Mumbai: Music composer Amaal Mallik was recently in the news after announcing that he has severed ties with his family.
Now, his father Daboo Malik has revealed that Amaal, a contestant in Salman Khan-hosted ‘Bigg Boss 19’, wants to be a star.
“Amaal, with his great music and hard work, was not becoming the face. From the same family, suddenly one becomes a star like Armaan. And it always happens because a singer becomes more popular than a composer,” music director Daboo was quoted as saying by NDTV.
“I think the feeling of not having an identity was a setback. In his heart, Amaal wants to be a star. And I hope this journey on a national platform will fulfill his dreams,” he added.
Calling the reality show a life-changing opportunity, Daboo said, “Bigg Boss will give him that popularity, the face value, and the identity that ‘Here he is—the man who created the music.’”
While addressing the controversy on Amaal severing ties with family, Daboo acknowledged, “It was over a period of time — many things over time affected him. At a spark of a moment, he felt like, ‘I need to tell the world what I am going through.’ So, he posted on social media that he didn’t want to do anything with the family, that we were not understanding him. It was a cumulative effect of so many things that transpired in his life.”
