Armaan Malik BREAK silence on family pressure

Armaan felt he needed to do something different from his family, so he chose singing as his path. Armaan said that he always wanted to create his own identity. He said, "Mujhe ye surname khatakta tha. My grandfather Sardar Malik was a composer in the 1960s, my uncle Anu Malik is a composer, my father Daboo Malik is a composer, and my brother Amaal Mallik too is a composer. Everyone in the family is a composer, so I thought, what's something that I can do differently? So, I thought of becoming a singer." Earlier, his brother Amaal Malik opened up about family pressure and talked about ending ties with members.
