Amaal Mallik Hits Back at Bot Accusations

Singer’s fiery reply to viral social media post sparks heated debate online

March 8, 2026: Music composer and singer Amaal Mallik has landed in the middle of a fresh online controversy after a social media user accused him of using bots to inflate his popularity. The allegation was posted on X by an account claiming to be a fan of Shah Rukh Khan and reality TV personality Baseer Ali. The post sarcastically congratulated Mallik for allegedly using “40 million plus bots,” quickly going viral and triggering widespread discussion across social media platforms.

Mallik responded directly to the accusation with a lengthy and strongly worded message, sharply criticising the user and questioning the authenticity of their fandom. In his reply, the singer used aggressive language and even warned that he could track the person’s IP address and have them sent to jail in Yavatmal. His response spread rapidly online, drawing thousands of reactions from both supporters and critics.

The exchange reignited conversations about Mallik’s earlier controversy during Bigg Boss 19, where he had a heated clash with contestant Farrhana Bhatt over a captaincy task involving another participant, Neelam Giri. While many fans defended the singer and praised the emotional appeal of his music, others criticised his tone on social media, saying public figures should respond more responsibly during online disputes.
