Mumbai, March 20 (NationPress) Esteemed artist Amaal Mallik has made some startling statements via a social media update. He disclosed that his family has been a hindrance to his progress, leading him to sever ties with them.
Amaal expressed in his lengthy Instagram message, “I’ve reached a point where I can no longer remain silent about the anguish I’ve faced. For years, I have been made to feel inferior despite dedicating my time and effort to create a secure life for those around me. I have sacrificed every personal ambition only to find myself belittled and questioned about my achievements. I have poured my blood, sweat, and tears into crafting each of the 126 songs that have been released over the past decade.”
Amaal also criticized his parents for the increasing rift between him and his brother, Armaan Malik.
“My parents’ actions have driven a wedge between us as siblings, and this has compelled me to take a stand for myself, leaving a profound scar on my heart,” he stated.
The artist discussed his battle with clinical depression, saying, “But today, I find myself in a position where I have been stripped of my peace, emotionally drained, and possibly financially too, but that is the least of my worries. What truly matters is that I am clinically depressed due to these circumstances. Yes, I take responsibility for my actions, but my self-worth has been repeatedly undermined by the actions of those close to me who have taken pieces of my spirit.”
In announcing his decision to cut all personal relationships with his family, Amaal wrote on the photo-sharing platform, “Today, with a heavy heart, I declare that I am distancing myself from these personal connections. From now on, my engagements with my family will be purely professional. This isn't a choice made out of anger, but one that arises from the need to heal and reclaim my life. I refuse to allow the past to steal my future any longer. I am dedicated to reconstructing my life, piece by piece, with integrity and resolve.”
