IIE DIGITAL DESK : Speculation has erupted over the marital status of actress Payal Rohatgi and wrestler-turned-actor Sangram Singh, who tied the knot in August 2022 after more than a decade of relationship. Headlines began to emerge following Payal’s unexpected resignation from the board of Sangram Singh Charitable Foundation, which she announced on July 8 citing “personal reasons.” The post, accompanied by the cryptic note, “Sometimes peace looks like distance,” fueled widespread conjecture that the couple might be heading for a split .

Payal and Sangram, whose wedding in Agra was followed by receptions in Delhi and beyond, have often been in the public eye since their appearance on reality shows like Survivor India. Her recent board resignation—announced with a formal letter delivered on Instagram—led many fans to deduce that their three-year marriage has hit rocky ground. Social media users quickly picked up on the tone of her message, interpreting it as indicative of marital strain .

Payal later posted glimpses of her husband engaging in domestic life—watering plants, performing everyday routines—which added complexity to the narrative and left followers unclear about the true nature of their situation.

Amid the swirling rumors, Sangram Singh issued a direct clarification: he firmly rejected all divorce speculation and asked the media and public to stop jumping to conclusions. He emphasized that Payal’s decision to step away from the foundation was a professional choice and not a reflection of marital discord. Sangram’s message reassured fans that their relationship remains solid, urging respect for their privacy and personal decisions.

This sequence of events highlights the intense scrutiny celebrity couples often face: every career move and social media update is prone to interpretation, sometimes leading to unfounded rumors. Payal and Sangram—who spent eleven years together prior to marriage—now confront a narrative shaped by public conjecture rather than personal insight .

Neither Payal nor Sangram has provided further commentary. For now, Sangram’s denial is the only official statement, and unless more definitive information is shared by the couple, the truth of their relationship remains their own to protect.
