Amaal Mallik Recalls Girlfriend Breaking Up Due To His Religious ‘Muslim’ Identity

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Amaal said, “This is the first time when I am talking about my relationship in the open. But, I think now it’s time.” He explained that everything coincided with the period when he was working on Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Hindi film debut, Kabir Singh. “Working on Kabir Singh was the biggest heartbreak for me. It was because I was going through a very difficult phase emotionally. The girl I was in a relationship with at that point in time married someone else.”

He elaborated on the tragic end of his relationship, saying, “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. 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.’”

Amaal Mallik Admits He’s A Believer Of Karma

“That entire incident broke me,” he shared, adding, “People have this understanding that I am a Muslim. But, the truth is that I have a Muslim father. Whereas my mom is a Saraswat Brahmin Hindu. I go to Mt Mary in Bandra when feeling empty. We are spiritual. We believe in God, but we don’t fear God. There is no ‘kattar’ anything. In my relationship, their problem was more with the industry than our religion. They were Jaats. They were like you are from Islamic background. I was like there is not even I of Islam in me. I don’t follow the religion to the T. And, I am the least religious guy. I believe in Karma. We neutrally respect every religion.”

Amaal believes that everything happens for a reason. “For me to take that understanding that someone is judging me on the basis of my surname or what I am in Bollywood—I was like, ‘Good, I didn’t associate with them because they are not my kind of people.’ I don’t think our relationship would have worked in the long run. I need broad-minded people. Now, I don’t miss her. Our story has come a long way. Post that, I went on several dates, but things never worked out with anybody. My lifestyle is my problem. However, I do feel lonely at times.”
