Daboo Malik, brother of the renowned music composer Anu Malik, has recently addressed the impact of the #MeToo allegations against his brother on their family. This comes after Amaal Mallik, Daboo's son, publicly discussed the professional rivalry between Anu and Daboo, and voiced his stance on the allegations against his uncle.

In 2018, during the peak of the #MeToo movement in India, Anu Malik was accused of sexual harassment by several women, including singers Sona Mohapatra, Shweta Pandit, and Neha Bhasin. These allegations led to Malik briefly stepping down as a judge on the reality show "Indian Idol". He denied the allegations, calling them "false and unverified" and suggested potential legal action against his accusers.

Alisha Chinai, who had previously sued Anu Malik for sexual harassment in 1996, also stated that the allegations against Malik were true. She expressed her support for the women who came forward. The resurfacing of these allegations in 2019, coinciding with Malik's return to "Indian Idol," sparked further controversy and public debate.

Daboo Malik has now shared his perspective on the matter, acknowledging the pain the allegations have caused his family. While not directly commenting on the validity of the accusations, Daboo emphasized the difficulty of such situations and the emotional toll they take on everyone involved. He suggested that Amaal's public airing of family matters was unnecessary, explaining that children often internalize dinner conversations about struggles, which can resurface and be misinterpreted later in life.

Amaal Mallik had earlier spoken about the professional challenges his father faced, including alleged sabotage by Anu Malik. Amaal claimed that Anu Malik was overly competitive and actively undermined Daboo's career by taking away projects, contributing to Daboo's depression. He also stated that he doesn't consider Anu Malik family and was embarrassed by the sexual harassment allegations. Amaal expressed his belief that there must be some truth to the allegations, given the number of women who have spoken out.

Daboo Malik, while addressing his son's remarks, acknowledged Anu Malik's hard work and dedication throughout his career. He highlighted the competitive nature of the industry and the challenges everyone faces. Daboo also touched upon his parenting, admitting he may have unintentionally overlooked Amaal's dreams while focusing on his other son, Armaan. He shared that they have since reconciled and that Amaal and Armaan inspire him now.

The #MeToo movement in India brought forth numerous stories of alleged sexual harassment and misconduct, leading to significant public discourse and changes within various industries. The allegations against Anu Malik were a prominent part of this movement, impacting his career and personal life. The recent comments from Daboo Malik and Amaal Mallik offer further insight into the complexities and lasting effects of these allegations on the Malik family.
