Amaal Mallik Bigg Boss 19: Singer and composer Amaal Mallik made a surprising entry into Bigg Boss 19 during the show’s premiere on Sunday, August 24, 2025. Amaal’s brother Armaan Malik expressed his full support for him on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. He encouraged his brother to enjoy the experience. Armaan wrote, “Jeet ke aana Sher Khan, break a leg! Just not literally.” When asked about his feelings on Amaal joining the show, he said, “Obviously, I was never in favour of it, but now who can explain anything to Amaal bhai sahab. Let him treat it like boarding school, have some fun, and come back soon. We have a lot of songs pending.”
During the premiere, Salman Khan said he was surprised Amaal had agreed to join Bigg Boss 19. “Because your songs are doing well, your shows are doing well,” he said.
Amaal thanked Salman for giving him a start in the industry. He said, “Today, I’m about to do something different — and once again, you’re part of it. You’re lucky for me.” He added that he has been misunderstood at times. “I found success a bit too early. I have mellowed down with age. I want this show to connect with people who have shown me love for the past 10 years. They know the music, but maybe not the person behind it. I want them to meet the real Amaal,” he said.
