March 21, 2025: In a deeply personal revelation, music producer and singer Amaal Mallik has shared his struggles with clinical depression and the strained family dynamics that have contributed to his emotional turmoil. The 29-year-old, renowned for hits like Kar Gayi Chull and Jab Tak, took to Instagram to open up about his emotional battles, including the challenges he has faced within his own family.
Amaal’s Instagram post, which he later deleted, was a raw and vulnerable message that acknowledged the pain he has been carrying for years. In the post, he explained how his years of hard work and dedication to his music career, while trying to support his family, were met with criticism rather than the appreciation he expected.
“I have reached a point where I can no longer stay silent about the pain I’ve endured,” he shared, revealing how his personal and professional efforts to shape a better life for his family often led to misunderstandings and emotional distress. Amaal also spoke about the growing divide between him and his brother, singer Armaan Mallik, which he blamed on actions by their parents that, according to Amaal, created an emotional rift between them.
“My self-worth has been diminished countless times by the actions of those closest to me,” Amaal wrote, showing the emotional impact that family struggles had on him. He candidly shared how these personal difficulties had contributed to his ongoing battle with clinical depression. “I am clinically depressed because of these happenings,” he said, a moment of openness that highlighted the serious mental health challenges he’s been facing.
Despite the deep personal pain, Amaal reassured his followers that his bond with Armaan remains strong. “Nothing changes between us brothers, Armaan and I are one, and nothing can come between us,” he emphasized, showing solidarity with his sibling amid the turmoil.
Amaal ended his post by asking the media and public to respect his privacy during this difficult time. “Please don’t sensationalize and give negative headlines to my vulnerability,” he urged, explaining how tough it was to be open about his mental health struggles.
Known for his breakthrough in 2014 with the song Tere Naina from Jai Ho, Amaal Mallik has been a respected figure in the Indian music industry. His vulnerability in sharing his mental health journey and family challenges is a reminder of the personal struggles that can accompany fame and success.
