Overview
- Armaan Malik asked fans on X on December 27 to stop pitting him against his brother Amaal Mallik and to let the music speak for itself in the new year.
- Amaal Mallik responded on December 28, calling the two "united by blood, divided by nothing" and urging fans to "spread love" rather than compare them.
- The online back-and-forth followed a viral claim that Amaal had the highest listeners on a streaming platform compared with Armaan and other Malik family members.
- Armaan emphasized that their careers follow different paths and that they take pride in each other’s growth, directing attention to forthcoming releases.
- Amaal’s message comes after his Bigg Boss 19 run as a top five finalist, and it echoes Armaan’s earlier public defense of him against hostile fan narratives in October.
