Love In Vietnam Makers Drop Amaal And Armaan Malik's First Song After Family Rift
Armaan Malik celebrates his birthday with the release of "Bade Din Huye" from Love in Vietnam, his first collaboration with brother Amaal after reports of alleged rift. Armaan Malik is celebrating his birthday today, and on this special day, the singer gave his fans an amazing surprise with the makers dropping a mesmerising love ballad titled Bade Din Huye from Love in Vietnam, sung by the singer and starring Shantanu Maheshwari and Avneet Kaur in pivotal roles. This song became even more special as it marks Armaan's first collaboration with brother Amaal after he announced breaking ties with the family. The romantic saga is the first-ever India-Vietnamese collaboration in Hindi cinema and stars the sensational beauty from Southeast Asia — Kha Ngan. The song marvellously captivates the essence and innocence of true love. Shot across the picturesque locations of Vietnam, this beautiful song, written by Rashmi Virag, is an absolutely unmissable piece of melody. Talking about the track, Armaan Malik said, 'Bade Din Huye is such a soothing track that has been beautifully composed by my brother Amaal. The song is about the innocent, uncomplicated love that binds two individuals. This song is very special for me, as after a long time I had the opportunity to collaborate with my brother for this melodious masterpiece." Acclaimed composer Amaal Malik shared, 'Romance is a very beautiful feeling, and it had to be brought right in this track. Armaan and I had not collaborated for long, and we really wanted to bring something that highlights true love in the most melodious way — and here it is." Bade Din Huye is sung by Armaan Malik, composed by Amaal Malik, and produced by DRJ Records. Earlier, in an interview with The Hindustan Times, the singer shared that nothing has changed between him and Amaal. 'Our bond is and will always be the same. I know my relationship with my brother, and we are pretty tight. I am the kind of person who doesn't care about what people think or what social media users think. All I care about is what my brother and I think, and we are pretty sorted. Nothing can ever change between us," he said, shutting down rumours of any strain. The brothers have had a successful history of musical collaborations. Their past projects include popular tracks like Buddhu Sa Mann, Ghar Se Nikalte Hi, Jaan Hai Meri, among others.

‘Called me and said she is getting married': Amaal Mallik says he refused to elope with ex after her parents rejected him, father Daboo responds; expert on validation in love
Singer-composer Amaal Mallik recently opened up about a deeply personal chapter of his life, one that involved heartbreak, and a difficult choice between love and self-respect. Speaking with Siddharth Kannan, the 33-year-old recalled his relationship that lasted from 2014 to 2019, and how it came to an end when his partner's family disapproved of his religion and his career in the film industry. 'We were in a relationship from 2014 to 2019. But her parents were against my religion and career. They didn't want to associate their daughter with anyone from this industry,' he said. The breakup, Amaal said, happened just before a performance, when he received a life-altering phone call. 'I was about to perform a gig when she called me and said she is getting married, but she would elope if I came to her. But, I guess the SRK from DDLJ in me woke up and said, 'No, if your parents can't accept my religion and respect my career, then I wish you the best.'' After this went viral online, his father Daboo Malik responded with a moving comment, 'Son … remember your father is always there… I know your pain and I love you to eternity… There can be none like you…' Earlier this year, Amaal made headlines after announcing that he was clinically depressed and had decided to cut off personal ties with his family, including his parents and brother, singer Armaan Malik, through a post on Instagram. Sonal Khangarot, a licensed rehabilitation counsellor and psychotherapist, tells 'As a psychologist, I see this commonly: individuals deeply in love yet emotionally torn when their bond clashes with familial or societal expectations. The pressure to conform can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, guilt, and even identity confusion. When love is seen as rebellion, individuals may feel forced to choose between their emotional truth and the approval of those they were raised to respect.' In many cases, she adds, the relationship doesn't survive — not due to lack of love, but due to cultural roadblocks. The emotional toll is profound: grief, isolation, and unresolved anger. Navigating this requires compassion, clarity, and often, therapeutic support. In India, where collectivist values dominate, the cost of defying tradition can be heavy, yet denying personal authenticity comes with its lasting psychological consequences. Khangarot says, 'I often see how vital belongingness and interpersonal validation are to emotional well-being. In collectivist cultures like India, acceptance by a partner's family isn't just symbolic — it affirms one's worth and strengthens relational security. Choosing not to elope, as Amaal Mallik did, reflects a desire for relational legitimacy — being seen, respected, and integrated into the partner's social world. Rejection from a partner's family can trigger feelings of inadequacy, shame, and attachment insecurity. On the other hand, familial approval provides a sense of social anchoring, reinforcing the relationship's stability and the individual's identity within a shared cultural framework.'

