Amaal Mallik grew up in a family where music was always present. He is the son of music director Daboo Malik and Jyothi Malik, and the elder brother of singer Armaan Malik. After completing his education, Amaal began his career in the early 2000s by working on background scores with composers like Sandeep Chowta and Salim–Sulaiman. During this time, he contributed to films like Rowdy Rathore, R… Rajkumar, and Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns. He later became known for hit songs such as Kar Gayi Chul, Hua Hain Aaj Pehli Baar, Buddhu Sa Mann, Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon, and Sooraj Dooba Hai. (Photo: Instagram)

In a recent episode of Bigg Boss, tensions rose after Kunickaa Sadanand made a remark about Tanya Mittal’s mother. Amaal became emotional and said that he has always tried to stand up for what is right. In the same conversation, he shared his personal struggles. He said, “Bahut dhamkiya mili hai, khatam kar dunga, ye kar dunga, wo kar dunga, dekhte hai kitna chaloge iss industry mein. Bade bade producers and actors ne picture se nikala hai. Mai yehi khada hu par. Ek hit dunga, phirse ajayenge. Industry aisi hai.” Amaal added that he cannot rest until he speaks up against wrongs, even if it disappoints his fans or family, and that is why he is not afraid to self-nominate.

Recently, Amaal Mallik made headlines after announcing that he has cut off ties with his family and brother Armaan Malik. In March this year, he publicly shared that he needed distance from them. Amaal explained that one of the reasons for this step was the constant comparison with Armaan, who is also a well-known singer. These comparisons, according to him, made it difficult to focus on his own career. (Photo: Instagram)

Amaal also revealed that he has battled clinical depression. He admitted that the constant comparisons with his brother deeply affected his mental health. This pressure pushed him to step away from his family. Speaking about it, he recalled how his parents and others felt he should not have spoken openly about being depressed. During his entry on Bigg Boss, he said, “When I shared a post about feeling depressed, many people, including my parents, thought I shouldn’t have done it.” (Photo: Instagram)

Inside the Bigg Boss house, Amaal addressed a common rumour about his work. In an episode when, Tanya Mittal asked him if his father made music for him, which he denied. Tanya teased him, saying such talent can’t come from someone so young, and hinted it must be his father’s work. Amaal firmly replied that every song he has made is his own. He revealed that even his uncle’s assistant once told him that people believed his father composed music for him. Amaal stressed that every track was created by him, with his own hard work.

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Amaal opened about issues between his father Daboo Malik and his uncle Anu Malik. He claimed that while they stayed close as family, work often created tension. Amaal said that Anu would sometimes take projects that were meant for Daboo, even offering to do them for free. Amaal revealed that this slowed down Daboo’s career and even affected his mental health. He then went on to add that these professional clashes played a big role in his father’s struggle with depression. (Photo: Instagram)

Amaal also shared how the family differences affected the younger generation. He recalled that at parties or family events, his uncle Anu Malik’s children would often avoid his family. Amaal felt this distance grew over time, even though their parents stayed in touch. He described Anu as highly ambitious and compared him to a lion chasing his goals. While Amaal respected his uncle’s drive, he admitted that the bond between the cousins broke with time. Today, he said, they hardly share any real connection. (Photo: Instagram)

During the first week of Bigg Boss 19, a video of Amaal Mallik went viral on social media. In the clip, he stood in front of the camera and sent a sweet message to his girlfriend. He assured her that she had nothing to worry about inside the house. Amaal said that he had carried her respect with him and promised to stay true to her. He added that they would sit and talk openly once the show ended. He continued to add that even though it has only been three days, he is missing her a lot and wished that the two could have spent more time with each other. Apart from this, he assured the girl that no matter how negatively he is portrayed in the house, it is only because the environment is like that. (Photo: Instagram)
