With folded hands and tearful eyes, she spoke to the media, taking full responsibility and requesting the public not to repeat her mistake. “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 is a devoted follower of Kali Maa, so I thought of recreating the look for her. Maybe I made a big mistake. I fold my hands and sincerely apologise to everyone. I hope no one repeats the mistake I made),” she said.

She further explained that the controversial video was filmed nearly three months ago and was deleted shortly after receiving negative comments. However, the video continued circulating as others saved and reshared it on social media. “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 (I read the comments and realised I had made a mistake. I immediately deleted the video.

About The Viral Video

As part of her atonement, Payal and Armaan participated in seva at the temple. They have been seen cleaning utensils and serving food to devotees. These moments were shared on her Instagram, likely to demonstrate her sincerity and accountability amid the backlash. The original video depicted Payal dressed as Goddess Kali. She was holding symbolic items like a Trishul (trident) and wearing a traditional crown. Many viewers found the portrayal disrespectful and insensitive to religious sentiments.
