Music composer and singer Amaal Mallik, who is currently inside Bigg Boss 19, has become one of the most talked-about contestants this season, both for his strong personality and controversial behaviour.

While his actions on the show have drawn sharp criticism online, the negativity has also taken a toll on his family. In a recent interview with SCREEN, Amaal’s father Daboo Malik opened up about facing harsh comments about his upbringing, dealing with online abuse, and the emotional strain that has come with his son’s time on the show.

Veteran music composer Daboo Malik has opened up about the emotional toll his family has faced after his son Amaal Mallik’s participation in Bigg Boss.

During the chat, Daboo said, “What is hurting most is the tirade of negativity that happens. I never thought of ourselves as stars. We are normal musicians. But suddenly, the explosion that has happened shows that the power of Bigg Boss is too big, so many things have happened. I have never been exposed to this kind of language that people have been using. At this age, I cannot hear abuses like these.”

He went on to add, “I have been targeted for my upbringing. As a father, I am being doubted, wrong things are being told to me, and I am listening to everything. You cannot stop anyone. When I saw the first few episodes, I was shocked because the narrative was going in a different direction. I was excited that Amaal would get popular, sing songs. But I think a psychological bubble gets created around you in the house, you start behaving in a particular way, and maybe you don’t have any control.”

Daboo Malik also reflected on Amaal Mallik’s decision to participate in Bigg Boss Season 19 and shared his thoughts on whether he sees his son winning the title.

Daboo said, “It’s scary. I should have done some research before he signed the show. We had a different idea in our minds; we wanted to achieve things by the book. We thought there would be an exposure, but what has happened is very outlandish. At this particular stage, I think Amaal has already done what he is supposed to do. He has shown whatever he had to. He has been called two-faced, slammed, so I don’t want anything. He has already won for me.”

Amaal Mallik’s bold and unfiltered demeanour on Bigg Boss 19has made him one of the season’s most talked-about contestants. Many viewers have criticised his behaviour as rude and aggressive, especially following the incident with Farrhana Bhatt, which drew widespread backlash.

Addressing his health, Daboo said, “Amaal is facing health issues, which is why we thought he would be out in 2-3 weeks; he wouldn’t continue. But he is still in the game. When he is getting so much hate and dislike, I don’t understand who is stopping him. They say Salman Khan and the channel are siding with him, but I don’t have an answer to that. People are criticizing him. I accept the hatred, but then why are you stopping him. Do something so that he is not kept on the show any longer.”

He further said, “There was a man who created a lover in a third dimension, and he is loving her there. That’s all I know. We have not met the person. However, it was my dream to see him develop a love story on the show.”

We saw him liking all the shipping reels with Tanya Mittal on the show, leading many to assume that the Malik family had also taken a liking to her. What’s your take on this?
