Mumbai — The ongoing friction between Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestants Ranvir Shorey and Sana Makbul has reached new heights. Ranvir Shorey, most known for his role in Tiger 3, recently issued a strong demand for Sana Makbul to “behave,” after she repeatedly labeled him as a male chauvinist in public interviews. Tensions between the two have only escalated since their time on the controversial reality show, leaving fans and viewers deeply divided.
In a recent interview with Indian Express, Shorey openly addressed the accusations made by Makbul, turning the tables by branding her as a “female chauvinist.” He accused her of consistent misbehavior during their time in the Bigg Boss house and insisted on the importance of mutual respect.
“I believe Sana is a female chauvinist. You only get respect when you give it to others. Being a girl is not a license to misbehave and be unapologetic. When she told me something, I gave it back, so now she shouldn’t be crying over me disrespecting her. Initially, we got along very well, I used to lovingly call her Pookie. I felt really bad about commenting on her lips but I didn’t know the dog incident. It started on a good note, but later when our fights began she would twist the topic and that caught on,” Shorey remarked.
In numerous instances throughout the show, the two contestants were embroiled in heated arguments, which often led to the exchange of harsh and offensive words. This has not only added fuel to their personal animosity but has also drawn criticism from viewers and fans who condemned the escalating tensions and disagreements.
Speaking earlier to the same publication, Makbul had opened up about her experiences, suggesting that Shorey didn’t appreciate strong, opinionated women. “Strong women are not appreciated, and he is one of those male chauvinist kind of a person who doesn’t like it if women do better than him. I don’t want to say anything about him. I have buried it all. I don’t hold any grudge against him. But if he does that, it is his way of dealing with things. When I stepped out from the Bigg Boss house, I let bygones be bygones.
. It’s all over for me,” she declared.
Makbul’s comments about not holding any grudges yet pointing out Shorey’s conduct have ignited a public debate about gender dynamics and behavioral standards in competitive environments.
Despite the show wrapping up, the echoes of their confrontations clearly linger. Shorey’s change of stance on Makbul has also intrigued many. Initially, he had criticized Makbul, calling her an undeserving winner of the show’s trophy. Yet, contrary to his initial allegations, he later acknowledged her determination and praised her efforts to win.
This storyline is a stark reminder of the emotional and psychological toll such reality TV shows can impose on their participants. The intensity of being constantly watched and judged, both by peers and the public, can strain relationships and elevate minor disagreements into public controversies.
Shorey’s engagement with the media has been candid, and his words highlight the complexity of respect and reciprocity in male-female interactions. “I believe Sana is a female chauvinist. You only get respect when you give it to others, being a girl is not a license to misbehave and be unapologetic. When she told me something, I gave it back, so now she shouldn’t be crying over me disrespecting her. Initially, we got along very well, I used to lovingly call her Pookie. I felt really bad about commenting on her lips but I didn’t know the dog incident. It started on a good note, but later when our fights began she would twist the topic and that caught on,” he reiterated in another statement.
These reiterations reflect how the dynamics of their relationship evolved negatively over time. Their frequent clashes have made headlines and sparked conversations about what transpires behind the scenes in reality television.
Sana Makbul, for her part, remains firm on her stance about opinionated women not being appreciated enough, especially in competitive and male-dominated environments. Despite the acrimony, she appears keen on moving forward without carrying baggage from her Bigg Boss OTT 3 experience.
The celebrity spat between Ranvir Shorey and Sana Makbul underscores not just their personal discord but also broader societal themes of gender interaction, mutual respect, and behavior expectations in highly scrutinized environments. Whether this public fallout will settle or continue to make waves remains to be seen, but it certainly keeps fans, critics, and observers keenly interested in every layer of this unfolding drama.
