The doctored clip

On the other hand, Anil Kapoor hosted BB OTT season 3, which has found itself in a bit of hot waters. A doctored clip of contestants Armaan and Kritika Malik from inside the house has made its way to the internet. The fake clip is being widely circulated with a Shiv Sena member lashing out at the channel for promoting obscenity and vulgarity.

Jio Cinema has also reacted to the statement strongly and has claimed that the clip is doctored. Not just this, the channel is trying to identify the origin of the clip with the help of cyber police to take legal action.
