Armaan Malik shares first glimpse of newborn Rudra Malik, his 5th child

On Tuesday, Armaan Malik shared on Instagram that his first wife, Payal Malik, has given birth to their fourth child. Armaan Malik and his second wife, Kritika Malik, took to their vlog and shared the happy news with their fans. In the Instagram reels and photos, Kritika and Armaan posed with the newborn, and Payal Malik is also seen beside him, lying on the hospital bed.

While sharing the post on Instagram, Armaan Malik mentioned in his caption that his wife Payal and their newborn are both doing well. He wrote, “Jaccha Baccha Sab Theek Hai..” ( Both are doing fine).

On Wednesday, Armaan and Payal shared the first glimpse of their baby boy. In the carousel post, Armaan and Payal revealed the name of their son. They showed the baby’s tiny feet, toes and hands.

The couple has named their baby boy Rudra Malik.

Earlier last week, Payal and Armaan had sought advice from Panditji and asked for a shubh muhurat to welcome their child. As per Panditji, it was April 1, 2026. However, the doctor had informed them that it could be anytime in the coming week, and on Tuesday, they welcomed their baby boy.

Payal, who was already a mother of three children named Chirayu and twins Ayan and Tuba, shared a vlog on their YouTube channel last year in August where she announced her pregnancy.

In her vlog, Payal spoke about her experience with fertility treatments with husband Armaan. She opened up about the challenges she faced with multiple unsuccessful IVF procedures, which also took a heavy emotional toll on her. Payal faced many difficulties with her pregnancy and called her current one a miracle, as she didn’t expect to become pregnant again. Payal further revealed how her son, Chirayu, was born after years of waiting.

The couple also revealed that Kritika also wants three kids to balance, and in total, they will have 8 or maybe 9 kids.

Netizens had mixed reactions to Armaan and Payal welcoming another child despite having four kids. Many congratulated them, while some trolled them, saying, “Are they planning a cricket team?”

Many even advised that if they are so rich, they can fund an orphanage.

About Payal, Armaan, and Kritika’s marriage

Armaan Malik tied the knot with Payal in 2011, and the couple later became parents to a son, Chirayu Malik. They also have twins, Tuba and Ayan. In 2018, six years later, Armaan married Kritika, who is Payal’s best friend, without legally dissolving his first marriage. Armaan and Kritika share a son named Zaid.

During their participation in Bigg Boss OTT 3, Armaan, Payal, and Kritika were under fire and grabbed headlines. The trio faced severe criticism for their participation and were also accused of promoting polygamy. There were multiple reports that claimed that Payal and Armaan would divorce, but nothing of that sort happened.

And now, after Payal welcomed a baby boy, Kritika too will soon announce her pregnancy.
