Armaan Mallik’s honest request to fans
It all began when Armaan took to social media to make a heartfelt appeal. Without naming anyone, he addressed the growing trend of fans comparing him with his elder brother Amaal.

He made it clear that their journeys might be different, but their bond remains unshakeable. “Our happiness comes from seeing each other grow. Let’s stop the comparisons and move forward together,” he added, asking fans to focus on the music and positive energy instead.
Amaal Mallik’s emotional response
Soon after, Amaal reacted with an emotional note of his own. Calling Armaan his “everything, the composer made it clear that any negativity directed at his brother also hurts him deeply.
“Please bhai log, let’s not do this,” Amaal wrote. “We are united by blood, divided by nothing. My brother is my pride. Hurting or disrespecting him is the same as hurting me.”
He further urged fans to spread love instead of turning admiration into competition. “Dil se request hai,” he added, asking everyone to move ahead as one big, happy music family.
Fans react
The brothers’ messages sparked a flood of reactions online. Many fans appreciated their maturity and honesty, while some admitted that comparisons often come from a place of misunderstanding rather than hate.
