Television actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee recently responded to comments made by Payal Malik about her interfaith marriage to Shanwaz Shaikh. Payal Malik, who was evicted from Bigg Boss OTT 3, had defended her marriage to YouTuber Armaan Malik while criticizing Devoleena. Payal’s remarks followed Devoleena’s earlier criticism of Armaan Malik and his two wives, Payal and Kritika, for promoting polygamy on reality TV.
In an Instagram story, Devoleena expressed her trust in her husband’s loyalty and clarified her stance against polygamy. She stated, “A person needs a higher level of knowledge to compare interfaith marriage with polygamy, which I am sure intelligent people are quite aware of.” She emphasized that standing against polygamy is not only her right but also every Indian’s right, highlighting that it is an illegal act that should not be showcased proudly on national television.
Devoleena’s Strong Response to Payal’s Comments
Devoleena did not hold back in her response to Payal Malik’s comments. She pointed out the significant difference between her interfaith marriage and polygamy, making it clear that her marriage was based on mutual understanding and respect. “Even if my husband is a Muslim, he is too loyal and is not interested in polygamy and we took 4 years to understand & then got married. Not in merely 7 days,” Devoleena wrote. She further added that a woman’s self-respect should never be compromised.
Devoleena also addressed the issue of societal impact, stating, “Just don’t make a mockery of the lives of those poor women who suffer every day and night because of this nonsense and die a little each day.” She concluded her message by expressing pity for Payal Malik and criticized the way their marriage was portrayed as YouTube content.
Devoleena’s response has sparked a conversation about the differences between interfaith marriages and polygamy, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding and respect for individual choices. Her strong stance against polygamy and her defense of her marriage reflect her commitment to personal values and societal norms. As the debate continues, Devoleena’s words resonate with many who advocate for women’s rights and the importance of mutual respect in relationships.
