In a heartfelt response to ongoing comparisons between him and his brother, Amaal Mallik, singer Armaan Malik has appealed to fans to cease the constant pitting of the two against each other. This plea was followed by a touching message from Amaal, who reinforced their unbreakable bond, stating, "My brother is my pride, my baby, my everything".

The appeal comes after a viral social media post claimed Amaal Mallik had surpassed his brother Armaan in listener numbers on a music streaming app, which ignited a fresh wave of comparisons between the siblings. Armaan addressed the situation directly in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), expressing his confusion over the continued attempts to create rivalry between him and Amaal. "I genuinely don't understand why a section of the fandom keeps trying to pit me and Amaal against each other," Armaan wrote, emphasizing their distinct paths and mutual support for each other's growth and success. He urged fans to "end the comparisons," reminding them, "We're bigger than that".

Armaan further encouraged fans to focus on the positive music and momentum anticipated in the new year, rather than wasting energy on comparisons. "Let's stand united, move forward together, and let the music do all the talking peace & love x," he added.

Amaal Mallik echoed his brother's sentiments, emphasizing that professional comparisons should not come at the expense of personal respect and familial bonds. Responding to Armaan's post, Amaal took to X to express his dismay over attempts to create a rift between them. "Please bhai log let's not do this. We are united by blood, divided by nothing," Amaal wrote, underscoring the deep connection they share. He made it clear that any negativity directed towards Armaan affects him equally, highlighting that their relationship transcends career achievements. "Hurting or disrespecting him in any way is equal to hurting me," he affirmed. Amaal concluded his message with a heartfelt plea: "Just spread love & let's be a bigger, happier fan family from here on. Dil se request hai".

This isn't the first time Armaan has defended his brother against negativity. In October, when Amaal was a contestant on Bigg Boss 19, Armaan refuted claims that Amaal was jealous of his success. He lauded Amaal as the "most selfless human I know," emphasizing the sacrifices Amaal has made.

In July 2025, Amaal spoke about how comparisons with Armaan had led him to create distance with his parents, while clarifying that he and Armaan have no issues. He mentioned how his mother would compare their journeys, creating pressure and differences of opinion.

The Malik brothers have consistently presented a united front, emphasizing their individual journeys and mutual support. Their recent statements serve as a reminder to fans and the public that their bond is far more significant than any perceived rivalry.
