss OTT Season 3. This is causing a lot of confusion as many people are wrongly tagging me and assuming we are the same person.”

Armaan added, “I want to make it very clear: I have NO connection with this person and do not endorse him or his lifestyle in any way. This situation is damaging my reputation and proving misleading to many people who have supported me over the years. While I cannot stop anyone from changing their name and adopting the same as mine, I am asking my own community to help me overcome this. Please stop tagging me in posts that have anything to do with him. Thank you for your understanding and support.”

Earlier, Kushal Tandon, a contestant in the seventh season of the original show “Bigg Boss” starring superstar Salman Khan, had sharply criticised the makers for not taking any action against “BB OTT 3” contestant Malik.

Kushal, who was thrown out of the Big Boss 7 house for getting physically violent, wrote to X, “This is so weird, Bigg Boss OTT is already going to the dogs. But seriously, is a slap allowed? And now you can call someone a sunder if she is married? Ye kaunsa jurm hain boss (what crime is that)?”

The television actor said, “That asshole who slapped should get out, otherwise everyone should slap everyone.” The ‘slapping’ incident took place during the ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode of ‘Bigg Boss OTT’-3, in which Armaan’s first wife Payal Malik, who was recently evicted from the show, made a surprise appearance.

A controversy arose due to Vishal Pandey’s remarks about Armaan Malik’s second wife, Kritika Malik. In an earlier episode, Vishal had expressed his admiration for Kritika and stated, “Kritika bhaabi mujhe bohut acchi lagti hai (I like Kritika a lot).”

During her visit to the show, Payal confronted Vishal about his remarks, saying, “You are talking about a mother and a wife and you have to respect that. What you said about Kritika is wrong.” Host Anil Kapoor also responded to Vishal’s comments.

However, Vishal insisted that his remarks were not meant as an insult. Payal then asked why the social media influencer “whispered his feelings” to another contestant instead of addressing Kritika directly.

After Payal left the house, Armaan confronted Vishal again, which led to a heated exchange of words. Vishal sought validation from another contestant, Lovekesh Kataria, who confirmed Vishal’s earlier remarks, which further escalated tensions and culminated in a physical altercation between Armaan and Vishal.
