YouTuber Armaan Malik's family is once again in the spotlight, but this time it's due to a surprising turn of events regarding a pregnancy announcement. Initial speculation pointed towards Armaan's second wife, Kritika Malik, expecting her second child. Kritika even fueled these rumors by posting photos on Instagram that hinted at her pregnancy. However, the narrative has shifted, with the revelation that it is Armaan's first wife, Payal Malik, who is pregnant with their fourth child.
Payal Malik confirmed the news in a recent vlog, describing the pregnancy as a "miracle" after years of struggling with fertility issues. She has been open about her journey with in-vitro fertilization (IVF), including previous failed attempts. Payal already has three children with Armaan: a son named Chirayu, and twins, Ayan and Tuba. She explained in her vlog that she believed she couldn't have more children after Chirayu was born, due to issues with her fallopian tubes. After four years of Chirayu’s birth, she decided to pursue more children through IVF. While the first round of IVF didn't work, a subsequent attempt led to the birth of her twins. This natural conception after 15 years of challenges feels unexpected.
The news initially caused confusion because of Kritika's earlier Instagram posts, where she was seen holding a pregnancy test kit. This led many to believe she was expecting her second child. Kritika has since clarified that it is Payal who is pregnant, attributing the "radiant glow" everyone noticed to Payal, not herself.
The Malik family is known for sharing their personal life online through vlogs, keeping their followers engaged with their daily updates. Armaan, a fitness vlogger and social media influencer, has garnered a large following on his YouTube channel, "Fitness Family". He expressed his happiness about the family's expansion, stating that Payal has the right to have as many children as she wants. Kritika also shared her excitement for Payal and pledged to support her during this time.
The pregnancy announcement comes amidst some legal troubles for Armaan Malik and his wives. He and his two wives, Payal and Kritika, have been summoned by a Patiala district court in response to allegations of bigamy and hurting religious sentiments. A petition filed by Davinder Rajput alleges that Armaan has violated the Hindu Marriage Act by having multiple marriages, as it permits only one marriage at a time for individuals practicing Hinduism. The petition also accuses Armaan and Payal of hurting religious sentiments, claiming that Payal dressed as the Hindu goddess Kali in a video posted on Instagram, which was deemed insulting to religious beliefs.
In response to the backlash, Armaan and Payal visited the Kali Mata Temple in Patiala to offer prayers and apologize for their actions. Payal also undertook a seven-day religious punishment, including temple cleaning and rituals.
Despite the legal challenges, the family seems to be focusing on the joyous occasion of Payal's pregnancy. The news has been met with mixed reactions from fans, with some questioning the timing, while many others have expressed their congratulations and support. Some fans have also expressed confusion about the timeline of Payal's pregnancies, considering she stated it had been 15 years since her last pregnancy.
