Amaal Mallik Reveals Family Rift, Armaan Steps Up as Brother Struggles with Fame

As of September 2025, the entertainment industry is abuzz with the news of Amaal Mallik's personal struggles. The music composer, who is currently a contestant on Bigg Boss 19, recently made a startling announcement that he had cut ties with his family.

Amaal revealed that he had been going through a period of depression and an identity crisis. On the show, he confided in fellow contestant Zeishan Quadri, saying, "I had put up a post on the internet saying that I was in depression and had cut ties with my family, maybe that's why they called me. I was going through an identity crisis. I was making all the songs, but no one was asking about me."

Amaal's younger brother, Armaan Malik, who is a popular singer, has been a source of support during this time. Amaal shared that Armaan has never made him feel like "the star and you're not," and that their relationship is more like that of a father and son.

In a surprising turn of events, Amaal's father, Daboo Mallik, has now come forward to address the situation. In an interview, Daboo acknowledged that they, as parents, were at fault for taking Amaal, the elder son, for granted. He said, "I realised that this public outburst, which shouldn't have come out in public in the first place, happened because there must have been something in his heart that he wanted the world, including his family, to know. And I accepted that we, as parents, were at fault."

As Amaal continues his journey on Bigg Boss 19, the Mallik family's story has captivated the entertainment world, shedding light on the complexities of fame and family dynamics.
