Mumbai, July 6 (IANS) Rapper Naezy and Lovekesh Kataria engaged in a serious altercation in the ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ house, which nearly escalated into a fistfight.

During the heated exchange, housemates like Sana Makbul intervened promptly, diffusing the tension and calming both individuals down. Subsequently, Naezy and Lovekesh avoided each other for the remainder of the day.

Later in the evening, during a conversation with Ranvir Shorey, Naezy shared the actual reason behind the fight.

“Vishal complained that he wouldn’t do the work twice. I, as an elder brother figure, approached Vishal and told him not to run from his responsibilities,” Naezy explained to Ranvir.

Naezy said that he told Vishal not to be childish.

“I said, ‘You have the strength to do it, so don’t act childish.’ I said this to him, but someone else got involved. I got angry and said some harsh words. That’s not who I am, and I don’t want to show that side of me,” he said.

Naezy added: “I was talking to someone else, and another person intervened. They are both playing as one candidate. Anger should be shown only when necessary.”

This week, eight contestants face nominations, including Armaan Malik, Vishal Panday, Sana Makbul, Sana Sultan, Sai Ketan Rao, Deepak Chaurasia, Munisha Khatwani, and Ranvir Shorey.

Poulomi Das exited the house earlier in the week.

In the upcoming ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ Weekend Ka Vaar episode, contestant Payal Malik will make an appearance on the show. Additionally, stars Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk will promote their upcoming film ‘Bad Newz’ and interact with the contestants.

Mumbai, July 6 (IANS) The upcoming dance reality show ‘India’s Best Dancer 4’ will feature an engaging banter between hosts Jay Bhanushali and Aniket Chauhan with the studio audience, who identified three people from the audience and invited them to dance in front of the judges.

One standout performer was Dibyajyoti Naik from Cuttack, Odisha, who delivered a dance routine blending ‘Popping with Bollywood’ to the song ‘Aaye Aajaye Aa Hi Jaiye’ from the movie ‘Lajja’, leaving the judges bewildered.

Judge and choreographer Geeta Kapur praised his performance, saying, “I honestly don’t know how to whistle, so I urge those who know how to whistle to please do so for Dibyajyoti. Your journey is indescribable; you just came in as an audience member, and now you are performing for us on the stage of the show.”

“Few people know that you are a well-known choreographer in the Odia film industry, and I wonder why you never mentioned it. You are so unique. We don’t know anything about you, but you are so well-versed when it comes to the technicalities of dance. There is creativity in your choreography, which is unique, and your interpretation of the song is also very different. It’s fun, entertaining, and new,” added Geeta.

During his interaction with the judges, Dibyajyoti expressed gratitude to Jay for spotting him.

He also shared insights about his life at home, where he is the eldest son, with his father in the police force and his mother a housewife.

“My father wants me to join the police force, but my passion is to dance, and I was adamant that I want to take up dancing. So here I am, all thanks to the platform of ‘India’s Best Dancer 4’,” added Dibyajyoti.

Alongside Geeta Kapur, the show features judges Karisma Kapoor and Terence Lewis.
