Sons neglect father veteran music composer Sardar Malik

Sardar Malik in his ers was an iconic music composer. He had to take up work as carpenter to make his ends meet as his own sons neglected him.

Like so many other members of the film industry in the 1940s and 1950s, music composer Sardar Malik witnessed massive success early in his career, but, finally lost it all. Things turned out to be so bad for him that he had to take up odd-jobs.

Daboo Malik his son at the age ge of 14, recounts in a series of podcast series recalled about his family and its persisting legacy that
his father Sardar Malik ran away from his family, trying to save his life.
Daboo Malik is the brother of Anu Malik, and the father of Amaal and Armaan Malik. In his newly launched podcast series, he narrated the story of his father, Sardar Malik, who escaped certain death in Punjab and made his way to Mumbai to pursue his passion for music. He worked with legends of their time, but his career spiraled into decline just as his three sons were coming of age. The family’s declining financial condition forced all three of them to start working as well, while their father slipped further into sadness.

Recounting stories he’d heard from his father, Daboo began, “He was artistic, he was creative. He wasn’t a fundamentalist. He didn’t want to be caged. No religion, no rules, no regulations. He was 14 when some people came to his house, threatening to kill him. He ran away, and found train tracks, and decided that he would follow the tracks to the next station. He was born in a religious household, but he was fond of dancing. He would dance in the rains, in the sun, everywhere.”
Anu Malik his son is a legendary music composer of several blockbuster films while other brothers Amaal Malik is singer and music composer and so is Armaan Malik. All of them neglected their father and distanced him.
