Ouch! Sangram Singh reveals that people have discouraged him from marrying Payal Rohatgi

MUMBAI: Sangram Singh is a wrestler, actor, motivational speaker, philanthropist, and honorary doctorate. He is the brand ambassador and Fit India Icon of Fit India Campaign, 2021. He has also appeared in a number of reality television shows such as Survivor India and was finalist of season seven of Bigg Boss in 2013.

Sangram and actress Payal Rohatgi got engaged on 27 February 2014 at a ceremony in Payal's hometown Ahmedabad. Sangram had recently declared that he will marry her in July. The announcement came after Payal emotionally expressed her frustration at not being married despite dating Sangram for 12 years. She said it during an episode of reality show Lock Upp, where she is one of the contestants.

Ending all speculation about their relationship, Sangram had declared their wedding date. “Payal is very good girl. We are equal, every couple think and live like in same manner. We planned for marriage in March but due to our both work commitments, will do in July near my birthday. God bless all,” he had said in a tweet.

Now, in a new interview, Sangram has shed more light on what was stopping them from taking the plunge. He said that he was told Payal was not the right choice for him. Speaking about Payal and the potential fights they might have after marriage, he said, “In a house full of utensils, some noise can always be expected. But Payal is a very nice girl. I think she hasn't been understood. We both give a lot of freedom to each other in the creative space,” he said.

“I remember a lot of people predicted that our relationship won't last. I was told Payal is not the right girl for me. There was a Brahmin who was a fraud; Payal used to get pujas done from him. I asked her to stop everything. When that man does not know his own future, how will he tell ours? Every relationship has its share of differences. But trust me, we have been thick and never taken a break in our relationship,” he added.

During an episode of Lock Upp, Payal got emotional when co-contestant Kaaranvir Bohra said that she wants a ‘slave for a husband.' Payal got upset thinking what Sangram's parents might think about it, considering there has already been a delay in their wedding. She even said that Sangram's friends have been telling him not to marry her.

Meanwhile, reality show titled Lock Upp launched with 17 contestants who are locked in jail, play the game, and fight for getting bail to survive. It streams on MX Player and ALTBalaji. The audience has given it a thumbs-up. Kangana Ranaut has made her OTT debut with the show as a host. She guides the contestants.
