Amaal Mallik’s Public Family Feud: A Risky Move in Bollywood’s Closed Club


 Amaal Mallik, a prominent Bollywood composer and singer, has stirred controversy by airing family grievances in public, most notably during his dramatic stint on Bigg Boss 19 (premiered late August 2025 and ongoing), where he tearfully detailed childhood betrayals and toxic relatives. In Bollywood’s tight-knit “closed club,” where disputes are typically resolved behind closed doors, Amaal’s decision to expose his strained ties with his father Daboo Malik, brother Armaan Malik, and uncle Anu Malik—coupled with his March 2025 social media post about severing personal family ties due to depression and feeling undervalued—risks alienating industry allies and tarnishing his image as an “arrogant nepo kid,” as some X trolls claim. However, his raw vulnerability on Bigg Boss, including breakdowns over being overshadowed by Armaan and sabotaged by Anu, has also won sympathy from fans praising his mental health advocacy (#AmaalMallik trends show support). While this public laundry-washing could cost him collaborations in Bollywood’s cliquish ecosystem, it might pay off by boosting his relatable, anti-establishment persona, potentially fueling a career revival through Bigg Boss buzz or a cathartic new album, provided he navigates the backlash wisely.
