After the grand finale of Bigg Boss 19, Amaal Mallik stepped out of the house and opened up about his journey, relationships, emotional highs and lows, and the internal game dynamics like never before. For Amaal, who made it to the Top 5, this journey was far beyond strategies—it became an experience of emotions, friendship, betrayal, struggle, and deep self-discovery. The thrilling journey of Bigg Boss 19 has finally come to an end. Post-finale, Amaal Mallik spoke candidly for the first time about the days he spent inside the house. His path to the Top 5 wasn’t just about playing the game; it was a complete rollercoaster of feelings and lessons. The moment he stepped out, he openly addressed the audience’s love, his bond with contestants, and the reality of his game. Here are a few highlights from our conversation with him…

How does it feel to come out of ‘Bigg Boss 19’?
First of all, it feels amazing. This season was incredible, and every contestant played with full heart. Winning and losing is part of the game, but the love the audience has given me is equal to a trophy. I am truly happy with my journey.

How do you view Gaurav Khanna’s  victory?
Gaurav Khanna (GK) played really well. People used to say he was on the back foot, but everyone has their own strategy. He’s a TV star; there’s a natural connection with the audience. In the end, the winner is the one who deserves it — and GK truly did. I’m very happy for him.

What do you think about Tanya Mittal’s game?
At one point, I felt she was playing from the heart. But when she betrayed her own best friend Neelam Giri, that’s when my trust broke. I believe someone who isn’t loyal to their friends can’t be loyal to anyone. So I kept my distance.

You said inside the house that you knew Malti Chahar from before. How true is that?
Yes, I knew her from outside, but we weren’t close friends — just one or two meetings. Inside the game, if you call someone a friend, others think you’re plotting. So I clearly said — yes, I know her, but that’s it.

You played really well. What would you like to say to your fans?
I entered the show during a very low phase of my life. I had been clinically diagnosed with depression. Everyone told me not to go, saying it would be difficult. But I took it as a challenge. Reaching the Top 5 is a huge victory for me. Zeeshan Qadri, Baseer Ali and Shehbaz Badesha became very special to me. Especially Shehbaz — the genuine smile he brought to my face, I’ll never forget that.

How was it seeing Armaan Malik during Family Week?
Honestly, I was shocked. He himself told me not to go inside the house because it would be tough. So I didn’t expect him to come. But Bigg Boss surprised us. Family Week gave everyone a new wave of energy.

You received an offer from Ekta Kapoor. What are your plans?
Whatever Ekta ma’am did was really sweet. What happens next, time will tell. Music is my life — that I’ll continue no matter what. Beyond that, I’ll do whatever feels right to my heart.

What are your thoughts on Farrhana Bhatt’s game?
Farrhana’s journey was great. There were fights, but her fighting spirit was strong. I always felt she deserved to be in the Top 5, and reaching the Top 2 is a huge achievement.

What would you like to say about the love you received on Instagram?
Real love is felt when people come and hug you in person. Many travelled from far away — from UP, from other cities. That’s true love. It makes me feel like I must have done something right.

What’s your take on GK getting emotional and on the media’s questions during the finale?
We’re cut off from the world for so long that suddenly coming outside feels overwhelming. Media is important, but sometimes a few lines get crossed. GK was asked something very personal, and I also felt it wasn’t necessary. His reaction was 100% justified.

Who are you taking friendship or grudges with outside the house?
Yes, I had fights inside the house — that’s true. But I hold no grudges against anyone outside. My three precious gems — Zeeshan Qadri, Baseer Ali and Shehbaz Badesha — these three will remain friends for
