(Wherever I got a job as an assistant, the moment they found out that my surname was Mallik, they would remove me from the job, like, ‘Oh, he’s from that family, he might sell out our music,’ or whatever. There was this kind of notion. So it actually worked against me and my brother. It’s not like just because we had the name, everything was served to us on a platter.)
