Amaal Mallik snaps at fan wars, wants to cancel song video with Farrhana Bhatt

Music composer Amaal Mallik has expressed his distress over hostility among fan groups after announcing a song with his Bigg Boss 19 co-contestant Farrhana Bhatt. The backlash, which intensified on social media, has left Mallik reconsidering the release of his latest song video.

He addressed the situation in a note on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the negativity has significantly impacted him and the project.

AMAAL ON FAN WARS

In an X post, Amaal wrote, "If my family here on X feel I have hurt them, know that it was never my intention, but it’s hard to figure out who is being true here or anywhere in the world nowadays IYKYK! In life, you can’t stand up for any one and every one, but I still try every single time to be there for my friends and people (sic)."

He commented on the conduct of different fan clubs, saying, "I know which fan clubs se kaun kya kar raha (who is doing what), and I know it’s been dirty all around on X. If I’ve been a certain way in the past, how you saw me begin in the show, know that did my best and moved forward with grace and apologised to all (sic)."

IMPACT OF BIGG BOSS 19

Amaal noted that some fans are still preoccupied with the events from Bigg Boss 19. "Many people are still crying about Bigg Boss losses and who didn’t apologise to who. They are still stuck in the reel world instead of the real one. I should’ve chosen to ignore many things and maybe people too in the house and here as well but main bhi toh insaan hoon, aur kabhi kabhi nahi ho paati baatein ignore (But I am also a human, and sometimes I can’t ignore some things) (sic)," he continued.

RESPONDING TO ONLINE DRAMA

He further addressed his own fan base, commenting, "I say something and now I see my own fandom coming to tell me ke yeh kyu, woh kyu (why this, why that). Some even message and tag and say we are leaving the fandom and do some next-level drama. Guys we both can have opinions and can agree to disagree!!! I’m saying it again - if you’re my fan, don’t indulge in mudslinging (sic)."

Mallik shared, "I haven’t slept properly for almost 10 days to be able to bring you this song and today I’ve gotten sick before my concert, it’s all too much to say the least. If I’ve hurt you all with my words, I am really sorry. It was never my intention (sic)."

STRUGGLES WITH NEGATIVITY

Despite the challenges, he revealed, "But know I’m making a song that will change so many things for me as an artist and lives of every one involved. A lot is riding on this one, and even though I am prepared for the hate and negativity. It has turned out to be so beautiful that I wanted positivity all around to enjoy a release after long." However, he admitted, "But I can’t seem to see it, and I feel like cancelling the song video at this point, just being honest (sic)."

CALL FOR END TO TOXICITY

Mallik closed his statement by saying, "I speak fearlessly without caring. What hits my phone and reaches my eyes is what I will speak about. I can’t keep a patrolling session on Twitter every day. So stop expecting me to stand up for each and every one, that’s their job, not mine. Haters can now go cry, come to my pages, my accounts and go wild, make headlines. I pray we all get the love we deserve. Peace out (sic)."

He also addressed a fan's misquotation involving his father, urging, "All our fans should be able to put this behind us, and wish us well, our debut song is on the way, and this is the way you welcome us? This is how you treat a girl? This is not Bigg Boss, this is a realer world. She is my friend, my co-star, and we are doing our best to get you some magic. Watch your words and tell all your friends here as well," I’m sick of this BB bulls**t negativity.(sic)"

Throughout Bigg Boss 19, Amaal and Farrhana shared a tense equation and were regularly seen clashing inside the house. The show came to an end on December 7, with Gaurav Khanna taking home the title after defeating Farrhana.
