Mumbai, Oct 3 (NationPress) In a revealing moment on the latest episode of “Bigg Boss 19,” music composer Amaal Mallik spoke candidly about a past relationship, disclosing that his ex’s family opposed their love due to religious differences.
The singer shared his personal struggles with fellow contestant Farrhana, detailing the emotional toll the situation took on his former girlfriend. “She was literally sick, so weak… I sat with her for hours and tried to explain that her parents weren’t agreeing,” he recalled. Mallik expressed the heartbreak he felt during her wedding, stating, “She asked me on stage and even over the phone, ‘If you come, I won’t get married.’ I couldn’t go because then it would come on me, and I had to balance my career and respect for my mom and dad.”
“When all this was happening, I was working on Kabir Singh. It felt like my life was playing out like a movie.”
Amaal also revealed that after their relationship ended and his ex eventually married, 2020 became a tough year for him. He experienced depression and faced differences with his parents.
Reflecting on his career, he shared, “I’ve been running my house ever since I was 15. My first film I worked on as a background music assistant, and since then I had to keep moving forward. I had responsibilities and couldn’t stop.” He mentioned that his father’s health and expectations drove him: “There was a point where all doors were closed for me… I just felt, before something happens to my dad, I have to be successful. I had to make it.”
Discussing his early industry experiences, he added, “My dad left 20 films for me. I started as a big assistant at 15, and from there, everything was learning on the go.”
“We used to ask our dad why we haven’t gotten invitations for Filmfare or big gigs. He’d say, ‘I’ve done 75 films so far, and still nobody has called me.’ That gave me a certain anger, a drive to push myself further.”
Amaal also reflected on his journey to fame and recognition. “Right now, in my generation, I’m the most well-known music director. I’ve made my place, and it’s been through dedication, hard work, and persistence. I’ve faced heartbreak, pressure, and responsibilities, but that’s what shaped me.”
