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.”
