Malti Chahar and Amaal Mallik
Even though Bigg Boss 19 has ended, its contestants continue to stay in the headlines for viral statements. During her stint on the show, Malti Chahar had claimed that she knew Amaal from outside the show and that they had met at multiple parties. Now, addressing the speculation surrounding her equation with Amaal, Malti has issued a strong statement clarifying they had no relationship and urged netizens not to âship' them.
The Bigg Boss 19 contestant wrote on X, "Let's clear this once and for all. Amaal and I had no relationship or any kind of âship.' He asked for my number, and we met only once. We talked and shared some personal information. After that, we were in touch over the phone. That's it! There was nothing else between us. On the show, when I said âbahar ki baat nahi karenge,' I meant that I would not share his personal information."
In the post, Malti also accused Amaal of setting a false narrative about her. She further wrote, "It was disrespectful of Amaal to create a narrative on the show suggesting that I was trying to impress him and to make derogatory remarks about me, something I saw only after coming out of the BB house. Yes, he mentioned his mental health a few times, both before and during the show. I was empathetic and tried to help in the moment so he wouldn't have more regrets later. Now, I'm the one regretting it. That's all. Spare me now. Please don't associate my name with his. Thanks."
During Bigg Boss 19, Malti had earlier disputed Amaal's claim that they had met only briefly before entering the house. She clarified that the meeting had lasted much longer and that he had even sung four songs for her. These remarks fuelled speculation among viewers that she might be the 'mystery girl' Amaal repeatedly mentioned on the show.
Amaal later clarified in an interview that none of her housemates was his mystery girl. He said, "Jitni bhi ladkiyaan ghar mein thi, wo meri mystery girl nahi hai. Jo aaye, gaye, the, koi nahi⦠jisne jo bola hai, I want to quash it completely. None of the girls in the house was of my interest."
