YouTuber Armaan Malik's first wife, Payal pregnant with fourth child after 15 years
Confirmation Through Vlogs 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 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 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 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 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.

Hegemony by the water's edge
The prose is decidedly unsentimental. Yet, typical of this writer, lyrical; the reader absorbs the family saga silently, moved beyond words. The dammed-up sentiment breaks through once in a while, in the telling of the life and times of Ammu, the strong woman who holds home and family together. She plays the market in Hong Kong, and after the same markets crash, picks herself and the pieces up and moves on. Ammu, who becomes somewhat inured to managing everything by herself, grows a stoic exterior, learns to cope when her journalist husband has them moving cities, (Hong Kong, NYC, Bombay, Bangalore) countries and jobs, when he goes to jail (thus acquiring in the words of the narrator notoriety, fame and unemployability, all at once), and when he eventually retreats into silence. She knows what it takes time for the other members of her family to realise: that when an Elsewherean fetches up in a new place, there's no sense of belonging or welcome. George is looked at through a lens devoid of sentiment, described as a man with a grand idea of himself. The legendary journalist, known to readers across India and Southeast Asia for decades now, is a keen observer of people, places and practices. He is prone to quoting from the Hindu scriptures (he has an interesting take on travel in the Ramay ana), and at one point, his brother-in-law wonders if George is also a communist…which would make him a Hindu Christian Communist! George turns that old saying 'water finds its level' on its head; his take is, 'a river cannot rise above its source.' The story Jeet Thayil tells is an engaging one, despite the laconic tone of its telling. The Hong Kong chapter, where George sets up Asiaweek, is interesting; the Vietnam one, where the author goes tracking some personal history, is even more interesting. The Germany account, wherein the author tells Germans about their own George Grosz and Otto Dix, and eventually gets a black eye, is rather esoteric, while the China chapter, where the author gets a lesson on slavery Indian style, is both frank and funny. In Paris, the author searches for and finds Baudelaire's tomb as a sort of tribute to his uncle, who was obsessed with the poet. In Bangalore, we hear the gardener Govindappa's story of his travels during the pandemic. And in the end, everything loops back to the Muvattupuzha River, the river of three rivers.
