Controversies

The music of several songs credited to Malik in the movie The Gentleman was written by A. R. Rahman and Mera Piya Ghar Aaya in Yaarana was allegedly identical to a song by the same name written by Pakistani Qawwali musician Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Malik has come under fire for using music written by other composers. Khan apparently had no problem with Bollywood music producers adopting his lyrics but he was very upset when Malik turned a song with a religious overtone into a secular love ballad. In an interview with IANS Malik refuted all claims of plagiarism asserting that no one in this world is original and that all similarities are the result of there being just seven notes in music. According to Khan Malik had repeatedly told him that he loved his music and was actually showing admiration by using his tunes.

During the MeToo movement in India in October 2018 Malik was accused of sexual harassment by a number of different women. Singer Shweta Pandit filed one allegation claiming that when she was 15 years old he made an unwelcome sexual advance at her. The lyricist Sameer spoke out in Pandit's defense claiming that he was there at the audition where the alleged abuse of Pandit occurred. Neha Bhasin and Sona Mohapatra both charged Malik of predatory behavior. Malik refuted the accusations but the negative publicity led to his removal as a judge for Indian Idol season 10 despite his denials. The claims were backed up by Alisha Chinai who had filed a lawsuit against Malik for molestation in the 1990s.
