Coping with Sleep Apnea

To manage his condition, Amaal carried a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine inside the house. The device delivers a steady flow of air through a mask, keeping the airways open during sleep. In one episode, Amaal was seen wearing the machine, highlighting how the condition affects his daily life.

Reason Behind Participation

Speaking on stage, Amaal explained why he chose to join the reality show. “I’ve had success in music, and that’s a blessing, but I also want people to know the person behind the songs,” he said. He added that after achieving fame at a young age, he has slowed down with time and wants to use Bigg Boss 19 as a platform to connect with his fans on a deeper level.

Real Amaal Beyond Music

The singer-composer admitted that sometimes his tweets or statements created headlines, but fans rarely saw the person behind them. Through this show, Amaal wants to reveal his true personality - one that goes beyond his professional achievements and public image.
