Controversies Impact My Family More, Says Amaal Mallik
MUMBAI- Singer and music composer Amaal Mallik has spoken candidly about dealing with controversies in the public eye, saying their impact has been felt more strongly by his family than by himself.
IAmaal reflected on how he has evolved in responding to criticism and public scrutiny. When asked how much controversies have affected his life, he said, “My family gets affected more than me. I’ve answered everything I needed to over the years. But I reached a point where I wondered how many people am I going to answer? People can see the truth now. I don’t go around tweeting and reacting as I used to.”
He added, “Whatever I am, not a hundred percent, but three hundred percent, you have seen on ‘Bigg Boss’. This is who I am.”
Speaking about his parents’ reaction to his journey and the feedback they shared with him, Amaal said they are happy and have been spending a lot of time at his home. He noted that they gently pointed out moments where he could have handled situations differently. “They’re very happy. They’ve been staying at my house constantly. They pointed out where I could’ve controlled my aggression better, especially the plate incident. But overall, they’re proud. Whatever I felt, they felt the same.”
Reflecting on his emotional moments on the show, particularly when his brother and father entered the house, Amaal said those instances highlighted the depth of his family bonds. He also spoke about opening up on national television about his grandfather and his mother’s struggles.
“If someone asks me about my entire journey, I will answer honestly. I’m not afraid to speak my truth. People worry about their image or their following. I don’t. If I’m telling my story, I will tell it fully,” he said. “Some things my parents felt I could have said differently—naturally, their perspective is different from mine. They weren’t living inside that house. But I spoke from my heart.”
Amaal Mallik emerged as the fourth runner-up on the reality show ‘Bigg Boss 19’. (IANS)
