YouTuber Lovekesh Kataria was saved from eviction from the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house on Tuesday’s episode of the Anil Kapoor-hosted reality show after his close friend Vishal Pandey disclosed his identity as the ‘baharwala’ aka Janta Ka Agent.

Lovekesh was saved from eviction after the housemates successfully completed a task posed by Bigg Boss.

Tuesday’s episode began with Bigg Boss summoning Vishal Pandey to the confession room and playing a video clip proving that Vishal was aware Lovekesh was the ‘baharwala’. Bigg Boss then revealed Lovekesh’s identity to the entire house and removed him from his position.

To set an example, he decided to evict Lovekesh from the house. He sought the opinion of the housemates. Five of them — Ranveer Shorey, Chandrika Dixit, Sai Ketan Rao, Kritika Malik and Armaan Malik — expressed their approval by raising their hands.

As a last lifeline, Bigg Boss gave a task to the housemates who voted in favour of saving Lovekesh. A chakki was placed in the garden area and the contestants were required to keep it moving until Bigg Boss asked them to stop. If they successfully complete the task, Lovekesh’s fate would then be left to votes from the audience.

When the task started, Vishal became upset with Chandrika, demanding to know why she voted against saving Lovekesh. Chandrika replied that it was a clear violation of the rules. Vishal retorted that she had not taken a stand against Armaan when he slapped Vishal in clear violation of the rules. Chandrika argued it was a special case, but Vishal didn’t buy her argument.

Vishal also lashed out at Sana Sultan for not standing up for Lovekesh.

At the end of the task, Bigg Boss announced that the housemates had succeeded in their task. Lovekesh’s fate now rested in the hands of the audience. Until the votes from viewers came in, Lovekesh would be tied to a pole in the garden area.

Bigg Boss OTT 3 streams 24X7 on JioCinema with new episodes airing at 9pm daily.
