In a rare joint effort to curb social media toxicity, brothers and musical powerhouses Amaal Mallik and Armaan Malik issued powerful statements on Sunday, December 28, 2025, asking their respective fandoms to stop pitting them against each other.
The appeal comes after a week of intensified online rivalry, reportedly triggered by a viral post comparing the brothers’ streaming numbers and professional milestones following Amaal’s high-profile stint on reality TV.
The Brothers’ “United Front”
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Amaal Mallik emphasized that any disrespect toward his younger brother is a personal attack on him.
- Amaal’s Message: “Please bhai log let’s not do this. We are united by blood, divided by nothing. My brother is my pride, my baby, my everything… hurting him is equal to hurting me.”
- Armaan’s Stance: A day earlier, Armaan Malik had questioned the logic of the fandom wars. “I genuinely don’t understand why a section of the fandom keeps trying to pit me and Amaal against each other… Our joy has always come from seeing each other grow. Please end the comparisons. We’re bigger than that.”
Context: The “Bigg Boss 19” Aftermath
The surge in fan comparisons follows Amaal Mallik’s successful run on Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 19, which concluded on December 7, 2025.
