After six years of marital bliss, Armaan fell in love with his wife, Payal’s best friend, Kritika. In an interview, Armaan revealed that he confessed about his relationship with Kritika to Payal. When Armaan got married to Kritika, his relationship with Payal deteriorated, and the two separated. However, with time, the two reconciled, and now the three of them live together along with their kids.
Armaan’s first wife, Payal, became pregnant for the first time in 2011. Unfortunately, the pregnancy could not reach its full term, and she suffered a miscarriage at about two and a half months. While this was quite tragic, it did not mean the end of suffering for Payal. Due to negligence by the doctor, one of her fallopian tubes became carcinogenic.
After that, the affected fallopian tube had to be removed to cure the cancer threat. Nevertheless, she became a mother for the first time to her son, Chirayu, in 2016. In 2023, Payal delivered twins via IVF and the couple named them Ayan and Tuba.
Armaan’s second wife, Kritika, also faced a fair share of problems in conceiving her child. After getting married to Armaan in 2018, she got pregnant for the first time soon after. However, she could not carry her pregnancy to its full term, and she miscarried in the fourth month. She again conceived a child soon after and also suffered an unfortunate miscarriage in 2021.

Armaan Malik’s dedicated team consists of six editors, two drivers, four PSUs, and nine maids. For Armaan, his team is his extended family, and he celebrates every big occasion of his life with them.
The power of social media can be felt through the life of Armaan Malik. A man, who did not have a single penny in his pocket started his vlogging journey with dreams in his eyes. With his interesting content, Armaan and his family earned a lot of popularity and money. During an interaction with Siddharth Kannan, when Armaan was asked about his net worth, the YouTuber casually stated that he has Rs. 100-200 crores of net worth, which he earned through YouTube in just 2.5 years.
In the same interview, Armaan also revealed that during COVID-19, he had Rs. 35,000. At that time, he was getting money through TikTok. While he used to get Rs. 2 lakhs per month via TikTok, he thought of widening his horizons and entered YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
Destiny plays a vital role in a person’s life, and Armaan Malik is the best example of this. From doing odd jobs to being one of the most successful YouTubers, Armaan has seen it all.
