Bollywood actress and Bigg Boss winner Gauahar Khan has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding music composer Amaal Mallik’s recent remarks about influencer duo Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar.
Amaal Mallik, in a statement, allegedly claimed that the popular content creators have managed to bag opportunities and visibility in the entertainment industry “because of him.” This comment sparked discussions across social media, especially among fans of Awez and Nagma, who together enjoy a massive digital following under the fandom name Nawez.
Amaal told Zeishan, "I know Nagma and Awez well. They never take sides and just stay neutral. They keep saying ‘Amaal bhai’ because they get work from me, including songs, reel promotions, and everything. But they’ll never take a stand."
