Music composer Amaal Mallik has shared a heart-wrenching and deeply personal post on social media, revealing the emotional toll his family dynamics have taken on him. In a long and candid note, Amaal disclosed that he has been diagnosed with clinical depression, attributing much of his emotional pain to the growing distance between him and his brother, singer Armaan Malik, as well as his strained relationship with his parents. He expressed that he could no longer stay silent about the years of hurt he has experienced.
Strained Family Relationships and Personal Sacrifices
In his post, Amaal Mallik detailed the immense emotional sacrifices he made for his family, only to feel undermined and dismissed. He wrote, “For years, I’ve been made to feel like I am less in spite of spending days and nights toiling away to make a safe life for people.” Despite his dedication to his craft and the significant success he has achieved, Amaal claimed that his contributions were overlooked, and his self-worth was continuously diminished by his loved ones.
Reflecting on his musical journey with his brother Armaan, Amaal highlighted their accomplishments in changing the narrative of being “XYZ’s nephew or son” to being respected artists in their own right. However, the tension between them, largely caused by their parents’ actions, has taken a significant emotional toll on him. Amaal admitted that this fracture in his family has left a deep scar in his heart, making him step away from his past relationships in order to heal.
Amaal’s Battle with Depression and Decision to Cut Ties
Opening up about his mental health, Amaal shared that he has been clinically diagnosed with depression, blaming the emotional drain caused by these familial issues. He explained that his personal and professional peace had been “robbed,” leaving him emotionally drained. Although he acknowledged his own mistakes, he also placed much of the blame on those closest to him, stating that their actions had “stolen pieces of my soul.”
In a bold and brave move, Amaal announced that he would now cut all personal ties with his family. He clarified that this decision was not made out of anger but out of necessity for his own healing and future. He wrote, “From now on, my interactions with my family will be strictly professional.” The decision, he said, was an important step towards reclaiming his life and rebuilding himself with honesty and strength.
Industry Support and Encouragement
Amaal’s vulnerable post garnered widespread support from the music industry and his fans, with many expressing admiration for his courage in opening up about such a personal struggle. Colleagues and followers shared messages of love, applauding his honesty and encouraging him to continue his healing journey. As Amaal focuses on his mental well-being, his bravery in confronting his inner turmoil has resonated with many, highlighting the importance of prioritizing self-care over toxic family dynamics.
