Recently, Payal Malik has announced her decision to divorce her husband Armaan Malik following his participation in Bigg Boss OTT 3. This decision comes amidst growing controversy and public scrutiny surrounding their polygamous marriage.
Armaan Malik, a YouTuber, entered Bigg Boss OTT 3 with his two wives, Kritika Malik and Payal Malik. The unusual marital arrangement has drawn considerable attention and criticism from the public, with many criticizing the trio for promoting polygamy. This backlash has reportedly intensified since Payal’s recent statement expressing her desire to leave the relationship. In a recent vlog, Payal articulated her frustration with the hate and negativity directed at her family, especially towards her children. She described the situation as “shocking and disgusting,” emphasizing that the hate has become unbearable, particularly because it is now affecting her kids. Payal stated, “I am done with the drama and the hate. As long as it was about me, I was okay but now the hate is coming to my kids.” This situation, she said, has led her to decide to part ways with Armaan, leaving him to stay with Kritika while she takes care of their children.
Armaan Malik has publicly reacted to Payal’s decision by stating that he supports her choice. In a press conference held within the Bigg Boss house, Armaan expressed that he respects Payal’s wish to divorce and indicated that they would address the situation in more detail once he exits the show. Despite the turmoil, Armaan asserted that the bond between the three of them remains strong, suggesting that their relationship is resilient enough to withstand external pressures.
The history of Armaan and Payal’s relationship adds another layer to the current situation. The couple initially married in 2011 and have a child named Chirayu Malik. In 2018, Armaan married Kritika Malik, who was Payal’s best friend. This development led to a significant rift in the family, with Payal’s family initially separating her from Armaan. However, after a period of estrangement, Payal reconciled with Armaan and eventually accepted Kritika into their family. They now have four children together.
The recent events have underscored the complexities and challenges of their polygamous setup. Payal’s decision to leave, driven by the negative impact on her children and the public’s reaction, highlights the difficulties faced by families in unconventional relationships. Armaan’s supportive stance and the ongoing commitment to their shared bond illustrate the complexities involved in navigating personal relationships under intense public scrutiny. The situation reflects broader societal challenges in accepting and understanding non-traditional family structures.
