Malaika Arora recently shared heartfelt insights about her personal life in an interview. She spoke openly about her past relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor and the relentless media attention that follows her every move.
Malaika Reflects on Her Bond with Arjun Kapoor
During a conversation on The Namrata Zakaria Show, Malaika addressed her connection with ex-boyfriend Arjun Kapoor. She expressed that anger and hurt are natural human emotions that fade with time. "Time heals all," she noted, echoing a common saying.
She emphasized Arjun's importance in her life. "He is somebody who is so very important to me and such an integral part of my life," Malaika stated. She chose not to dwell on the past or future, mentioning that enough has already been written about it.
Media Scrutiny and Public Interest
Malaika discussed how her personal life constantly makes headlines. She described public interest as "borderline voyeurism" and acknowledged it comes with being in the entertainment industry.
She highlighted the challenge of maintaining privacy today. "Anything, whether you sneeze or go anywhere, it becomes news," she remarked. Malaika feels people often forget she has a life beyond her relationships.
At 52, she focuses on happiness rather than proving herself. "I need to do things that make me happy," she affirmed, wanting others to see that side of her.
Addressing Rumors About a Mystery Man
When asked about being spotted with a mystery man after her breakup, Malaika dismissed the chatter. She said it serves no purpose to fuel such discussions.
She shared amusing anecdotes about being linked to anyone she steps out with, including friends or colleagues. "My mother calls me and asks, 'Who is this now, baby?'" Malaika revealed, laughing it off as the speculation has become laughable.
Malaika's divorce from Arbaaz Khan in 2017 and subsequent relationship with Arjun Kapoor have kept her in the public eye. This interview offers a rare glimpse into her perspective on fame and personal boundaries.
