Bigg Boss OTT 3: Vishal Pandey recalls Armaan Malik slapping him, says ‘I felt suffocated’

The recent slap incident involving Armaan Malik and Vishal Pandey inside the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house left many shocked. The altercation began after Payal Malik claimed that Vishal had admitted to liking Kritika Malik, Armaan’s second wife. This claim led to a heated exchange, with Armaan slapping Vishal. Now, Vishal has shared his emotional struggle following the incident.

Vishal Pandey spoke about how the incident affected him. He said that after Payal’s claim, people’s attitudes towards him changed drastically. “Nobody used to sit with me except Lovekesh Kataria, Sana Makbul, and Shivani Kumari. 

Others avoided me and looked at me like I was a monster. It was very difficult. I felt suffocated and was hurt by the comments about my character,” Vishal revealed.He recounted how his co-contestants made negative remarks, such as “because of him, girls have stopped wearing short clothes” and “his intentions are not good.”

Vishal said these comments made him worry about his future and career. “I thought everything was over; my career was shattered. It was haunting, but I managed to get through it,” he added.

Despite his anger, Vishal said he never considered retaliating against Armaan. “I thought about slapping him back many times. My blood was boiling. But I know my values and ethics. I respected the show and its importance. I chose to stay true to myself,” he shared. Vishal expressed that the slap itself was not as painful as the reason behind it, which hurt his character. 

With ongoing emotional trauma, Vishal never thought about quitting the show. “I am not a quitter. I stayed strong, even when I felt broken. My parents' visit during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode helped me a lot,” he said. Vishal concluded by affirming his integrity, “I know my intentions, and my mother knows them too. I could not be wrong.”
