Amaal Mallik opens up on why he broke ties with his family
Amaal Mallik, who had earlier revealed his battle with clinical depression, recently opened up about the emotional strain caused by his family dynamics. In a heartfelt chat with Siddharth Kannan, Amaal shared that despite winning awards and accolades, he constantly struggled to meet his family’s expectations. Amaal shared:
“When directors complained (to Dad) that I wasn’t taking up their projects, I’d explain I had said no for a reason. But my parents began feeling the pressure too. Dad would say, ‘Just meet the director, don’t say anything, just finish it.’ And I’d be like, ‘Why are they calling you when I haven’t done anything?’ That’s when things started going south, differences of opinion began building up.”
