Baseer Ali; Amaal Mallik
Amaal Mallik has been one of the most talked-about contestants of Bigg Boss season 19. From calling out Tanya Mittal and replying to trolls to supporting his friends, he has expressed his take on every matter. The singer-composer had recently liked a few posts bashing his fellow housemate, and both fandoms started a fan war online. He has now issued a clarification, calling the indirect liking accidental and apologising to Baseer.
Taking to X, Amaal wrote, "Most important thing I'd like to point out is that my friend and manager Krish & Mourjo have not spoken right about Baseer. It may not be direct, but indirectly targeting his song or how he is moving in his career is completely wrong."
He further explained that even tweets liked from his account were not intentional. "I apologize for all of this & I am dil se sorry for the mudslinging happening towards my brother Baseer_Bob," he shared. He also thanked Baseer for handling the matter with maturity despite the negativity online and urged fans to remain calm. "Grateful that he has been mature and not said anything inspite of all the filth that's been thrown here. I want both our fandoms to ceasefire please if you love us," he added.
"This is not for any music video that I'm saying this; I genuinely feel bad about what has gone down. Sorry to Baseer and his entire fandom," he concluded.
Reacting to Amaal's post, actor and Bigg Boss 19 fame Kunickaa Sadanand lauded him for handling the situation in a dignified way. She wrote, "Respect my dear Amaal Mallik and Baseer_Bob for being so mature and sensible. Let's spread love and positivity only. People are battling on so many fronts already. You Amaal Mallik taking responsibility for your team and fans and apologising is something very brave; hope everyone else follows these protocols too."
The singer recently collaborated with co-contestant Farrhana on the romantic ballad Yahin Guzaar Doon. Amaal Mallik's chemistry with Farrhana Bhatt has set screens on fire, as both delivered an impactful performance that audiences have connected with and found emotionally relatable. Fans across social media platforms have praised the song for its emotional depth, soothing melody, and stunning visuals.
The song has crossed over 17 million views on YouTube, marking yet another milestone in the composer's celebrated career.
