Mumbai, December 17 (NationPress) As the conclusion of 2025 approaches, singer and composer Armaan Malik has described it as one of the hardest years he has ever faced.

He shared that this past year compelled him to reassess both himself and those around him, resulting in the emergence of a new side of himself he was unaware of.

In a post on his X account (formerly known as Twitter), he wrote, "Setting aside my achievements and work, this year has been the most challenging of my life, and I recognize that I am not alone in this. It forced me to view myself and others with a clarity that shattered my previous self and welcomed a new version of me. (sic)"

Fully embracing this transformed self, Armaan plans to greet 2026 with renewed vigor.

"In the Year of the Snake, I have shed my old skin and embraced this new identity. I look forward to new energies and healing as we transition into the sunlight and into the new year: 2026," the talented composer added.

In a recent update, Armaan expressed his worries regarding the declining air quality in Mumbai.

He highlighted that the escalating pollution levels in the Maximum City are severely affecting the health of its inhabitants.

His message on the micro-blogging platform read, "Mumbai's air feels increasingly oppressive daily. I've observed more individuals falling ill this month than ever before, and it isn't due to the weather… it’s the air. The smog. The dust. This is the reality we are inhaling. From children to the elderly, everyone is coughing or struggling. How can we be expected to live, work, or feel safe in these conditions? (sic)."

He urged authorities to devise an immediate action plan to address the situation, stating, "This matter requires urgent attention from those in power. We cannot simply purify the air to escape a crisis. We need concrete solutions now."
