In a surprising turn of events, composer and singer Amaal Mallik has expressed his distress and potential reconsideration of releasing his upcoming music video with Farrhana Bhatt, citing intense and toxic fan wars. The announcement, made on February 7, 2026, has sent ripples through the music industry and Bigg Boss fandoms, leaving many concerned about the project's future.
Mallik, who appeared on Bigg Boss 19, has been dealing with the aftermath of the show, facing scrutiny and social media backlash for his outspoken nature and emotional responses during conflicts. The situation escalated when he revealed his collaboration with fellow Bigg Boss 19 contestant Farrhana Bhatt for a new song.
According to Mallik, the announcement triggered a wave of negativity and hostility among various fan clubs associated with the reality show. These "fan wars," as he described them, quickly spiraled out of control, with online drama and personal attacks becoming rampant. Mallik addressed the situation in a heartfelt note shared on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the constant online drama has deeply affected him, both emotionally and physically. He revealed that he has been unable to sleep properly for the last ten days, and the pressure has intensified as he prepares for the song release and an important concert.
"If my family here on X feel I have hurt them, know that it was never my intention, but it's hard to figure out who is being true here or anywhere in the world nowadays… IYKYK! In life you can't stand up for any one and every one, but I still try every single time to be there for my friends and people," Mallik shared in his post. He further added, "I know which fan clubs se kaun kya kar raha (who is doing what), and I know it's been dirty all around on X…". He also expressed his disappointment that many people are still fixated on past Bigg Boss events, remaining stuck in the "reel world" instead of the real one.
The backlash has left Mallik disturbed and hesitant to release the music video. The composer even hinted at potentially canceling the project altogether, leaving fans in suspense. The situation highlights the dark side of online fandoms and the impact that negativity and cyberbullying can have on artists. It also raises questions about the responsibility of fan clubs and the need for greater online etiquette.
While the future of the music video remains uncertain, Mallik's message serves as a stark reminder of the importance of kindness, respect, and mental health in the digital age. It remains to be seen whether the fan wars will subside and allow the project to proceed, or if Mallik will ultimately decide to shelve the collaboration.
