In the most recent Bigg Boss 16 episode, Vikas Manaktala and Archana Gautam got into a heated disagreement. Being at odds with someone is one thing, but going off the rails in a fit of wrath, acting violently, or hurting someone else is quite another. For the benefit of the uninitiated, Vikas and Archana got into a nasty verbal fight over the use of a gas burner. Vikas and Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary were standing close by when Archana threw the hot water pot that was on the stove during their fight.
In the midst of all, Guunjan Walia, Vikkas' wife, has spoken out in favour of her husband. She said, “Kitchen is common to all contestants. Vikas only removed a pot from one of the burners, which he felt wasn’t being used, to boil water for tea. Was it such a big deal to lose your cool and pick a fight? He was very calm and composed in the beginning. Archana instigated him and threw the pan of boiling water.
She added, “Vikas and Priyanka, who were standing close, could have been hurt. Even then, they didn’t make an issue about it. Had it been Archana, she would have demanded their eviction with immediate effect. She was the one who kept screaming and shouting, while Vikas and Priyanka maintained their dignity.”
She continued, “Vikas was provoked and pushed to do that. He apologized for it, too. However, despite witnessing what transpired in the kitchen, Sumbul (Touqeer Khan) told others that Vikas pushed Archana though it was the other way round. Why are they setting false narratives against him? That wasn’t cool. Is it because he is new in the house and they have difficulty accepting him, as he stands for the right? He still went out and had the courtesy to apologize, while Archana kept egging him on.”
Guunjan refers to him as a lone warrior and has no doubt that he will make it through any difficulties. “Kudos to Vikas for taking up the challenge of entering the house midway while others have already forged friendships and connections. He has been following his heart right from the word go and the first task. I guess that’s why he isn’t liked by some inside the house. He unmasked them immediately after his entry. He is way bigger than these petty issues and is a very strong guy. He is a warrior. I am so proud of him and the way he is on the show.”
