Daboo Malik On Amaal Mallik’s Decision To Take A Break From Film Music

During a recent interaction with News18, Daboo Malik got candid about Amaal Mallik’s decision to take a break and why he supports it. Calling his son’s hiatus a ‘genuine break’, the website quoted him saying, “I think it’s a good decision. He started very early in life. Every artist goes through moments when they want to reboot themselves so that they know what they want to do in the future. I feel these five-six months would definitely help him in a big way.”

He further continued, “A certain kind of exhaustion may set in, in terms of the pressures of creativity and media. I think it’s a good thing to look inside and reboot one’s mindset. Physical health is also a very important part of life.” For those who don’t know, Amaal Mallik has previously opened up about his battle with clinical depression. In fact, he has recently also shared a photo from a hospital, leaving his fans concerned about his well being.

Talking about Amaal Mallik’s break and why its a good decison, Daboo Malik, continued, “It’s a very sensitive issue. It’s being protrayed as a major complication but that’s not what it is. Every human being is faced with different mental challenges. An artist’s emotional quotient is so high. They need to create emotional songs and dig deep into their mind to create melodies. So, it (mental health) has to be taken care of. I’ve been like therapy for my son. I like to be around him. We’ve a lot of discussions and arrive at certain points but the challenges will always be there and we’re working hard on it.”

Daboo: There’s no desperation to keep working

But is he worried about this hiatus may prove detrimental to Amaal’s career? Daboo replied, “No, the way in which this industry has changed is fantastic. These aren’t those times when an artist needs to constantly work amd make a hundred songs like we did back in the day. This new generation wants to do great work even if that means making five songs in a year. They focus their energies on leaving a footprint that’s extraordinary.”

He concluded by saying, “A lot of people have done their bit and it’s time to focus their energies internally. You can make one hit song and be back in the game immediately. There’s no desperation to keep working. They don’t worry ki industry se bahar ho jaayenge. Ek bhi gaana kar lo toh woh bhi kaafi hai.” For those who don’t remember, earlier this year, Arijit Singh had also announced his retirement
