Mumbai: Sachet Parampara have broken their silence in a dramatic way. The singer songwriters posted a lengthy video to Instagram accusing composer Amaal Mallik of sharing what they term false and unsubstantiated assertions against their 2019 hit song Bekhayali featuring in the film Kabir Singh. In the video the two claim to have hard evidence, such as message screen shots, proving the song was written during co-writing with Shahid Kapoor and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. They demand a public apology and warn they are ready to move to court if the matter is not resolved.
What Sachet Parampara claim, in their words
In their video Sachet and Parampara insist Bekhayali is entirely original and was created by them during meetings with the film’s team. They claim that there are chat logs that indicate that all the melodies, arrangements and lyrics were a result of those sessions. The pair also indicate that they did not have any previous connection with the involved major label, and Amaal Mallik had an established relationship with it, citing this as a reason to make any implication of preferential treatment improbable.
They shared screenshots which they say show Amaal congratulating them after the song’s release, and even telling them he was, quote, “waiting” for it. The duo say they did not even have Amaal’s number initially, and that he was the one who reached out to them later.
The core of the accusation, and why Sachet Parampara are upset
Sachet and Parampara are upset that Amaal publicly suggested his references were used to make Bekhayali, and that someone may have shared his tune with them over WhatsApp. They dismiss that theory as implausible, saying, quote, “Why would anyone favour us when we were complete outsiders?” In their video they accuse Amaal of unfounded statements and that he has led his fans astray and that he points the blame of his failures on the industry. They stress that success comes from consistent hard work, not insider outsider politics, and they say their entire body of work is original.
Amaal Mallik’s remarks that started the controversy
According to reports, the dispute escalated after an interview in July in which Amaal Mallik said he had created musical references on WhatsApp that he thought were used in Bekhayali. He reportedly said he made comments after seeing the final song, and that his involvement with the film’s music had been scaled down. Those statements led Sachet Parampara to make the video that they call the expose to clear their name and safeguard their reputation.
Evidence, screenshots and the demand for apology
Sachet Parampara say they have full chat records and screenshots which back their version of events. They point to messages in which Amaal allegedly complimented Bekhayali in person and in writing, calling it, quote, “fab.” The duo say these messages contradict his later public claims. Their video concludes with a demand that Amaal apologizes publicly because his allegations have hurt their reputation and mental well-being. They express they are going to take legal action when the need arises.
Why this is a bigger issue for the music community
Beyond the personalities involved this dispute touches on a larger fault line in the industry, where questions of credit and influence can spark heated arguments. Sachet Parampara frame the row as a fight for artistic integrity, arguing that outsiders can break through on merit, and that success should not be reduced to rumours of insider privilege. If unresolved, the case could lead to legal proceedings and set a public precedent for how such disputes are handled.
At present the feud is playing out in public statements and social posts. The next steps to watch for are a response from Amaal Mallik, any legal notices, and whether either side releases more documentary proof. Fans and industry insiders will also be watching media interactions and interviews that may shed further light on the timeline of how Bekhayali was written and recorded.
Final takeaway
Sachet Parampara have made a loud, evidence based rebuttal to Amaal Mallik’s claims and asked for a clear apology. The controversy raises serious questions about credit and process in Bollywood music production, and it is likely to stay in the headlines until either the parties resolve the matter privately or the courts get involved. For now the duo have made their stance clear, and the music world waits to see how the accused responds.
