Amaal Malik on Battling Depression and Leaving His Home
Music composer Amaal Malik, known for his soulful melodies and chart-topping hits, has now stepped into the Bigg Boss 19 house, determined to show fans a side of him far beyond the studio. While the world knows him as the man behind unforgettable Bollywood tracks, inside the Bigg Boss walls, Amaal is baring his soul, sharing his struggles, controversies, and his lifelong dream of carrying forward the Malik family’s musical legacy.
Who is Amaal Malik?
Belonging to one of India’s most respected musical dynasties, Amaal is the grandson of the legendary composer Sardar Malik, son of composer Daboo Malik, and elder brother of singing sensation Armaan Malik. He has created some of Bollywood’s most beloved tracks, winning both critical and commercial acclaim. But while his professional achievements shine bright, his personal journey has been far from smooth.
The Family Rift & Controversy
In 2023, Amaal made headlines after he publicly admitted that he had been battling depression, a revelation that shocked many fans. He also confessed to having a strained relationship with his parents and even distanced himself from his younger brother, Armaan. Reports suggested that the pressure of constant comparisons, combined with personal misunderstandings, drove a wedge between him and his family.
At one point, Amaal even moved out of his home, making it clear that the Malik household was no longer a safe emotional space for him. His candid confessions left fans both surprised and empathetic, as few expected the successful composer to reveal such raw vulnerability.
Why Bigg Boss?
So why did Amaal choose the high-pressure battleground of Bigg Boss? His answer is simple yet powerful: authenticity. “I want people to see the real Amaal,” he declared upon entering. He admitted he is completely unprepared for the house, openly sharing that he doesn’t know how to cook and even spoke about his medical condition that causes him to snore, something most celebrities would shy away from admitting. This honesty struck a chord instantly with fans and housemates alike.
Even Salman Khan, who has known Amaal since childhood, gave him a warm welcome, visibly touched to see the young musician stepping into such a challenging space.
The Dream of ‘The Legacy of the Maliks’
Beyond the controversies, Amaal also spoke about a project very close to his heart, his dream to one day make a film that showcases the musical legacy of the Maliks, starting from his grandfather Sardar Malik. For him, this isn’t just about music, it’s about preserving a family heritage that has touched generations of listeners.
In a season already brimming with drama, Amaal Malik stands out not for aggression or controversies, but for his vulnerability and emotional depth. From his revelations about depression and family conflict to his desire to carry forward the Malik name with pride, Amaal’s journey promises to be one of the most heartfelt arcs of Bigg Boss 19.
Whether he emerges as the calm voice of reason in the house or finds himself clashing with stronger personalities, one thing is certain: Amaal Malik is here to rewrite his narrative, on his own terms.
