Amaal Mallik's Shocking BB19 Confessions: Religious Breakup, Depression; "Roke Na Ruke Naina" Was Born From This Pain

You know Amaal Mallik, right? The brilliant musician behind so many of your favorite songs? Well, he just opened up on Bigg Boss 19, and what he shared will absolutely stop you in your tracks. This isn’t just about house drama or petty fights. This is about real, raw struggles that cut deep, revealing a side of Amaal you never knew existed.

He confessed to battling clinical depression. Think about that for a second. The immense pressure, the constant scrutiny, and all while dealing with such a profound internal fight. He even revealed that at one point, intense emotional and financial stress forced him to cut ties with his own family. Can you imagine that kind of pain, the feeling of being so overwhelmed you feel you have no other choice? It’s a lot to process, isn’t it?

But here’s another layer to his story, one that connects directly to his music. His massive 2017 hit, “Roke Na Ruke Naina” from the film Badrinath Ki Dulhania? That soulful, emotional track wasn’t just a composition; it was a diary entry. Amaal shared that this song was directly inspired by a heartbreaking personal breakup. And the reason for that split? Religious differences that tore them apart.

Look, his ex-girlfriend’s family simply couldn’t accept their relationship because of their differing religions. It wasn’t just tough on him; it significantly affected her health too. That kind of societal pressure, it’s immense. Then, in 2020, during what he describes as an incredibly “tough year” – a period filled with depression and family issues – his ex even called him. Before her wedding, she asked him to attend. But he chose not to, out of a deep respect for his own parents. That’s a decision that must have weighed heavily on his heart, don’t you think?

On the “Weekend Ka Vaar” segment, specifically between October 5-7, 2025, host Salman Khan stepped in. He actually defended Amaal, talking openly about his battle with depression. Salman made it clear, saying that those who manage to overcome such struggles are, in fact, the strongest among us. It was a powerful moment, showing support for vulnerability in a place often devoid of it.

But honestly, it hasn’t been all sympathy for Amaal in the house. You’ve probably seen some of the online buzz, right? There’s that viral video of him spitting in the kitchen sink, and netizens are not holding back. He’s faced a lot of backlash for certain actions, creating a real contrast with the vulnerable side he’s shown. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? How do we balance personal struggles with public behavior inside a high-pressure environment like Bigg Boss?

So, now you know the full scope of Amaal Mallik’s journey. His music, his heartbreaks, his battles. Does knowing all this change your perception of him on Bigg Boss 19? What do you make of his journey, both inside and outside the house? We want to hear what you think in the comments below!
