H

owever, their stint on the show also drew heavy criticism, with many accusing them of promoting polygamy. After her eviction, Payal even expressed her decision to part ways with Armaan. In one of her vlogs, she said, “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.”Later, Payal changed her mind and revealed in another vlog that she would not divorce Armaan. She shared, “I am back with some positivity. Things will be fine soon. Your love and support will be with us. After a point, negativity will also stop. When people will see our happy family, things will be fine. I am sure about it. Things weren’t good in the past too but everything got better. This time also, things will be fine. I know you people won’t stop loving us.

I am able to gather this courage only because of your support.”
