Amaal Mallik Opens Up About Mental Health Battle, Seeks Privacy

Music composer Amaal Mallik, best known for hit songs such as ‘Kar Gayi Chull’ and ‘Jab Tak,’ has always been candid about his feelings. But this time, he is asking for something different from the public—privacy.

At 29, Amaal made news recently after sharing that he has been living with clinical depression and complicated family issues. In an emotional Instagram post, which has since been removed, he talked openly about how these issues have affected his mental health.

The artist, who is known for his honesty and dedication, opened up that years of giving everything to his music and family have taken a toll on his emotional well-being. “I have come to a place where I can no longer remain quiet about the suffering I’ve been through,” Amaal wrote in the post. His statement touched many of his fans, who commended him for opening up about mental health issues, particularly in the cutthroat entertainment business.

While Amaal has frequently posted snippets from his life and career to fans, this news was a rare, vulnerable moment. The post seemed to allude to a greater emotional burnout that goes beyond stress at work, into personal relationships and expectations.

After the post was taken down, fans and peers alike have rallied around him, urging the composer to take care of himself. For the time being, Amaal’s message is simple: space and time to recover. As he steps back from the spotlight, many are waiting for his return, hoping for his health and future works.
