Mumbai, Dec 30 : Former Bigg Boss 19 contestant Malti Chahar has finally addressed the chatter linking her to music composer Amaal Mallik, shutting down all speculation and calling for an end to what she terms a manufactured narrative.

In a strongly worded clarification, Malti took to X, formerly called Twitter, where she stated that there was never any relationship or â??shipâ?? between the two.

She wrote: â??Letâ??s clear this once and for all. Amaal and I had no relationship or any kind of â??ship.â?? He asked for my number, and we met only once. We talked and shared some personal information. After that, we were in touch over the phone. Thatâ??s it! there was nothing else between us.â??

Malti went on to share that on the controversial reality show â??Bigg Boss 19â??, which was hosted by superstar Salman Khan, when she said â??bahar ki baat nahi karenge We wonâ??t talk about things from outside (the house)â??, she meant that she would not share his personal information.

She expressed disappointment over what she described as disrespectful remarks made about her on the show, which she became aware of only after stepping out of the Bigg Boss house.

â??It was disrespectful of Amaal to create a narrative on the show suggesting that I was trying to impress him and to make derogatory remarks about me, something I saw only after coming out of the BB house,â?? she wrote.

Malti further shared that Amaal had spoken about his mental health on multiple occasions, both before and during the show, and that she had responded with empathy in the moment.

â??Yes, he mentioned his mental health a few times, both before and during the show. I was empathetic and tried to help in the moment so he wouldnâ??t have more regrets later. Now, Iâ??m the one regretting it. Thatâ??s all. Spare me now. Please donâ??t associate my name with his. Thanks.
