Bigg Boss 19 made headlines after singer Amaal Mallik called his father Daboo Malik a “failure” during a fight about nepotism. Fans on social media were quick to criticise him, saying it was disrespectful. Amaal said he and his brother are a product of “reverse nepotism,” but many felt he shouldn’t have dragged his father into the argument. The episode sparked a wider debate about privilege, hard work, and opportunities in Bollywood.
Netizens Slam Amaal Mallik
People on social media criticised Amaal, saying his comment was shocking and unfair. Fans argued that Daboo Malik worked hard and did not deserve such words. Some viewers also criticised the show for allowing the debate to become so personal.
Shame on #AmaalMallik 👎🏻
Saying ‘My dad is a failure, hasn’t done anything’ on national TV just to prove his success is heartbreaking.
That must have embarrassed his father deeply.
Respect and love should come first, not insults.💯#BB19 #BiggBoss19 #GauravKhanna pic.twitter.com/LNUP3Gq6Bm
