Overview
- A clip from Armaan Malik’s family vlog posted June 9 showed him comparing his first wife, Payal, with his second wife, Kritika and urging Payal to stop wearing “lower t-shirts,” saying husbands may stop loving their wives and “in 2 months” might divorce them.
- Payal responded on camera by defending her choice of clothes, saying she was caring for their baby and noting that her T‑shirt cost Rs 5,000 while rejecting the idea that she must wear night suits every morning.
- The remark and the video quickly went viral, drawing widespread criticism on social media for promoting controlling views about women’s appearance and parenting duties.
- As of the latest reports there has been no public apology from Armaan, no announced separation between the couple, and no legal action reported in relation to the exchange.
- The episode revives scrutiny of the family’s public profile after Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 and highlights how monetized family vlogs can amplify private conflicts and fuel wider debates about gender norms in India.
