Malik Family Saga: From Despair to Redemption
6 Oct
Summary
- Daboo Malik's journey from acting to music, then supporting his sons Amaal and Armaan
- Amaal's public accusation of parental favoritism towards Armaan
- Daboo's reflection on his mistakes and the family's journey to reconciliation
In 2025, Daboo Malik, a veteran music composer, reflects on his journey in the entertainment industry in his autobiography "Never Too Late". After a brief stint in acting, Daboo found success in music with hits like "Maine Dil Tujhko Diya" and "Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge". However, as the industry evolved, Daboo felt left behind. The loss of his father in 2006 pushed him into despair, and he told his sons Amaal and Armaan that he was done.
Instead of restarting his career, Daboo dedicated his energy to preparing Amaal and Armaan for the future. Their subsequent success as a composer and singer became the redemption Daboo thought he had lost. In March 2025, Amaal publicly announced that he had cut ties with his family, accusing his parents of favoring Armaan. Daboo admits that this was true and that the family had focused too much on Armaan's success, neglecting Amaal's needs.
The family has since reconciled, with Daboo acknowledging his mistakes as a parent. He believes that Amaal's decision to speak up was a good one, as it opened his eyes to the imbalance in the family's attention. Daboo also clarifies that he holds no grudges against his elder brother, music composer-singer Anu Malik, and that the love between the siblings is unreal.
