Amaal Mallik recently shocked fans with a heartfelt social media post announcing his decision to distance himself from his family on a personal level, while continuing to collaborate with them professionally. In his emotional revelation, he shared his struggle with depression and blamed unresolved family conflicts for the growing rift between him and his brother, Armaan Malik. The announcement quickly went viral, sparking discussions across social media.
Now, his mother, Jyothi Malik, has responded to his statement. Speaking to Hindustan Times, she kept her response brief, stating, “I don’t think the media needs to be involved in all this. Whatever he has put is his choice. I am sorry. Thank you.”
In his post, Amaal opened up about feeling unappreciated despite his dedication to securing a stable life for his loved ones. He expressed how the strained family dynamic had created deep emotional scars, ultimately affecting his relationship with his brother.
“The journey has been incredible for both of us, but the actions of my parents have driven us apart as brothers. This has left a deep scar on my heart,” he wrote.
Revealing that continuous emotional struggles had led him into clinical depression, Amaal declared his decision to step away from personal ties for the sake of his well-being.
“From now on, my interactions with my family will be strictly professional. This isn’t a decision made in anger but a necessary step for my healing. I am committed to rebuilding my life with honesty and strength,” he concluded.
