On the show, Amaal was seen candidly opening up about his family’s struggles. In a recent interview with IANS, he reflected on his decision to open up about personal stuff on national television.

“If someone asks me about my entire journey, I will answer honestly. I’m not afraid to speak my truth,” he shared. “People worry about their image or their following. I don’t.
