Inside the Bigg Boss 19 house, Amaal Mallik, the renowned music composer, has had a difficult time. Best known for his soulful melodies and versatile compositions in Bollywood, Amaal comes from a family deeply rooted in music. He is the son of composer Daboo Malik and the grandson of veteran composer Sardar Malik, and the brother of popular playback singer Armaan Malik.
Recently, Amaal was seen in tears, recounting instances where prominent figures in the film industry had him removed from various projects. This revelation sheds light on the struggles and challenges he faced despite his musical talent and pedigree. While the specific details of these incidents remain undisclosed, the emotional impact on Amaal was evident to viewers.
Amaal's journey hasn't been without its share of personal turmoil either. Earlier in March 2025, he revealed that he had cut ties with his family after constant comparisons with his brother led to clinical depression. This revelation came as a shock to many, highlighting the intense pressure and emotional toll that competition and expectations can have within families, especially in the entertainment industry. However, he later shared that the public discussion helped heal the differences, bringing them closer and leading to a reconciliation.
Adding to the drama, Amaal was recently involved in an argument with fellow contestant Tanya Mittal over a seemingly minor issue involving a coffee mug. The argument escalated when Amaal felt that Tanya was unnecessarily reminding him to wash his mug.
His performance in the Bigg Boss house has also come under scrutiny. Host Salman Khan recently questioned Amaal's participation, asking if he had come to the house just to sleep. Salman pointed out that Amaal's image was suffering and that expectations of him creating a storm in the house were not being met. Salman noted that Amaal, who was expected to be a strong contender, had become a background artist.
Adding to the controversies, Amaal's "hitting gesture" at Tanya Mittal after their argument over the coffee mug sparked debate among viewers.
Despite the challenges and controversies, Amaal's presence in Bigg Boss 19 has undoubtedly added another layer of intrigue to the show. It remains to be seen how he will navigate the complexities of the house and address the issues that have surfaced during his time on the show.
