Amaal Mallik, who has composed several hit songs and gained recognition in Bollywood, disclosed the intense hardships his family endured, including a debt of Rs 4 crores that threatened to take away their home and car. Despite being from a musical family, Mallik recounted how he had to gate-crash industry parties and stand outside music label offices to get his break.

One notable incident was his attempt to attend a party hosted by Ekta Kapoor, which he managed to do with the help of an associate. Reflecting on that experience, Mallik said, “I attended Ekta Kapoor’s party once. With great difficulty, I got myself invited through a friend who was an AD. Despite being from the industry, it was not easy to meet people. At the party, I met a senior writer, who was in his zone and grabbed my t-shirt. He asked me, ‘What are you doing here?’ I told him that one of my friends invited me. He then said, ‘Not now, but a year later, when you will be doing your biggest song, I’ll be around.’ He pushed me, and I still remember falling in slow motion. Maybe I heard what I needed to, so I left from there.”

Mallik further explained that he used to stand outside companies like T-Series daily, hoping for a break, highlighting the grit and persistence required for newcomers to make it in the competitive industry. His story is a testament to perseverance amidst adversity, illustrating that success often involves overcoming significant obstacles.

Currently, Amaal Mallik is also a contestant on Bigg Boss 19, where he continues to share his journey with viewers, including struggles with debts and the importance of resilience.
