Mumbai: Bigg Boss 19 contestant Amaal Mallik, in a new interview, spoke of Salman Khan's alleged bias towards him. Addressing the matter, he stated that he had received a lot of scolding from the actor during the show, and only a part of it had been telecast.
Speaking to Zoom, Amaal stated, "I think this is a perception because we come from this legacy family, and my father has worked with Salman Khan, my uncle has worked. I have done three to four songs. So there is a working relationship and a little bit because when you work and they have worked with the parents and the uncle and everyone. So there is that family association. Yes, but it is true that I exist in this industry as a music composer because of Salman Khan. But it is not like he picked me up and kept me in his lap, and whatever I do, he says, ‘My son, you did very well.’ It is not like that'."
He added that only a part of the scolding he got from the actor was aired. "If, according to people, I got 30% scolding, then I got 70%. But then the whole episode becomes only about me. Also, think that they have to show parts of others also getting scolded… A lot of people felt that okay, more should have been spoken on this topic, but many things were said. I am sorry if it did not make the cut. That is not in my hand, that is in Colors and Endemol’s hand. And if they want to put out the footage of how many times Salman Khan has bashed me, even Basir and even GK, even someone like Nehal or Farrhana, they would feel that in all their fan clubs this is going on," said Amaal.
Amaal was one of the most noted contestants on Bigg Boss. During his time in the house, many viewers accused Salman of being partial to Amaal.
“Amaal ke case mein, main Amaal ko pehle se jaanta hoon aur Amaal se maine itni extreme baatien boli hai jo maine aaj tak ke Bigg Boss mein kabhi nahi boli (In Amaal’s case, I’ve known him for a long time, and I’ve said things to him that I’ve never said to any contestant in Bigg Boss before). But there are some people outside who think I have been very partial with Amaal. Have I been? I have known Kunickaa also, we have worked together a lot, but when she was going wrong, I told her. That’s what I have come here for. I am not bajoing (bashing), I am correcting you," said Salman during the show.
