On X, Malti tweeted, “I don’t understand why my parents are being dragged into every podcast and interview. And when I answer honestly and respectfully, my words get molded into attention seeking headlines. Why? Please stick to me only. They have already had their own set of struggles..please don’t cause them any more pain.” Her brother, cricketer Deepak, supported his sister and tweeted, “Exactly why?”

What Malti Chahar said about parents?

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Malti said, “There was a lot of tension between my parents. They fought constantly, and being the elder sibling, I had to witness all of it. My brother had started playing cricket, which kept him away from these fights… I had told my father that I wanted to participate in the Miss India beauty pageant and pursue a career in the entertainment industry. However, he wanted me to become an IPS officer. He believed that by keeping me away from these ambitions, I would focus on my studies. I was forced to keep short hair until the 11th grade and was given no freedom. It affected me deeply.”She added, “We lived in a 1BHK house, where do you go when your parents are fighting? Many times, my mother would hit me after arguing with my father, and at times, my father did the same. They never realised the impact it had on me. They had compatibility issues and have been living separately for the past 13 years.”
