New day, same old controversy: popular power couple, actor Payal Rohatgi and her wrestler husband, Sangram Singh, have been making headlines amid rumors of trouble in their marriage. Two months ago, it was widely reported that the truly, madly, deeply in love couple would soon be heading for divorce. But Payal and Sangram quashed the rumours and took to social media to confirm that all is well in their marital paradise.
And now once again, rumours are rife that Payal's husband, Sangram, is allegedly dating actress Nikita Rawal. It has been widely reported that Sangram has been having an affair with Nikita for the past six months. However, Sangram has denied the rumours and expressed disappointment over the way unverified news spreads.
Sangram Singh's reaction to his dating rumours with actor Nikita Rawal
Speaking to a news portal, Sangram clarified that his interactions with Nikita were purely professional. He said, "Some time back, I was invited to her show, which had six episodes. I went there only once as a judge. She also made a reel. We have met just 3–4 times along with our teams in connection with her other show. She addresses me as 'Sir,' and I respectfully call her 'Ji.' Beyond that, I don't know her much."
He added, "There were even false reports about my divorce recently, which made me sad. It feels like I am repeatedly made a soft target. I would only request that such news not be published without my confirmation. Please look at my work. Very soon, I will also be seen in a big film. My only aim is to contribute positively to the country. And I categorically deny any rumours of an affair with any actress."
Amid rumours of Sangram dating Nikita Rawal, Payal Rohatgi took to social media and shared a cryptic post. On Wednesday, Payal shared a photo with Sangram from their wedding reception and wrote, "Betrayal always comes dressed as loyalty until the mask falls."
In another post, also from their wedding reception, Payal penned another cryptic note, which read, 'Asked a rich man how he did it & he said, 'I stopped trying to help everyone.'
