Armaan uses his social media to spread positivity

For Armaan Malik, social media should be a place to have conversation infused with kindness and compassion, instead of toxicity. And that’s what the singer-songwriter is trying to do through his presence in the virtual world. “In the pandemic, it’s important that we’re there for each other. I may be going through a lot, but we can help each other by just being able to share that with people, or people sharing their stories with me,” admits Malik, who turned 26 yesterday.

For him, it starts by being transparent with his fans, be it the good moments or dark hours. And that leads to a chain reaction. “Not everyone has access to therapists, or psychiatrists. Sometimes, a few kind words by someone can change the whole mood, making one feel much lighter. It leads to a chain of people being able to voice what they’re feeling. I want to create that chain. I want to leave a very positive footprint on my social media.”

Malik wants his social media accounts to be a safe place for people where they can talk to each other without any fear of getting judged.

“It takes a lot of courage on my end to put down my feelings out there. But that’s how things should be done,” notes the Echo hitmaker, who feels that’s the only way

people will “move towards a positive outlook on life”.

Extending his relationship with his fans, the singer released his merchandise on his birthday. “Not a lot of artistes in our country put out their own merchandise. It’s an extension of my vibe and personality,” he concludes.
