Amaal Mallik Opens Up: “People Have Often Misunderstood Me” — Mistaken for Bollywood Heartthrobs
In a candid revelation that’s both amusing and telling, celebrated music composer and singer Amaal Mallik has shared how fans frequently mistake him for Bollywood stars like Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh, Aditya Roy Kapur — and even his own brother, Armaan Malik. The confession came ahead of his entry into the reality show Bigg Boss 19, where he hopes to finally connect his face with the music millions have loved for over a decade.
Decade of Music, But Still a Mystery Face
Amaal Mallik, known for chartbusters in films like Jai Ho, Kapoor & Sons, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, and Kabir Singh, has long been a household name in Bollywood music. Yet, despite his success, he feels his identity remains elusive to many.
“I want the people who have loved my music for the past 10 years to know the person behind it. I want my face to be associated with my music and the body of work I’ve created,” Amaal said before entering the Bigg Boss house.
Mistaken Identity: A Bollywood Lookalike?
In a humorous twist, Amaal shared how his appearance often leads to confusion:
- “Whenever I wear a beanie, people mistake me for Aditya Roy Kapur.”
- “If I grow my beard, they think I’m Arjun Kapoor.”
- “When I lose weight, some confuse me with Vicky Kaushal.”
- “If I grow my hair, they assume I’m Ranveer Singh.”
The singer laughed off the mix-ups but admitted it reflects a deeper issue — the lack of public recognition for his face, despite his musical fame.
Misunderstood in the Industry
Beyond physical resemblance, Amaal also spoke about being misunderstood in the industry. Known for speaking his mind, he said:
“It’s been almost 10 years for me in the industry, and I feel people have often misunderstood me when I’ve spoken about the industry’s reality. I’m not afraid of losing work. If I don’t feel the right vibe, I take a backseat. When producers fire me, I go on a holiday. I don’t take these things to heart”.
Bigg Boss: A Platform for Reinvention
Joining Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Salman Khan, marks a new chapter for Amaal. He sees the show as a chance to let audiences see the real him — not just the melodies, but the man behind them.
“I want them to know me, my likes and dislikes, my habits, personality, and even my vibe,” he said, hoping to end the confusion once and for all.
Final Notes
Amaal Mallik’s journey is a reminder that fame in one domain doesn’t always translate to recognition in another. As he steps into the spotlight of reality TV, fans may finally get to know the face — and the soul — behind the music.
