‘I
will
always
love
my
family
but
for
now,
from
afar.’

Amaal
Mallik,
best
known
for
composing
tracks
like
Kar
Gayi
Chull
and
Jab
Tak,
left
everyone
surprised
with
his
now-deleted
Instagram
post,
where
he
opened
up
about
his
battle
with
clinical
depression
and
his
soured
relationship
with
his
family.
In
his
post,
Amaal,
who
is
composer
Daboo
Malik’s
elder
son
and
Anu
Malik’s
nephew,
also
blamed
his
parents
for
the
growing
distance
between
him
and
brother,
the
musician
Armaan
Malik.
‘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,’
he
wrote.
‘Cancelled
every
dream
of
mine
to
only
find
myself
to
be
spoke
down
to
and
question
what
I’ve
ever
done.
I
have
spent
my
blood,
sweat
&
tears
to
create
each
of
the
126
melodies
that
have
released
over
the
last
decade.
‘I
made
every
dream
on
earth
within
an
arm’s
reach
for
them,
so
that
they
can
stand
tall
in
front
of
the
world
and
keep
their
head
held
high.
I
along
with
my
brother’s
vocal
prowess
have
changed
the
narrative
of
being
called
XYZ’s
nephew
or
son
to
whoever
we
are
today!
‘The
journey
has
been
terrific
for
the
both
of
us
but
the
actions
of
my
parents
have
been
the
reason
we
as
brothers
have
gone
too
far
from
one
another
and
all
of
this
has
made
me
step
in
for
myself
as
it
has
left
a
very
deep
scar
left
across
my
heart.
‘Through
the
last
many
years
they
have
left
no
opportunity
to
disturb
my
well
being
&
belittle
all
my
friendships,
my
relationships,
my
mindset,
my
self
confidence.
But
I
just
kept
marching
on
because
I
know
I
can
and
I
believe
I’m
unshakable.
‘Everything
that
we
stand
on
today
has
come
from
one
mind,
mine
and
from
the
blessings
of
the
Almighty.
But
today
I
stand
at
a
point
where
I
have
been
robbed
of
my
peace,
drained
emotionally
and
maybe
financially
too
but
that’s
the
least
of
my
concerns.
What
really
matters
is
that
I
am
clinically
depressed
because
of
these
happenings.
‘Yes
I
have
only
myself
to
blame
for
my
actions
but
my
self
worth
has
been
diminished
countless
times
by
actions
of
near
and
dear
ones
that
stole
pieces
of
my
soul.
‘Today,
with
a
heavy
heart,
I
announce
that
I
am
stepping
away
from
these
personal
ties.
From
now
on,
my
interactions
with
my
family
will
be
strictly
professional.
This
isn’t
a
decision
made
in
anger,
but
one
born
from
the
necessity
to
heal
and
reclaim
my
life.
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.’

After
deleting
this
post,
Amaal
released
another
statement,
this
time
on
his
Instagram
Story,
writing,
‘Thank
you
for
the
love
and
support.
It
truly
means
a
lot,
but
I
would
request
the
media
portals
to
not
harass
my
family.
Please
don’t
sensationalise
and
give
negative
headlines
to
my
vulnerability.
It’s
a
request.
‘It’s
taken
a
lot
for
me
to
open
up
and
it
is
a
very
tough
time
for
me.
I
will
always
love
my
family
but
for
now,
from
afar.
‘Nothing
changes
between
us
brothers,
Armaan
and
I
are
one
and
nothing
can
come
between
us.’
Amaal
made
his
debut
as
a
composer
in
2014
with
Salman
Khan’s
Jai
Ho.
