Payal Malik Kali Mata Video Controversy: Former Bigg Boss contestant and social media influencer Payal Malik issued public apology on Tuesday folowing the backlash for allegedly misrepresenting Goddess Mahakali in a now-deleted video. Malik, accompanied by her family, paid a visit to a sacred place, where she offered prayers and expressed deep regret for her actions. She sought forgiveness from both the public and the religious community, taking responsibility for the incident and demonstrating a commitment to making amends.

Speaking to media at a temple, Payal said, "Meri bacchi Kali Maa ki badi bhakt hai, isliye maine socha uske liye woh look recreate karu. Shayad mujhse badi galti ho gayi. Main sabhi se haath jod kar maafi maangti hoon. Jo maine kiya, koi aur woh galti na dohraye. (My daughter has immense faith in Goddess Kali, and I only wanted to create something special for her. It was never meant to hurt anyone’s sentiments. I understand now that it was inappropriate, and I truly apologise.)"

She further added, "Maine comments padhe aur samjha ki maine galti ki, isliye video turant delete kar diya. Lekin dusre pages ne us video ko save karke aage share kiya Mujhe jo bhi saza di jayegi, main usse mannane ke liye tayyar hoon. Jo bhi kaha jayega, main woh karungi. (I read the feedback, realized the mistake, and took the video down immediately. But others had already saved it and are now circulating it again. I am ready to face any consequences. I only seek forgiveness.)"

In a video she shared on her official Instagram handle, Payal was seen visibly breaking down in tears as she expressed her regret. She was seen performing seva by cleaning utensils and helping serve food in the temple. Watch the video here:
