Speaking to India Today, the official spokesperson of JioCinema defended Bigg Boss OTT 3 by claiming that the intimate video of Armaan and Kritika Malik going viral is fake. The spokesperson stated that JioCinema adheres to strict programming standards and guidelines to ensure the quality and appropriateness of any content that streams on our platform. "'Bigg Boss OTT', which streams on JioCinema, does not have any such content. The video clip in circulation is doctored to include obscenity and is fake," the official statement read.

"We are committed to protecting the integrity of JioCinema and the trust our viewers place in us. The creation and circulation of this fake clip is a matter of very serious concern," the statement added. It was further stated their teams are working towards identifying the origins of this clip and will initiate action against those responsible for creating and distributing such defamatory content against 'Bigg Boss OTT' and JioCinema.

Reactions to Armaan and Kritika’s video

The makers reacted to the controversy after the video gained national attention and the show was trolled for allowing such explicit content to be aired online.

Shiv Sena MLA Manisha Kayande met the Mumbai police commissioner on Monday and demanded a ban on the reality show saying, "Bigg Boss [OTT] 3' is a reality show. The shooting is going on. It's an absolute vulgarity that is going on and that has been depicted here."

YouTuber Armaan Malik entered the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house with his two wives Payal and Kritika. They became a subject of trolling with netizens claiming that the couple promotes polygamy. Armaan’s first wife Payal then declared that she would be seeking divorce from him after he comes out of the show. While Armaan and Kritika are still a part of the show, Payal was evicted from the house recently.
