Exclusive: BB OTT 3’s Lavkesh Katariya reacts to being called Elvish Yadav’s ‘shadow’
Former ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ contestant Lavkesh Katariya reacted to being called Elvish Yadav’s ‘shadow’. He also spoke to IndiaToday.in about his journey in the ‘Bigg Boss’ house.
Influencer-actor Lovkesh Kataria was often called the ‘manager and shadow’ of former ‘Bigg Boss’ winner Elvish Yadav. It was even said that he is on the show only because of Elvish’s popularity and Elvish’s fans are also voting for him. In an exclusive conversation with IndiaToday.in, Lovkesh has given his reaction to these allegations.
Talking about his bond with Elvish, Lovekesh said, “All these things don’t really matter in our friendship. Our brotherhood is as strong as ever. All this is noise and we will never let it affect us.”
He also shared that Elvish had asked him to join him in London for a vacation, but he wanted to spend some time with his family first. The ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ contestant also shared that his eviction a day before the finale hurt him, but he was happy to have overcome this journey. He also said that he managed to come out of his ‘badtameez’ (rude) image through the reality show.
He said, “I am still trying to feel everyone’s love. It is very emotional to receive love from people. People have also realised that even though I am sarcastic, I am a lovely friend. I am also a good listener and storyteller. For the first time, they have seen the real Lovekesh and accepted and liked him. This is another kind of victory for me.”
Lovkesh joked that he wants to pursue a career in acting but revealed that he will interact with his fans through his vlogs and social media. He also revealed that he is excited to make friends with Sana Maqbool, Vishal Pandey and Shivani Kumari outside the house.
For those who don’t know, he was also involved in the Armaan Malik-Vishal Pandey controversy. Though he initially blamed Vishal for making derogatory comments about Kritika Malik, he later defended Vishal. When asked what was the reason for his change of heart, he replied, “When we sat down and talked in detail about what actually happened, I realised it was wrong. I think sometimes one needs time to see things from a different perspective.”
As far as ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ is concerned, the show ended on August 2. Sana Maqbool took home the winner’s trophy.
