"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 moulded into attention-seeking headlines. Why?

She highlighted that while her brother, Deepak Chahar, found solace in cricket, she remained at home and faced the tensions between her parents.

Malti shared that when she was young, often her dreams clashed with the expectations that her parents had for her. The Bigg Boss 19 contestant mentioned that while she wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, her father wanted her to become an IPS officer. She recalled how she was given no freedom at home. She added how these things had affected her deeply. She was quoted as saying:

"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."
