Armaan malik with his two wives

In the latest season of Bigg Boss OTT 3, contestants Kritika Malik, her husband Armaan Malik, and Armaan's first wife, Payal Malik, have brought significant buzz due to the complexity of their relationship. The trio has openly discussed the challenges and tensions in their personal lives, providing a raw and unfiltered view into their family dynamics.

Kritika Malik, in a candid conversation, revealed that the toughest phase in her relationship with Armaan was heavily influenced by external negativity. She expressed how people around her poisoned her mind against Payal, leading to misunderstandings and conflicts. According to Kritika, they were constantly fed stories designed to create a rift between her and Payal. She shared, "People poisoned my mind against Payal saying, 'Tujh par humesha dusri biwi ka thappa rahega' (You will always be marked as the second wife)."

The pressures and societal judgments regarding their unique family setup added to the internal strife. Kritika confessed to feeling overshadowed by Payal and struggling with her identity within the family. She mentioned, "If you marry him, your husband will be taken away by her. She already has a husband, she will always dominate you, and you will always be seen as the second wife." This narrative fueled her insecurities and caused a prolonged period of emotional turmoil.

Payal Malik also opened up about her initial reactions upon learning about Armaan's marriage to Kritika. She admitted that she didn't fully grasp the gravity of the situation initially. Payal reflected, "Initially, I did not realize what had actually happened." This period of confusion and hurt led to a strained relationship between the two women.

During the conversation, Payal and Kritika discussed how they were bitter enemies, to the point where they were swearing at each other over the phone. Payal recounted, "At that time, our relationship was such that I couldn't stand to see her, and she couldn't stand to see me." Their relationship had reached a point where mutual animosity was palpable.

Kritika acknowledged her mistakes and the role of external influences in exacerbating their issues. She said, "I felt I did a very big mistake by breaking a small family." This realization was a turning point for Kritika, who then endeavored to mend the broken ties and foster a better relationship with Payal.

The tension between Payal and Kritika was not only personal but also impacted their daily lives and their relationship with Armaan. Payal added, "We tried our best to break this relationship." The constant friction took a toll on everyone involved, leading to moments where they considered ending the relationship altogether.

Despite the adversities, Kritika and Payal eventually found common ground. They realized that they needed to communicate and understand each other's perspectives. Kritika mentioned, "Chiku ke papa, Payal, and I sat together for two days. Aur sab khul ke baat kari kya hai kya nahi hai. (We openly discussed everything)." This honest communication helped them resolve many misunderstandings and rebuild their relationship.

The journey was not easy, and it took time for trust and love to be restored. Payal shared, "We then sorted everything one by one and slowly our love got stronger and now the bond is very strong." The process of healing involved acknowledging their mistakes, letting go of past grievances, and working towards a harmonious coexistence.

The experience has taught them valuable lessons about resilience, forgiveness, and the importance of clear communication. Kritika concluded by saying, "Now our bond is very strong." Payal echoed this sentiment, noting that their relationship dynamics have improved significantly. She remarked, "Ab aisa scene hai Armaan can fight with us but we don’t fight with each other. (Now it's such that Armaan can argue with us, but we don't argue with each other)."
