Armaan Malik's 1st Wife Payal Calls Out His 'Double Standards': 'I Could Not Stand His 2nd Marriage'

Armaan Malik’s first wife, Payal has called out his double standards. In a recent interview, Payal was asked about her husband’s statement that even though she accepted his second marriage, he could never see her with another man. Talking about the same, Payal has now said that even she could not tolerate when Armaan decided to marry Kritika.

“You can call it double standards. But I feel no man can see his wife having two husbands and that’s what Armaan expressed. I also couldn’t stand his second marriage and that’s the reason I had left the house with my son and stayed away from him. When I felt I couldn’t stay away from him, couldn’t handle the situation alone and couldn’t let Chiku stay away from his father that’s when I accepted the relationship,” Payal told ETimes.

This comes days after Sana Makbul confronted Armaan Malik in Bigg Boss OTT 3 regarding his two wives. The actress questioned the YouTuber if he would be okay if Payal also decided to marry again. However, this irked Armaan who replied to her by saying, “Payal ne accept kar liya, main nahi karta (Payal accepted it, I would not have done it).”

Armaan Malik married Payal in 2011 and they welcomed a son named Chirayu Malik. Six years later, in 2018, Armaan married Payal’s best friend, Kritika, without legally ending his first marriage. On December 4, 2022, Armaan took the internet by storm as he announced the pregnancies of both Kritika and Payal. Armaan is now a father to four children: Chirayu, Tuba, Ayan, and Zaid.

The YouTuber has been facing backlash ever since he entered the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house. He has been accused of promoting polygamy by many. Recently, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Payal also called Armaan’s marriage with Kritika “unfair”. She admitted that when the YouTuber married her best friend, she was left heartbroken. However, Payal also stated that she has forgotten everything now.

“Dhoka nahi par woh fair bhi nahi tha. Mere saath galat toh kiya tha uss time. Abhi main unn cheezo ko bhul chuki hu. Armaan mujhse bahut zyada pyaar karte hai, Kritika bhi. (I won’t call it betrayal but yes, it was wrong. I have forgotten all that now. Both Armaan and Kritika love me a lot),” Payal told us.
