Daboo Malik, a singer, composer, and music director from a prominent Bollywood family, has faced a career marked by both success and immense struggles. Though known for songs like Thoda Sa Pyaar Hua Hai and compositions in movies such as Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge, his professional journey saw a difficult period after a failed attempt at acting in the 90s left him with depression and paralysis from stress. Daboo recently revealed how paralysing stress left him unable to ask for help. His financially crunched days made it even more difficult for him to survive. However, actors Salman Khan and Sohail Khan stepped in and provided much-needed emotional and financial assistance, helping Daboo get back on his feet and into the music industry.

Daboo Malik, during a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, revealed that Salman and Sohail’s support during his difficult phase of life helped him a lot. Talking about his struggling days, Daboo narrated, “Jab mujhe aisa laga ki main bol nahi pa raha hoon…. meri zubaan, mere facial expressions paralyse ho gaye the due to stress. Literally, not medically agar kisi se kuch maangna chahun ki kuch chahiye toh mere andar ka jo self-respect tha woh kaise jata bolne ke liye ki mujhe kuch chahiye, ki main apne bachon ko bacha nahi pa raha hoon, that was like a diabolical situation ki aisa kaise ho sakta hai? And then luckily Sohail Khan, Salim Uncle and Salman Bhai came into my life, and that brought the biggest change.”
