Bollywood actress Payal Rohatgi, who starred in movies like Dhol, 36 China Town, and Patth, got married to wrestler-turned-actor Sangram Singh on July 9, 2022. Everything was fine until their marital troubles became public in 2024, when the actors lashed out at each other on social media. Just a day before their 3rd wedding anniversary, the actress officially resigned from the director’s post of her husband's charitable trust. While Sangram Singh clarified the speculation, Payal, on her part, took to social media to share screenshots of her conversation with a journalist regarding their separation, where she seemingly mocked model-actress Shefali Jariwala’s death. Trouble in Paradise?

When the journalist said that she was not writing and just wanted to clarify, as she had read it on other websites, the actress replied, "And then it will be called that anti-aging medication did that to you by your own paper." The actress also told the journalist that she feels sorry for her as she is suffering from depression. Politely replying to Payal's messages, the journalist wrote, "It was my job to check with you about speculations, before filing anything, unlike others who have already passed judgements.

The journalist also offered a piece of advice to Payal Rohatgi by asking her not to make fun of mental health and use it as an insult, because it is not right, especially as a public figure. The actress replied, "When you all made fun of my mental health, did I react like this? As a journalist, don't fu*k around with me again. Go file your story.

Unvlocking the journalist some time after blocking her, the actress wrote, "You all have been following me for three years, waiting for me to crumble. You think I was born yesterday? Karma comes for all. However sweet you portray like fraud. Now I hope you will kindly get lost." Wrestler Sangram Singh Breaks Silence on Divorce Rumours With Payal Rohatgi on 14th Wedding Anniversary (View Post).
