Being at loggerheads is one thing but crossing all limits in a fit of rage and turning physical or causing harm to others is another. That’s exactly what happened during a heated argument between Archana Gautam and Vikkas Manaktala in the latest episode of Bigg Boss 16. For the unversed, Archana and Vikkas got into an ugly verbal spat over the use of a gas burner. Their argument led to Archana throwing the pot of hot water that was kept on the stove with Vikkas and Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary standing in close proximity.
Amid this, Vikkas’s wife Guunjan Walia has come forward in support of her husband. She says, “Kitchen is common to all contestants. Vikkas 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 further added, “Vikkas 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 Vikkas and Priyanka maintained their dignity.”
Guunjan continues, “Vikkas 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 Vikkas 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 calls him a lone warrior and is certain that he will sail through any rough patch. “Kudos to Vikkas 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.”
