Payal's Journey With IVF and Pregnancy
Fans React to the News
Kritika's Role in the Confusion
For weeks, conversations on social media have revolved around YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 3 finalist Armaan Malik and his family. Much of the speculation suggested that his second wife, Kritika, was preparing to welcome her second child with him. Kritika herself fueled the chatter when she posted on Instagram, dropping hints that she might be expecting. However, the narrative soon took a surprising turn. It is not Kritika but Payal, Armaan's first wife and Kritika's close friend, who is pregnant. This child will be Armaan and Payal's fourth baby together.The Malik family has built a large following through their frequent vlogs, where they openly discuss personal milestones. Payal, already mother to three children—Chirayu and her twins, Ayan and Tuba—revealed in her latest vlog that she is set to experience the joy of motherhood once more. The update came after weeks of confusion sparked by Kritika's posts. Kritika was recently seen holding a pregnancy kit in her photos, leaving fans convinced she was the one carrying a child. But Payal's revelation made it clear who was truly expecting.In her viral vlog, Payal opened up to Armaan about her struggles and triumphs with fertility treatments. She explained that her past experiences included failed IVF attempts, which had left her emotionally drained. Despite setbacks, she eventually experienced what she described as a miracle, becoming pregnant in a way she had never thought possible. Payal recalled that her son Chirayu was born after years of waiting, and later she decided to pursue more children through IVF. Although her first round of treatment did not work, she shared how a later attempt brought unexpected success, even after more than 15 years of challenges. Her candid account added depth and emotion to the announcement, resonating with many viewers who followed her journey.As expected, the revelation drew a storm of comments online. Supportive fans congratulated Payal, offering her blessings and wishing her a long and healthy life. Some, however, were confused, pointing out inconsistencies in the timeline of her pregnancies and questioning how her story matched up with the children she already has. Others were skeptical altogether, dismissing the vlog as unnecessary drama and accusing the family of staging events for attention. The mixed reactions highlighted how polarizing the Malik family's public life can be.The speculation surrounding Kritika also added layers to the drama. Earlier, she had shared photographs with Payal, captioning them in a way that hinted at happiness arriving at her doorstep. The imagery led many followers to believe she was announcing her own pregnancy. Yet her most recent Instagram reel confirmed the reality: it is Payal who is expecting. Kritika clarified that the radiant glow everyone noticed belonged to Payal, not herself.

Our rooms were adjoining, and in the evenings my mother, Hema, her mother and I would sit together in the large verandahs, exchanging beauty secrets. I reminded her how Amma would put lobaan in her hair for freshness and khushboo, a detail that made her laugh in surprise at how much I remembered,' she added.