Amaal Mallik issues a clarification over his recent statements Amaal said that he has a secular mindset and goes wherever he finds peace. "For every one coming up with lovely articles & headlines about how I have spoken against a community you all are completely wrong (unamused face emoji). I born to a Muslim father & a Hindu mother. It's a secular mindset that I go wherever I find peace, whether it's a mosque a mandir or a church," he tweeted. Amaal talks about being an Indian first He also said that all of us are Indians first. "I don't think some people understand that we are all Indians first before we wear any religious or spiritual badge…To all my fellow Indians that felt bad about certain comments I'm sorry for that, but I come from a simple understanding of life. Just remember - 'Ramzan' mein RAM and 'Diwali' mein ALI hai," Amaal wrote. Amaal said he is facing criticism Amaal said that he is facing "a lot of mudslinging". "So don't let the news blindside you and overlook my actual conversation and sentiments. I am being subjected to a lot of mudslinging and by using my statements from a podcast, idiots on the internet want to create communal disharmony. Don't fall for it (halo face emoji). Love to all (red heart emoji)," concluded his post. What Amaal had said recently Recently, speaking with Siddharth Kannan, Amaal had said that when he was working on Kabir Singh, it was a tough phase of his life.

He added that she got married to another person. He had said, 'It was such a pure and beautiful relationship. We both knew maybe it will never culminate into anything because there were lot of rigid, religious and understanding factors from the girl's side and her parents. And someone in Bollywood, musician, they just didn't want to have that for their kid." "There was this gig I was about to perform, when she called me and said, 'I'm just going to get married, but you come through now I'll not get married'," he had added. However, he refused, saying that her parents don't respect or support his career and family.

‘Mummy papa ke saath zyaada': Amaal Mallik reflects on breaking ties with family, says comparisons with brother Armaan affected their mental health; how comparisons affect bonds
Singer-composer Amaal Mallik recently reflected on his decision to distance himself from his family and shared how comparisons with his younger brother Armaan affected both of their mental health. During the interview, he also spoke about how the pressure was more from his mother's side until the now-deleted post made the family realise what he was dealing with. 'There was a difference of opinion. Meri mom ko yeh understanding bilkul hi nahi aarahi thi…(understanding that I was struggling) because she comes from this lawyer, corporate understanding background that I seemed very disorganised, indisciplined, raw, crazy, living a rebellious artist life. She wanted me to get some order in life, to which I said, everything happens on time. She would compare my timeline to Armaan's. All these things affected. No two people's paths are the same. We are 100 per cent chalk and cheese different. Expectations were so much,' Amaal, 35. During the interview, Amaal admitted that he had fulfilled one set of expectations by 'winning awards and accolades which mattered to them a lot, too.' 'Yet after doing everything, I started feeling like I was not getting peace. Everybody wants me to answer questions. I decided to make the relationship professional to avoid any issues. Don't screw with my head,' Amaal added, reflecting on his March 2025 Instagram post. He also noted that comparisons affected his equation with his brother, Armaan, 29, yet he had no issues with him. 'I had no issues with Armaan. Mummy papa ke saath zyaada (There were more issues with mom and dad). There was more distance between us brothers because of these comparisons. Dad is a little chill. Mom wants everything. Sometimes, her heart is right about it. 'Why you are charging so less for a show…see Armaan is getting this price for a show'…for her, both her sons should get the same amount of money, adulation, stardom…that doesn't transpire like that…mera tareeka, my brashness, my stands and my decisions, ability to say extreme no…Armaan is quite 70 per cent diplomatic…30 per cent kabhi kabhi woh bhi baat bol deta hai jo dil mein hai (30 per cent, he too ends up speaking his heart)…I am very different, so it's taken time for me and even my parents to understand me and where I am.' The Kabir Singh singer recollected what led to the social media post. 'When I wrote that post, mom and dad, too, realised that bahut durr ho jaa rahi hai cheezein (everything is growing distant)…and Amaal is really going through a lot of things…that he didn't call us and tell us anything about it…and went out ahead in the world and said this.' In the interview with Siddharth Kannan, Amaal expressed how he was accused of throwing his family under the bus by his declaration on social media. 'A lot of people felt that I put my family under the bus, but no one can understand what I felt…I don't want to explain to them…But I want to say that I wanted my family and everyone in the world to just back off. Let me just relax, make music, and I am not answerable. Armaan is a really good boy…he has never made me feel small or taken his stardom for granted…he has taught me how to enjoy my life and at times, he has been like the elder brother for me. There can't be a darling like him.' Taking a leaf out of his confession, let's understand how comparisons affect relationships. Delnna Rrajesh, psychotherapist, energy healer, and life coach, said that in so many families, especially in South Asian cultures, sibling comparison is normalised. 'Parents often say things like 'Why can't you be more like your brother?' or 'Look at how well your sister is doing'. At first glance, it seems harmless. Motivational, even. But what it really communicates is that you are only worthy when you're like someone else. This subtle conditioning chips away at a person's self-worth over time. You begin to associate love with performance. Attention to perfection. Approval with sameness. And when you can't match up, the guilt turns inward. The sibling relationship, once full of warmth and trust, slowly becomes strained. Not because of personal conflict, but because of the constant emotional measurement,' shared Delnna. She also said that in her therapy sessions, she often sees adults walking in with unspoken grief. 'Not because they don't love their siblings, but because they feel they were never loved in the same way. That invisible gap, created by years of comparison, begins to affect identity, mental health, and even career choices. Some internalise the pressure and push themselves to burn out. Others retreat and detach – feeling never enough, no matter what they do,' said Delnna. Comparison also damages the one being praised. 'When one sibling is constantly held as the standard, they too feel isolated. Burdened by the pressure always to succeed. To always be 'the better one.' And in the process, even their relationship with the other sibling becomes strained with guilt and expectation,' said Delnna. It is okay to create space – even from family – if it helps you reclaim that truth. If you're struggling with comparison-based wounds, here are some powerful ways to begin healing: Journal your truth: Write down moments when you felt unseen or compared. Let it out. Honesty is the beginning of release. Therapeutic boundary-setting: It's okay to emotionally detach from specific family patterns while still maintaining love and respect. Re-parent your inner child: Speak to yourself the way you wish your parents had. Offer comfort, not criticism. Have courageous conversations: If the timing feels right, express how comparison affected you – not to blame, but to be understood. Celebrate differences with your sibling: Build a new dynamic based on support, not silent competition. Choose environments that see you: Surround yourself with people who acknowledge your uniqueness and strengths. And if you are a parent reading this, know this: your child doesn't want you to be perfect. They just want to feel seen for who they are, not for how they measure up to someone else, shared Delnna.

