Exclusive - Ranveer Singh Malik reacts to Archana Gautam’s ouster from the house after she physically attacked Shiv Thakare

Bigg Boss 16 contestant Archana Gautam’s close friend Ranveer Singh Malik reacted to her ouster from the show.
He told ETimes TV, “This is ridiculous! I mean Archana is the strongest contestant of Bigg Boss 16 and all the other contestants know it. Audience is loving Archana very much. So that is the reason other contestants ganged up against her. Shiv has provoked Archana to that level and coincidentally that incident happened. It was just a heat of the moment and other contestants supported Shiv not because she hit him but just because they got a chance, that Archana got violent and she will be evicted.”
He further added, “Hats off to Archana. She let go of her ego and apologised to Shiv. She literally begged in front of him. And shame on Shiv and other contestants that they have not supported Archana when she was guilty and saying sorry. Without Archana the show will be totally flat as she is the only entertainment source of Bigg Boss 16.”
Ranveer and Archana have known each other for a long time.
For the unversed, Bigg Boss 16 saw one of the biggest fights of the season between Shiv Thakare and Archana Gautam during which she got physically violent with Shiv Thakare.
Archana made a few derogatory and vulgar comments for the girls. Shiv, who was standing close to Archana, questioned her and asked her to repeat it and she asked him to stay out of it. Shiv in return mocked her indirectly taking the name of the leader of the political party she represents. This irked Archana and she held Shiv by his neck and scratched him with her nails.
