MUMBAI: In a recent turn of events on Bigg Boss OTT 3, Payal Mallik has garnered significant sympathy from viewers. Payal, who was initially married to Armaan Mallik, faced a tumultuous journey when Armaan married her best friend, Kritika Mallik, while still being married to her. The trio now lives together and has children, but the complex dynamics have left many questioning Armaan's actions.

Amidst the controversy, actress and influencer Kriti Verma has publicly expressed her support for Payal. Kriti, known for her stint on Bigg Boss 12, her music videos, and her international event hosting, has always been vocal about standing up for what is right. In a heartfelt statement, Kriti said, "Payal lost her husband and best friend the day they got married. Her sadness could be seen when she said she had no family support and was left with no option but to accept her fate as it came. I can't even imagine what she must have gone through- to turn something that could have been toxicity for a lifetime and turn it into a family situation- it takes a lot. Her world would never be the same as it was before Armaan married her best friend. It's something she has to live with for her entire life".

Kriti's words resonate with many fans and audience alike. She added, "Also, whoever is saying polygamy is 'chill' are the same people who would probably end up having mental health issues if their partners went after someone else. Marriage is a sacred union between two people, and that's how it should be."

The reality of Payal's situation has sparked a broader conversation about the sanctity of marriage and the challenges of unconventional relationships. Kriti's stance highlights her commitment to advocating for fairness and empathy in complex personal matters.
