One week before Lovekesh's exit, Vishal Pandey and Shivani Kumari were also evicted. In the Bigg Boss house, Lovekesh and Vishal shared a strong bond, often seen together discussing various topics, showcasing their close friendship. However, when Armaan Malik slapped Vishal, Lovekesh’s lack of defense for his friend led many to question the authenticity of their friendship. Despite the accusations of their friendship being 'fake,' neither Vishal nor Lovekesh responded to the allegations. After his eviction, Lovekesh posted a series of photos on Instagram with Vishal, indicating their continued camaraderie. In the photos, Vishal sported a grey t-shirt and black joggers, while Lovekesh donned a blue hoodie with jeans. Lovekesh captioned the post with "Dil To Jeet Ke Aaye," expressing his positive outlook despite his eviction.
Armaan Malik, another prominent contestant, was reportedly one of the highest-paid participants on the show. According to Siaset, Armaan earned Rs. 2 lakh per episode, amounting to Rs. 14 lakh per week. Over the course of his time on the show, Armaan, a wealthy YouTuber, accumulated around Rs. 50 lakh. On the other hand, Vishal Pandey’s earnings were reported by FilmiBeat to be Rs. 2 lakh per week, resulting in a total of Rs. 10 lakh for his five-week stint on Bigg Boss OTT 3.
The financial aspects of these contestants' participation highlight the lucrative nature of reality TV, where even those who do not make it to the final can earn substantial amounts. As the grand finale draws near, the remaining contestants continue to compete fiercely, each hoping to claim the ultimate prize and the title of Bigg Boss OTT 3 champion. The show has not only provided entertainment but also stirred discussions about friendship, loyalty, and the impact of fame and money in the world of reality television.
