Singer and composer Amaal Mallik shocked fans with a deeply personal revelation on social media, announcing that he has chosen to sever ties with his parents due to emotional distress. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Amaal shared that he has been battling clinical depression and accused his parents of diminishing his self-worth over the years.
Amaal’s Emotional Note
Opening up about his struggles, Amaal wrote, “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. I have spent my blood, sweat & tears to create each of the 126 melodies that have released over the last decade.”
He further alleged that his parents had “left no opportunity” to disturb his well-being and belittle his friendships, relationships, and self-confidence. Despite enduring these hardships, he said he kept moving forward. However, he admitted that he is now emotionally drained, financially affected, and suffering from clinical depression.
Decision to Move Forward
Amaal made it clear that his decision to cut ties with his parents was not made out of anger but as a necessary step towards healing. He stated, “From now on, my interactions with my family will be strictly professional. 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.”

Many users expressed their sadness over his struggles, with one writing, “Feeling betrayed by your own family is the worst ever… You can never completely distance yourself from them, no matter how toxic and abusive it gets.”
