Music composer Amaal Mallik has officially addressed the viral speculation regarding his relationship with Bigg Boss 19 co-contestant Tanya Mittal. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Amaal clarified that their on-screen chemistry was a result of show requirements rather than a real-life romance.
The clarification follows a wave of fan-made “ship” videos and clips of the duo dancing together, which led many viewers to believe the two were dating.
“Nonsensical Romance”: Amaal Sets the Record Straight
Amaal emphasized that reality television often involves scripted or task-oriented interactions that shouldn’t be taken literally.
- Task-Driven Bond: “Bhai yeh ek ‘TASK’ tha (Brother, this was a task),” Amaal wrote, explaining that their dance performances and pairings were guided by the channel’s creative direction.
- Respecting Boundaries: He urged fans to stop creating “nonsensical romance” narratives, noting that such rumors could unfairly damage Tanya’s public image.
- A Public Apology: Acknowledging the friction that occurred during the high-pressure environment of the house, Amaal added, “I am truly sorry for whatever I did in anger and to poke her.” He expressed gratitude for the emotional support she provided him during his low phases in the show.
