Boxer Neeraj Goyat became the first contestant to be evicted from the Anil Kapoor-hosted reality show Bigg Boss OTT 3 on Wednesday.
The latest episode of the show streaming on JioCinema Premium saw a surprise midweek eviction, sending shockwaves through the Bigg Boss house.
Neeraj was nominated for eviction this week alongside YouTuber Shivani Kumari.
Bigg Boss began the eviction process by summoning all the housemates to the living room. He informed the housemates the audience vote was in but asked them who they would like to evict if they had the power to decide. Nine out of 14 housemates chose Shivani, who was visibly upset and broke down in tears.
However, in another twist, Bigg Boss revealed that the final decision would be based on audience votes, resulting in Neeraj being sent home. Upon hearing that she was saved, Shivani cried inconsolably and expressed her gratitude to the audience.
The drama, however, didn’t end there. Ranvir Shorey’s attempt to lighten the mood by joking and mimicking Shivani backfired as she angrily responded that it was not the appropriate time for such behaviour. Ranvir pointed out that Shivani often mocked others when they were upset, but his comments sparked further conflict.
Sana Makbul came out in defence of Shivani, accusing Ranvir of being insensitive to her vulnerable state, leading to an intense argument during which they name-called each other, adding to the dramatic quotient of the show.
