Mumbai, March 20 (NationPress) Singer Amaal Mallik has removed his controversial post discussing his struggle with depression and his decision to cut ties with his family. The music composer has since issued a clarification regarding his previous remarks.
In an update on his Instagram stories, Amaal expressed gratitude for the support he has received and requested that media outlets refrain from harassing his family. He stated, “Thank you for the love and support; it truly means a lot, but I would request the media portals to not harass my family. Please don’t sensationalize and give negative headlines to my vulnerability…It’s a request. It’s taken a lot for me to open up & it is a very tough time for me…I will always love my family, but for now, from afar. Nothing changes between us brothers, Armaan and I are one, and nothing can come between us. Love & Peace.”
In his now-deleted post, Amaal candidly shared his feelings surrounding his battle with clinical depression and the strained relationship with his brother, Armaan Malik, indicating that the growing distance stemmed from their parents. In an emotional Instagram message, he shared his choice to maintain only professional ties with his family moving forward.
Amaal revealed that after dedicating years to the music industry and composing 126 songs over the past decade, he felt overlooked and unappreciated by his family. This neglect, he explained, has significantly affected his mental health and self-esteem. He also indicated that his parents’ actions played a substantial role in creating tension between him and his brother.
In an excerpt from his now-deleted post, he noted, “The journey has been terrific for 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 across my heart. Through the last many years, they have left no opportunity to disturb my well-being and belittle all my friendships, my relationships, my mindset, and my self-confidence. 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.”
In the wake of Amaal's shocking revelations, his mother, Jyothi Mallik, chose to remain silent during an interview. She simply stated that whatever he has shared is his decision.