Amaal Mallik says his mother saw poverty after father Daboo Malik's failed career: ‘She was down to last ₹500'
Music composer Amaal Mallik grabbed headlines when he broke ties with his family and announced it on social media. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Amaal talked about his parents' financial condition. He recalled how his father Daboo Malik's failure in the music industry led him to be a composer. Amaal Mallik talks about his parents facing poverty. Amaal Mallik on parents' financial struggle Amaal recalled how her mother navigated the financial struggles and said, "My mother saw a lot of bad times and poverty because nothing worked out for my dad in the industry. She would guide us to do music, but never as a profession. She has seen the worst; she was down to the last ₹500. Mere liye aisa tha ki main ek 10 saal ka baccha yeh witness kar raha hun ki ek couple crumble ho raha hai. Inki jagah nahi bann rahi industry (For me, it was like being a 10-year-old child witnessing a couple fall apart. They weren't able to find their place in the industry), and those things added fuel to the fire that I really want to be a music composer just for my father. Otherwise, I wanted to be a cricketer." Amaal revealed that his mother often considered him 'foolish' for his approach to spending on music. He admitted to consistently exceeding budgets for his songs—if he received ₹20 lakh, he would end up spending ₹25 lakh; for a ₹30 lakh budget, he would push it to ₹35 lakh, often adding ₹5 lakh from his own pocket. According to Amaal, his mother didn't understand the reasoning behind such decisions and was uncomfortable with the fact that he wouldn't save money. He revealed that though his father knows everything about his money spending, he often tend to hide his dinner bills from his mother if they exceed a certain limit. Amaal further claimed that a lot of big producers won't clear almost 40 per cent of his payment, adding, 'I am owed around ₹25 lakh in total, but it doesn't matter because God has been kind, and you can make this in one night and one performance.' About Amaal Mallik Amaal made his debut as a music composer with Salman Khan's film Jai Ho. He went on to compose music in films like Khoobsurat, Baaghi, Golmaal Again, Kabir Singh and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, among others.
