From his relationship details to talking about sleep apnea; Bigg Boss 19 contestant Amaal Mallik’s major revelations

Music composer and singer Amaal Mallik, currently seen as a contestant on Bigg Boss 19, has been making headlines not just for his presence in the house but also for his candid confessions. From opening up about his past relationships, struggles with health, and mental well-being to talking about his school crush and reason for doing the show, Amaal has shared deeply personal insights that reflect both his vulnerabilities and his resilience.

2/7

On His Break-Up

Amaal revealed a deeply emotional story about his past breakup, recalling how his ex-girlfriend once pleaded with him to stop her wedding. “Whenever I’m asked to compose a heartbreak song, I mentally take myself back to seven years ago,” he shared. Despite her insistence, Amaal chose to respect his parents’ wishes and stayed away. Later, he learned that she remained unhappy in her marriage. “We had known each other since we were kids. It was sweet, but it didn’t last,” he admitted.

3/7

Suffering From Sleep Apnea

In the Bigg Boss house, viewers saw Amaal sleeping with a CPAP machine, revealing his struggle with sleep apnea. He explained, “I’ve a sleeping disorder so people might have to deal with my snoring problems.” Linking it to the early fame he experienced, Amaal said, “I found success a bit too early, at 24. Now I’ve mellowed down with age. This show is my chance to connect with fans who know my music, but not the person behind it.”

4/7

His School Crush on Shraddha Kapoor

Amaal candidly confessed that actress Shraddha Kapoor was his school crush. “School main bhi… Dentures pehen ke aati thi, meri senior thi, meri school ki crush thi,” he laughed. He praised her for being genuine, saying, “Poore internet pe sabse asli following uss ladki ki hai bina kuch kiye.” He even recreated one of her Instagram dance reels during the episode, recalling how her career took a turn with Aashiqui 2. “Shraddha’s entry scene in Stree 2 gave me goosebumps. She has grown into one of the industry’s finest,” he added.

5/7

His Relationship Details

Amaal used the reality show platform to send a loving message to his partner waiting outside. “There is something I want to tell my special person, who is scared that I might mess up things on Bigg Boss 19. That’s not going to happen,” he assured. He reaffirmed his commitment, adding, “I have carried your respect with me inside this house. Once the show ends, we will sit down, have a heartfelt conversation, and truly understand each other.” His message highlighted both his maturity and sincerity toward the relationship.

6/7

His Reason to Do Bigg Boss 19

For Amaal, joining Bigg Boss 19 was about reconnecting with fans on a personal level. “I think I found success too early, at 24. Over the years, I’ve slowed down, mellowed, and matured. This show is a chance for people to meet the real Amaal, not the one whose tweets made headlines. That Amaal exists too, but I want to show why I am the way I am,” he explained, making his journey in the house a personal and professional reset.

7/7

His Struggle with Mental Health and Family Ties

Amaal has been candid about his battle with clinical depression, religious differences that ended a relationship, and strained ties with his father. Coming from a family of musicians, including father Daboo Malik and uncle Anu Malik, Amaal admitted these personal struggles shaped his outlook. Host Salman Khan supported him on the premiere, saying, “Everything is curable now, and he will also get well.” By sharing these challenges, Amaal shed light on mental health awareness, emphasizing that vulnerability can coexist with strength.
