music composer Amaal Mallik was last seen in Bigg Boss 19. His real and raw personality on the show was much loved by the audience. While Amaal had quite a controversial image before the show, after the show he has won many hearts. During his stay on Bigg Boss 19, Amaal opened up about dealing with some health issues and now, in a conversation with Pinkvilla, he opened up more about the many injuries he has been dealing with over the years.
Talking about his health, Amaal said that in the past, due to financial constraints, he could not undergo some surgeries. The music composer shared, “I have some pending surgeries, I have an ACL in my knee, my entire cheekbone was broken when I was 19 and they had to reconstruct it. I have 45 stitches around my jaw, my right shoulder is dislocated, I fractured my left hand and my nose is broken. I’m like the Terminator; I get up every day and work. It’s my mental strength that keeps me going.”
“Now, I need to fix and slowly work on these things. Luckily, there are good knee pads that help me perform in shows. There was a time when my entire knee was rotating and popping out. It happened during the finale performance of Bigg Boss 19, when I took a turn in a dance sequence and my knee was hurting. There are physical things that need to be fixed, back then I didn’t have the money; now I don’t have the time,” Amaal added.
Recalling the time he had to take a loan, Amaal shared, “Surgeries have become expensive; to get the facial surgery done, I had to take a loan of Rs 5 lakhs just for a maxillofacial surgery. My right side of my skull was broken and I worked through all this. During my 12th exam, my entire face was broken, I kept my eyes open for 3-4 hours through a device like that and wrote the papers. I have faced all the physical and emotional struggles. I’m just rearranging everything I’ve passed my 35 years, because this started when I was five years old.”
While on Bigg Boss 19, there were several occasions when Amaal spoke about his and his family’s struggles. He had even told how he and his brother Armaan worked since childhood just to make a name for themselves.
