'Robbed Of My Peace, Drained': Singer-Composer Amaal Mallik Blames Parents For Depression In Heartbreaking Note, Cuts Ties With Family

Renowned singer and music composer, Amaal Malik, the elder brother of singer Armaan Mallik, took to his social media on Thursday and announced his decision to cut all ties with his family. In his heartbreaking note, Amaal penned how he gave his blood and sweat for his family, but he was always belittled, resulting into him being diagnosed with clinical depression.

Amaal, who is the son of Daboo Malik and nephew of renowned music composer Anu Malik, wrote on Instagram, "I've reached a point where I can no longer keep silent about the pain I've endured. 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. Cancelled every dream of mine to only find myself to be spoke down to and question what I’ve ever done. I have spent my blood, sweat & tears to create each of the 126 melodies that have released over the last decade (sic).

"I made every dream on earth within an arm's reach for them, so that they can stand tall in front of the world and keep their head held high. I along with my brother's vocal prowess have changed the narrative of being called XYZ's nephew or son to whoever we are today! (sic)," he added.

Amaal then revealed, "The journey has been terrific for the both of us but the actions of my parents have been the reason we as brothers have gone too far from one another and all of this has made me step in for myself as it has left a very deep scar left across my heart (sic)."

He went on to say, "Through the last many years they have left no opportunity to disturb my well being & belittle all my friendships, my relationships, my mindset, my self confidence. But I just kept marching on because I know I can and I believe I’m unshakable. Everything that we stand on today has come from one mind, mine and from the blessings of the almighty (sic)."

Opening up about being diagnosed with clinical depression, the Kar Gayi Chull composer wrote, "But today I stand at a point where I have been robbed of my peace, drained emotionally & maybe financially too but that’s the least of my concerns. What really matters is that I am clinically depressed because of these happenings. Yes I have only myself to blame for my actions but my self worth has been diminished countless times by actions of near and dear ones that stole pieces of my soul (sic)."

"Today, with a heavy heart, I announce that I am stepping away from these personal ties. From now on, my interactions with my family will be strictly professional.This isn’t a decision made in anger, but one born from the necessity to heal and reclaim my life. I refuse to let the past rob me of my future any longer. I am committed to rebuilding my life, piece by piece, with honesty and strength (sic)," he concluded.

His family, including his brother Armaan Malik, are yet to react to the statement.

Amaal has composed some of the most popular songs, including, Sooraj Dooba Hai, Bol Do Na Zara, Jab Tak, Kaun Tujhe, Ami Je Tomar 3.0, to name a few.
