Music composer and singer Amaal Mallik withdrew a post that blamed his parents for the rift between him and his brother Armaan Mallik, who is one of Bollywood's top playback singers. He also urged fans and the media not to 'harass' his family over his revelations on his Instagram stories.

"Please don't sensationalise give negative headlines to my vulnerability.... It's a request. It's taken a lot for me to open up and it is a very tough time for me... I will always love my family but for now, from afar. Nothing changes between us brothers, Armaan and I are one and nothing can come between us. Love & Peace (sic)," he wrote.

On Thursday, the music composer-singer revealed that he is clinically depressed and that his self-worth has been diminished by actions of 'near and dear ones'. In a lengthy note, which was later deleted on Instagram as per PTI, the music director blamed his parents, composer Daboo Malik and singer Jyoti Malik, for creating a gulf between him and his younger brother, singer Armaan Malik.

Amaal made his debut as a music composer with the Salman Khan-starrer 'Jai Ho' and also made a name for himself through scoring music for films such as 'Khoobsurat', 'Roy', 'Kapoor and Sons', and 'M.S. Dhoni : The Untold Story'.  His brother Armaan has sung several songs composed by Amaal, including 'Naina', 'Buddhu Sa Mann' and 'Jab Tak'.
