Weeks after her elimination from Bigg Boss OTT 3, Payal Malik has broken her silence about the intense hate she and her family have been receiving. In a vlog shared on Friday, she revealed her decision to divorce Armaan Malik, citing the relentless trolling and negativity directed at her children as the primary reasons. Speaking in Hindi, Payal expressed her frustration, saying, “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. 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.” ALSO READ: Armaan Malik Says, ‘Main Khush Hoon’ As First Wife Payal Malik Gets Evicted From Bigg Boss OTT 3; YouTuber Pacifies His Second Wife Kritika
Payal elaborated on her decision, mentioning her concern for her children’s well-being. “I know Golu won’t stay without Zaid so probably she can keep him and I’ll leave with my three kids. People are not happy with her polygamy and can no longer take the hate. It is pissing me off like anything. 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've never faced so much hate, so much trolling, so many abuses in my life. My decision is confirmed. We can't subject our children to this. Which parents can afford that,” she added.

After her eviction from the reality show, Payal discussed handling online trolling with ANI, explaining that she and her family have dealt with negativity for years. “We have an experience of handling trolling. We have been using YouTube and Instagram for four years. We faced trolling and very harsh comments in the first year, but later on people started recognizing us, so they thought that we were not like that so now trolling does not have that much effect on our lives.”
Payal also shared insights into her experience managing Armaan's second marriage. Reflecting on her journey, she said, “The experience which I had faced in my life has been very bad because if anyone else had been in my place, she would not have accepted it but I accepted it because my circumstances were bad. I left Armaan for 1.25 years but due to some circumstances, we have to accept it, have to live happily together. It was very difficult to face it when I accepted it but after some time, the difficulty changed into love. Kritika and I have become so attached that we love each other more than Armaan.”
Despite her efforts to adapt to her complex marital situation, Payal’s decision to divorce Armaan highlights the immense pressure and negativity that public figures often face, especially when their personal lives become the subject of public scrutiny. Her resolve to protect her children from further harm underscores the challenges of navigating public life while maintaining family harmony.
