She asserted that the video was edited and did not align with the actual setting of the Bigg Boss house where she had resided. "I can say that there are no lamps like the ones seen in the viral clip. The blanket is also different." Armaan entered Bigg Boss OTT 3 with both his wives but Malik was evicted early in the show.
Malik announced separation amidst online hate
Recently, Malik announced her decision to separate from Armaan after he exits BB house. "I'm done with the drama and the hate. As long as it was about me, I was okay but now the hate is coming to my kids," she expressed in a statement.
