Television[edit]
Malik remained one of the judges on the TV show Indian Idol throughout each season
till it ended. In the first two seasons, he was accompanied by Sonu Nigam and Farah
Khan, and in the third by Alisha Chinai, Udit Narayan and Javed Akhtar. He was a judge
in the first Asian Idol held in Indonesia, representing Indian Idol. He appeared on Indian
Idol 4 with Sonali Bendre, Kailash Kher and Javed Akhtar. After that, he appeared as a
judge with Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant in Indian Idol 5.
Farah Khan and Malik were the judges for Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, a
variety entertainment reality show that airs on Sony Entertainment Television (India) on
weekdays.
Malik was the only judge from India on Asian Idol, who represented Indian
Idol winner Abhijeet Sawant, with other judges Indra Lesmana, Paul Moss, Pilita
Corrales, Ken Lim and Siu Black. Malik had been judging the television show Indian
Idol[10] since its inception until October 2018 when he left the show following allegations
of sexual harassment.[11] Malik returned as a judge in 2019 for the 11th season. [12][13]

Singer[edit]
Although he is not a mainstream singer, Malik does playback singing [14] for his
compositions. Written off as a singer in his early days ("Julie Julie," for instance), he
continues to sing his own compositions, with songs such as "Ek Garam Chaye ki Pyali"
from the movie Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, "Gori Gori" in Main Hoon Na or the recent "Meri
Jane Jigar" in Deewane Huye Paagal. Among his works are "Oonchi Hai Building" [15] and
"East or West India is the best" from the movie Judwaa.[16] and the rap part of "Yeh Kaali
Kaali Aankhen" of Baazigar.
While he sings entire songs for some movies, especially those starring Sunil
Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Shahid Kapoor (in Deewane Huye Paagal he
sang almost every song), and has also sung as part of a chorus in "Mehbooba
Mehbooba" in the film Ajnabee, and "Tumse Milke Dilka Jo Haal" for Main Hoon Na.
His albums include Dekho Barish Ho Rahi Hai, Tera Chehra, Dhua Dhua and an
English album, Eyes.

Personal life[edit]
Malik is married to Anju.[17] They have two children.

Controversies[edit]
Pakistani Qawwali musician Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has claimed that Anu Malik has
copied some of his songs, including "Mera Piya Ghar Aaya" in Yaarana (1995) which
was allegedly identical to Khan's song of the same name. [18] Khan was reportedly
tolerant towards Malik and other Bollywood music directors plagiarising his songs.[19][20] .
In his defense, Malik claimed that he loved Khan's music and was actually showing
admiration by using his tunes.[20]
In October 2018, in the wake of the MeToo movement in India, Anu Malik was accused
of sexual harassment by several women in separate claims. [21] One accusation came
from singer Shweta Pandit, who said he had made an unwanted sexual pass at her
when she was 15 years old.[22][23] Lyricist Sameer came out in support of Anu Malik,
saying that he was present during the audition where the harassment of Pandit was
claimed to have happened.[24] Sona Mohapatra and Neha Bhasin also accused Anu
Malik of predatory behaviour.[25] Malik denied the allegations,[23] but the public backlash
resulted in him leaving as a judge for season 10 of Indian Idol.[21][26]. Alisha Chinoy, who
had sued Malik for molestation in the 1990s, supported the allegations. [27] Sonu
Nigam came out in support of Anu Malik, claiming that he had not seen any proof that
the allegations were true.[28] In 2019, Malik was reinstated as a judge on Season 11
of Indian Idol, a decision that resulted in heavy criticism. Malik stepped down, claiming
that he had decided to take a break as he was unable to focus on his work on the show.
[29][30]
 On 17 January, 2020, National Commission for Women closed the sexual
harassment case on Anu Malik due to lack of substantial evidence, but clarifying that it
could be reopened.[31] Sona Mohapatra criticised the commission's decision.[32]

Awards and nominations[edit]

Malik was awarded a Silver Lotus for J.P. Dutta's Refugee and the Filmfare Special Jury
Award. He also won the Filmfare Best Music Director Award for Main Hoon
Na and Baazigar.[33]
He is a seven-time winner from 42 nominations for best music director, including 14
nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director.[34]
