Payal Malik doesn't see Kritika in the top five of Bigg Boss OTT 3

In the same conversation, Payal named the contestants she sees in the top five of Bigg Boss OTT 3. Malik feels her husband Armaan, Sana Makbul, Lovekesh Kataria, Ranvir Shorey, and Chandrika Dixit can be the top five contestants of the reality show. That said, Payal revealed she doesn't see Kritika in the top 5 because of her soft nature.

The YouTuber added that Kritika is unable to plot and plan things in the reality show. She believes, "Kritika dimaag se nahi khel rahi hain, vo dil se khel rahi hain."

Meanwhile, Payal's eviction happened on Bigg Boss OTT 3's first Weekend Ka Vaar, hosted by Anil Kapoor. The reality show streams 24 x 7 on JioCinema and the new episodes drop at 9 pm.
