Amaal and Armaan are the sons of veteran composer Anu Malik's brother Daboo Malik. (File Photo/Sankhadeep Banerjee, Instagram/@amaal_mallik)Making his issues with his uncle, composer Anu Malik, loud and clear, singer-composer Amaal Mallik recently claimed that the former “sabotaged” his father Daboo Malik’s career in a relentless quest to prove he was the best composer in the family. He went one step further and claimed that Anu often stole his father’s works, which led to his depression. Now, the 64-year-old composer has stepped forward, sharing his feelings about his nephews, Amaal and Armaan, and his reaction to the former’s claims.“Daboo Malik aur Abu Malik (his second brother) sirf mere bhai nahi hai woh mere jigar ke tukde hai. Aur jahan tak unke bachchon ka sawaal hai woh hamari jaan hai aur hamesha jaan rahenge (Daboo Malik and Abu Malik are not just my brothers, they are pieces of my heart. And as far as their children are concerned, they are our life and will always remain our life),” he shared during a chat with Instant Bolywood.Also Read | Bollywood actors demand vanity van for chef to make Rs 40,000 ka chicken salad, says Farah Khan: ‘Then they eat what I bring from home’“Kisi ne bola ki unko gussa aata hai… toh maine kaha, ‘bhai, humein gussa nahi aata.

Anger is a result of love. We were one, we are one, and we will remain one’),” he added.In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan earlier this year, Amaal Mallik claimed, “When Daboo Malik and Anu Malik meet, you can’t separate them. They are like mad brothers. But in the professional dynamics and jealousy, Anu Malik can get a little fiery. They have had issues with each other on the professional front. Anu Malik was overly competitive with my father. He wanted to prove that he was the best composer in his family, so he often tried to sabotage my dad’s career. Every time my dad got a movie, he would go and snatch his work from the producers by offering to work for little money or even for free.”Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd
