Singer Amaal Mallik reveals fans mistake him for Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh, Aditya Roy Kapur: ‘People have often misunderstood me’

Amaal Mallik is stepping out of the studio and into the spotlight in a way we have never seen before. The composer and singer behind hits like Jai Ho, Kapoor & Sons, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and Kabir Singh has joined Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19, and he is on a mission to show the world the person behind the music.

Before entering the Bigg Boss house, Amaal told SCREEN, “I was very excited to say yes to this show. 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.”

He is refreshingly unbothered by the usual ups and downs. “I am not affected by losing out on work. Whenever I am removed from films or I don’t feel the right vibe, I take a backseat. When 2–3 producers fire me from big films, I happily go on a holiday, and I don’t take these things to heart.”

Amaal’s goal is simple: for fans to connect his face with his music. “I want the people who have loved my music for the past 10 years to know the person behind it. People should recognise that it’s Amaal Mallik, not Armaan Mallik or Aditya Roy Kapur.”

He also poked fun at the constant mix-ups with other stars. “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, and if I grow my hair, they assume I’m Ranveer Singh. There’s a lot of confusion!”

With Bigg Boss 19, Amaal is opening a new chapter. He hopes this will allow fans to see beyond the music, finally recognising the real person who has been behind some of the most beloved songs of the past decade.
