Bigg Boss 16: Archana Gautam’s pageant titles, SM followers are all fake or ‘purchased’, reveals Tv actor Imran Nazir Khan

MUMBAI: In a shocking bit of information, popular Tv actor and social media influencer Imran Nazir Khan today alleged that Bigg Boss 16 participant Archana Gautam did not win the Ms Bikini India or Ms Bikini Universe titles – as claimed by her, but rather it was a “paid” title.

“The copyright, Trademark and IPR for the title of Ms Bikini India is held by a Mumbai-based company. Which company organised the Ms Bikini India pageant that Archana Gautam claims to have won,” Imran demanded to know?

“Even the other title Ms Cosmos or whatever was paid for,” Imran revealed, adding that a business associate was “funding” Archana for unknown reasons.

He also alleged that all her social media followers, or at least 90 per cent of them are from Turkey, Bangladesh, Iran and other nations and are fake or software bots or ‘php scripts’.

Speaking to this reporter, Imran said, “Archana has over 9 lakh followers on Instagram but gets only 1200 to 1500 likes on her posts. This itself indicates that about half of the 9 lakh followers are fake. I wonder why Bigg Boss and Colors selected such a character with fake followers and fake titles,” he said.

These pageant titles and SM followers were paid for, but I do not know why, Imran alleged.

“Archana Gautam purchased her pageant titles. She purchased all her social media followers on Instagram and other SM platforms. Today everyone knows that fake followers can be bought for a small fee. When she contested the elections, in spite of a huge campaign by Congress leaders including Priyanka Gandhi, she could get only 1500-odd votes, which means even the Congress karyakartas in the constituency did not vote for her. I do not understand how such fake contestants are on the show,” Imram quipped.
