YouTuber Armaan Malik’s Wife Payal Sparks Controversy After Temple Punishment—Hospitalization Called ‘Scripted Drama’ by Netizens

Payal Malik, the first wife of popular YouTuber Armaan Malik, has once again found herself at the center of social media controversy. Known for their highly publicized family drama, the Malik family often grabs headlines—and this time, Payal is making news over allegations of disrespecting the Hindu goddess Kali Mata.

Recently, Payal was punished for this alleged disrespect by being made to sweep and mop the temple premises and wash utensils as an act of atonement. However, things took a dramatic turn when, soon after completing these tasks, Payal reportedly fell ill and had to be hospitalized. Videos shared on social media by her husband Armaan Malik show Payal lying in a hospital bed, even visited by a local religious leader.

But instead of sympathy, many users are calling out the entire episode as yet another attention-seeking stunt. Comments have poured in accusing Payal and the Malik family of orchestrating drama for views and engagement. “How can people keep giving her sympathy? It’s always the same drama,” wrote one user, while another commented, “They’ll do anything for views. This is just another scripted act.”

Sarcastic remarks filled the comments section, with users saying things like, “Deduct ₹50 for overacting,” and, “This whole family is full of drama.” A few even posted harsh remarks, offering “emotional condolences” and asking her to “die soon,” reflecting the polarized nature of public opinion.

However, not everyone agreed with the attacks. Some fans defended Payal, saying she did nothing wrong by dressing as goddess Kali and is being targeted simply because she’s a celebrity. Supporters argued that the backlash and harsh punishments are exaggerated simply due to her fame.

The controversy raises questions about the cost of celebrity, public judgment, and the power of social media narratives. Whether real or ‘scripted,’ the Malik family’s every move seems to keep India’s online audience hooked.
