Vishal says he was traumatised after slapping incident
While recalling the slapping incident, Vishal told, “That Weekend Ka Vaar was very heavy for me. I was being bashed since morning and it ended with the slap. But the name calling hadn’t stopped, I was zoned out for 3-4 days. Mentally I was just not there in the game. I just kept thinking what people would be saying about my character outside, what would my parents think. Payal Malik had twisted the words. I didn’t remember what I said. There was a point I wondered if I was wrong. It was all very traumatising.”
He further said, “You can call Bhagyashali Bhaiyya to anyone. I had clarified this to Sana Makbul too. I looked at Kritika to check if she was gone. I never checked her out. I do feel Armaan is very lucky to have not one but two such caring wives. People were not understanding that they were character assassinating me. It has damaged my image a lot. I still don’t get why Armaan was not pulled up for this. Even Chandrika’s involvement in that matter was unnecessary.”
