Zeeshan Khan removed from 'Bigg Boss OTT' after altercation; fans slam 'unfair decision'

Bigg Boss OTT had started with 13 contestants but is down to 9 in less than 3 weeks. While three contestants were evicted in two eliminations, the latest exit was of Zeeshan Khan, who was ejected for getting into an altercation with his co-contestants. The actor even showed his injury marks on Instagram while fans expressed their displeasure.

The incident took place during the Red Flag task. During the course of the task, Pratik Sehajpal could be seen trying to grab Zeeshan, after which they could be seen pushing each other, with Nishant Bhatt also in the midst. However, Zeeshan could be seen pushing the duo aggressively after a while as other contestants tried to intervene. 

Zeeshan then took to Instagram and posted images of wounds on his chest and wrist. 

Netizens also reacted to Zeeshan Khan's ouster. Many of his fans came out in his support and called it an 'unfair decision'. They also used terms like 'We want Zeeshan back', 'bring back Zeeshan', among others. 

Some also posted videos of Bigg Boss season 14, where Sidharth Shukla, who went on to win the show, and Asim Riaz, the runner-up, were seen pushing each other in a similar manner. Many argued that it was Pratik and Nishant who provoked Zeeshan continuously.

Among those who backed him was Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 contestant Varun Sood. The actor, who is dating Divya Agarwal, who was paired with Zeeshan on Bigg Boss OTT, wrote that he stood with Zeeshan.
