Composer Amaal Mallik cuts ties with his family, blames parents for strained relationship with brother Armaan
BOMBAY TIMES (March 21, 2025)
Composer-singer Amaal Mallik shared a post on Instagram announcing his separation from his family yesterday. In his note, he also blamed his parents, Jyothi and Daboo Malik, for his strained relationship with his brother, Armaan Malik.
Amaal wrote, “I’ve reached a point where I can no longer keep silent about the pain I’ve endured. For years, I’ve been made to feel like I am less in spite of spending days and nights toiling away to make a safe life for people. Cancelled every dream of mine to only find myself to be spoken down to and question what I’ve ever done. I have spent my blood, sweat and tears to create each of the 126 melodies that have released over the last decade (sic).”
‘WE AS BROTHERS HAVE GONE TOO FAR FROM ONE ANOTHER’
Amaal further wrote, “I made every dream on earth within an arm’s reach for them, so that they can stand tall in front of the world and keep their head held high. I, along with my brother’s vocal prowess, have changed the narrative of being called XYZ’s nephew or son to whoever we are today! The journey has been terrific for the both of us, but the actions of my parents have been the reason we as brothers have gone too far from one another and all of this has made me step in for myself as it has left a very deep scar left across my heart.”
“Through the last many years they have left no opportunity to disturb my well-being & belittle all my friendships, my relationships, my mindset, my self confidence. But I just kept marching on because I know I can and I believe I’m unshakable. Everything that we stand on today has come from one mind, mine and from the blessings of the almighty,” he continued.
‘I AM CLINICALLY DEPRESSED BECAUSE OF THESE HAPPENINGS’
Stating that he has clinical depression, the composer-singer wrote, “But today I stand at a point where I have been robbed of my peace, drained emotionally & maybe financially too, but that’s the least of my concerns. What really matters is that I am clinically depressed because of these happenings. Yes, I have only myself to blame for my actions, but my self-worth has been diminished countless times by actions of near and dear ones that stole pieces of my soul.”
‘I AM COMMITTED TO REBUILDING MY LIFE’
“Today, with a heavy heart, I announce that I am stepping away from these personal ties. From now on, my interactions with my family will be strictly professional. This isn’t a decision made in anger, but one born from the necessity to heal and reclaim my life. I refuse to let the past rob me of my future any longer. I am committed to rebuilding my life, piece by piece, with honesty and strength,” he signed off.
