Umar Riaz comes to the defense of Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik amid controversy

Bigg Boss 15 contestant Umar Riaz has recently spoken out in support of Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestants Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik, following a political party's demand for their arrest over a viral 'intimate video.'

On July 22, Umar Riaz expressed his thoughts on his official social media handles regarding the ongoing controversy in Bigg Boss OTT 3. He criticized the show's makers for releasing intimate clips to draw attention due to the lack of engaging content this season. Taking to X, Umar Riaz wrote, “Seeing the news of a leaked video of a married couple in Bigg Boss OTT makes me wonder what the contestants are doing, so much so that BB had to release such content. They are a married couple for God's sake, leave them alone. Even God has permitted them to be intimate, why bother!”

A fake private video moment between Armaan Malik and his second wife, Kritika Malik, recently went viral. The webcam footage from inside the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house, showing the couple engaged in an intimate moment, which was fake and edited. This has led a political party to call for immediate action against Armaan Malik and the makers of the show.

In a recent vlog, Payal Malik addressed the controversy, asserting that the video is fake. She stated, “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 the 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.”

Umar Riaz's support for Armaan and Kritika highlights the ongoing issue of privacy and respect for participants in reality TV shows. His stance sheds light on the importance of not invading the personal lives of contestants for sensationalism. As the controversy continues, the Bigg Boss OTT 3 team and the concerned parties will need to address these allegations and ensure the dignity of the contestants is upheld.
