Weeks after her elimination from the reality show Bigg Boss OTT 3, Payal Malik has announced her decision to divorce her husband, Armaan Malik. In a recent vlog, Payal expressed her exhaustion with polygamy and the increasing hate directed at her family.
On Thursday, Payal released a new vlog stating, “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 is so shocking and disgusting.” She continued, “I have decided to part ways with Armaan for the same reason. He can stay with Kritika while I’ll take care of the kids.” Payal emphasised that public disapproval of their marital arrangement has become unbearable.
“Either all three of us get separated, or two of us get separated, or I walk away. This can turn out only like that. They don’t know what’s transpiring outside. I know what’s happening, I have never faced so much hate, trolling, and abuses in my life. My decision is confirmed. We can’t subject our children to this. Which parents can afford that?” she said in Hindi.
Payal, however, noted that she cannot make this decision unilaterally and plans to discuss it with Armaan and Kritika once they leave the Bigg Boss house.
Payal Malik, her husband Armaan Malik, and her best friend Kritika gained social media fame after revealing their polyamorous relationship. Payal and Kritika are both married to Armaan Malik, whose original name is Sandeep.
In an interview with indianexpress.com following her eviction, Payal admitted feeling wronged when Armaan married her best friend.
“Yes, I have been wronged by Armaanji, I left my house for him. I was dependent on him for eight years, I was living with him, he was my everything. And then all of a sudden, someone else came into his life, so yes, injustice has been done to me. But I have said this before also, today and in the future, I am his first priority. Kritika comes after me, and she knows it, so do our family and subscribers.”
Armaan and Kritika remain in the Bigg Boss house. Payal has three children with Armaan, while Kritika has one.
