‘My
primary
reason
to
participate
was
—
and
I
told
my
wives
as
well
—
that
the
three
of
us
would
live
happily
together
on
the
show
and
create
history.’
Anil
Kapoor
with
Armaan
Malik
and
wives
Payal
and
Kritika
on
Bigg
Boss
OTT
3.
With
three
YouTube
channels
boasting
millions
of
subscribers,
Armaan
Malik
has
entertained
audiences
with
his
engaging
content,
unfiltered
vlogs
and
relatable
storytelling.
Now,
in
an
unexpected
twist,
Armaan,
alongside
his
wives
Payal
and
Kritika
Malik,
has
entered
Bigg
Boss
OTT
3.
In
a
conversation
with
Rediff.com
Contributor
Mohnish
Singh,
Armaan
wonders,
“Suppose
Bigg
Boss
makes
me
sit
in
the
centre
and
asks
my
wives
to
hit
me
with
eggs.”
Tell
us
about
yourself.
Things
were
not
better
in
the
past.
I
lost
my
mother
for
want
of
Rs
30,000.
I
reached
Delhi
with
a
meagre
amount
of
Rs
2,000
in
my
pocket
and
worked
tirelessly
to
turn
things
around.
When
the
coronavirus
pandemic
hit
in
2020,
I
did
not
have
enough
money
to
pay
the
next
10
installments
of
a
vehicle
loan
I
had
taken.
It
was
then
that
I
decided
to
do
start
a
YouTube
channel.
Since
then,
there
has
been
no
looking
back.
By
God’s
grace
and
people’s
love,
my
YouTube
channel
is
doing
well.
Is
this
the
first
time
you
have
been
approached
for
the
show?
No,
the
makers
had
approached
us
in
the
past
as
well.
But
things
did
not
fall
into
place
then.
One
of
my
wives
was
pregnant,
so
we
could
not
participate.
But
I
always
kept
telling
my
wives
that
we
would
go
to
Bigg
Boss
one
day,
no
matter
what.
If
not
this
season,
then
maybe
the
next.
What
made
you
decide
to
participate
in
Bigg
Boss
OTT?
See,
first
of
all,
I
do
not
preach
about
keeping
two
wives.
Having
said
that,
the
dark
reality
of
times
we
are
living
in
is
that
almost
90
per
cent
married
people
are
having
extramarital
affairs.
If
the
husband
is
not
happy
with
his
wife,
he
starts
having
an
affair
outside
of
the
marriage.
If
the
husband
is
unable
to
keep
his
wife
happy,
she
starts
having
an
affair.
This
eventually
leads
to
divorce.
See,
all
a
wife
needs
is
respect.
She
does
not
need
your
money.
She
just
wants
time
and
respect.
If
you
fail
to
give
her
that,
divorce
is
imminent.
My
primary
reason
to
participate
was
—
and
I
told
my
wives
as
well
—
that
the
three
of
us
would
live
happily
together
on
the
show
and
create
history.
We
would
make
sure
that
people
remember
us
for
the
longest
time.
What
are
your
strengths
and
weaknesses?
Both
my
strengths
and
weaknesses
are
my
wives.
Have
you
watched
previous
seasons
of
Bigg
Boss?
Which
contestant
do
you
relate
to
the
most
and
why?
Yes,
I
have
seen
some
previous
seasons.
I
related
to
Siddharth
Shuka
the
most
because
I
feel
I
am
like
him
—
calm
and
composed.
You
will
see
me
sitting
in
a
corner
watching
everyone
fighting
unnecessarily.
Just
like
him.
Bigg
Bossoften
involves
controversial
moments.
How
do
you
plan
to
deal
with
negative
publicity
from
the
audience?
I
believe
one
fight
begets
another.
You
cannot
solve
anything
with
fights.
The
most
complicated
things
can
be
solved
through
simple
talk.
I
think
the
audience
should
pay
more
attention
to
who
is
right
in
a
fight.
I
come
with
a
lot
of
life
experience.
I
will
stick
to
what
is
right
till
the
very
end.
No
compromise
on
that.

Are
you
prepared
to
deal
with
the
scrutiny
of
the
cameras
24/7?
Absolutely
ready.
I
am
used
to
the
24/7
scrutiny,
thanks
to
my
wives
(laughs).
Anil
Kapoor
is
taking
over
as
the
host
this
season.
How
do
you
feel
about
this
change,
and
what
do
you
think
he
will
bring
to
the
show?
I
am
excited
and
happy.
I
am
sure
Salman
Khan
would
watch
the
new
season
whenever
his
schedule
permits.
It
will
be
a
proud
moment
if
he
watches
the
show
and
me
in
it.
Meeting
him
in
person
would
have
been
another
experience
altogether.
Anil
Kapoor
is
not
a
lesser
star.
I
have
been
watching
him
on
the
screen
since
I
was
a
kid.
So
it
is
a
dream
that
he
is
hosting
the
season
that
I
am
a
part
of.
What’s
your
biggest
fear
about
being
on
Bigg
Boss
OTT?
I
just
want
to
be
true
to
myself,
so
I
have
no
fear.
My
actions
will
reflect
my
personality.
Having
said
that,
nobody
knows
what
kind
of
tasks
we
have
to
perform
inside
the
house.
Suppose
Bigg
Boss
makes
me
sit
in
the
centre
and
asks
my
wives
to
hit
me
with
eggs.
Is
that
a
fear?
