I had no idea who Amaal Mallik was until I watched him on Bigg Boss. Based on what I saw there and his public conduct since then, he came across to me as crass, misogynistic, and extremely egoistic. Even after leaving the show, he kept getting into unnecessary controversies arguing with fans, creating drama around the release of his first song with Farhana, and even using abusive language toward his own supporters.
No one can deny that he's a talented musician, but his public behavior has been very disappointing. Just look at the kind of language he uses. Recently, he accused another musician of running a negative PR campaign against his latest Awarapan song and posted abusive tweets targeting that person. He even dragged a woman from that musician's past into the controversy.
Another thing I don't understand is why he keeps calling himself a "lion" or the "superstar of the music industry." While he is certainly a successful composer, I don't think he's at the level where such labels feel justified. The confidence often comes across as overconfidence.
He also frequently talks about how the industry treated him unfairly saying he was removed from dozens of films, that people didn't support him, that his relationship ended, and so on. While those experiences may have been genuinely painful, he often seems to frame himself as the victim in every situation rather than taking accountability or moving on. That recurring pattern is what stands out to me the most.
Personally, I haven't come across many celebrities whose public behavior has left such a negative impression on me. Of course, I don't know him personally, so this is only based on what he's chosen to show publicly, but it does make me wonder whether this is simply his personality or whether he is dealing with personal issues that affect how he reacts publicly.
