Amaal Mallik: Bigg Boss Cleansed Me
4 May
Summary
- Amaal Mallik joined Bigg Boss not for validation but as a personal challenge.
- He feels Bigg Boss made him a household name and helped him overcome depression.
- Amaal aims to be known for his own work, not just his famous musical family.

Amaal Mallik has spoken about his journey, revealing he joined Bigg Boss as a personal challenge, not for career validation. He described the experience as a 'cleansing,' which helped him overcome depression and emerge stronger, leading to him becoming a household name.
Mallik also discussed the importance of establishing his individual identity separate from his brother, Armaan. He explained the past family pressures stemming from comparisons between their careers as a singer and a composer. He also noted that he is the recipient of 'reverse nepotism,' highlighting Salman Khan's role in launching his career at age 23.
He clarified that his relationship with co-contestant Farrhana Bhatt is purely platonic and has been single since 2019. Mallik now sees himself as a 'social media relevant musician,' focusing on independent music, music videos, and stage shows, while also exploring acting offers if they align with his artistic vision.
