‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’: Armaan Malik claims he is a Hindu, asks fans not not ‘assume’ religious identity

Armaan Malik recently clarified that he is Hindu, not Muslim, during a press conference episode of the reality web show Bigg Boss OTT 3. When asked to describe his relationship with his two wives, Armaan quickly addressed the reporter's question, explaining that despite assumptions based on his name, he is not Muslim.

Armaan Malik, along with his wives Payal Malik and Kritika Malik, has been a hot topic since entering the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house, facing heavy criticism for promoting polygamy. Armaan was evicted two days before the grand finale. The remaining top five contestants are Ranvir Shorey, Sana Makbul, Sai Ketan Rao, Naezy, and Kritika Malik. The Grand Finale is scheduled for today, August 2.

Payal Malik, Armaan’s first wife, was the first among them to be evicted. She made multiple appearances after her elimination, revealing shocking details that sparked numerous conflicts in the Bigg Boss house. Armaan married Payal in 2011, and they have a son, Chirayu Malik. Seven years later, in 2018, Armaan married Payal’s best friend, Kritika. In 2022, Armaan announced that both Kritika and Payal were pregnant. He is now a father of four children: Chirayu, Tuba, Ayan, and Zaid.


Armaan clarified, "I am Hindu, and you might assume otherwise because of my name." He also revealed that his birth name is Sandeep Malik, and he adopted the name Armaan Malik as his stage name 14 years ago.

During the same interaction, Armaan and Kritika faced tough questions such as, "What should we call your relationship?" and "How could you betray your best friend?" The situation grew tense when an angry Armaan rudely replied to a journalist, "I have kept both of them," to which the journalist corrected him, "They are your wives."
