Mumbai: In a mid-week turn of events that left fans and viewers completely stunned, ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ witnessed a double eviction that will be remembered for a long time. This twist saw two strong contenders, Armaan Malik and Lovekesh Kataria, exiting just ahead of the much-anticipated finale.
Lovekesh Kataria, immediately after learning of his unexpected exit, took to Instagram Live to express his heartfelt thanks to his fans for their unwavering support throughout his journey on the show. “I’ve never experienced so much love in my life as I am now. When I was getting evicted, I felt overwhelmed and broken. I could see the trophy in front of me, but I couldn’t touch it. When my name was announced, I teared up but looked up to control myself, swallowing my tears. I thought that I would only cry when I spoke to someone from my family,” Lovekesh shared emotionally with his followers.
During the revealing episode, Bigg Boss disclosed that the ‘outsider’ theme of this season had been orchestrated as part of a social experiment.

What shocked everyone even more was the sudden eviction of Armaan Malik, despite him having the fewest votes for elimination.
The emotional wave didn’t just affect the viewers but the housemates as well. Ranvir Shorey, who had developed close friendships with both Armaan and Lovekesh, was visibly distressed by this unexpected turn.
