Amaal Mallik addresses his post about cutting ties with his family, says "it's a collection of emotions over years"

Amaal Mallik talks about his viral post

Singer Amaal Mallik recently made headlines after he announced that he will be cutting all his ties with his family. He cited his parents for the distance between himself and his brother, Armaan Malik.

However, Amaal has recently addressed his viral post and claimed that it hurt his parents. Despite the drama, the post notably brought the family closer.

In a recent interview with The Times of India, Amaal reflected on the aftermath of his post and said, “My parents also understood it. It actually brought us closer as a family. They were obviously a little hurt, but they understood that our son is going through so much and we don't get time to understand that sentiment.”

The singer added, “But it's been much more precious and beautiful after that. I know there have been critics, saying that I have thrown your family under a bus and all, but I think my family got closer after that. We're stronger and happier about these discussions.”

Amaal admitted that he had been keeping those feelings to himself for the last few years. He shared, “It was not impulsive. It may have happened in an impulse, but it's a collection of emotions over years. Everyone's not talking to just get some limelight or some front page.”

The singer continued, “There are things which we feel. But the kind of love and the kind of support that I got from within my family, from my fans, and from people around me, made me feel that at least I am important enough to not give up on myself. That is what that post did for me. I was somewhere beginning to give up on myself. I don't want to do that."

For the unversed, Amaal Mallik shared an Instagram post in March revealing that he had cut ties with his family. He revealed that his parents’ behaviour made him and his siblings grow actively apart from each other. He also shared that he had been diagnosed with clinical depression. However, Amaal later removed the post and asked media outlets to refrain from harassing his family.
