Arbaaz Khan opens about his emotional relationship with ex-wife Malaika Arora. Arbaaz disclosed that just because they are divorced, doesn’t mean they have to hate each other. The Dabangg producer mentioned how he shares a mutual respect for Malaika post their divorce in 2017.
In an interview with Deccan Chronicle, the producer-actor Arbaaz Khan has revealed that divorce cannot be the reason to be obligated to hate each other. Arbaaz said, “We have been together for so many years, and shared so many memories. Most importantly we have kids together, so there’s a respect for each other. There was something that did not work between us so we got separated. However, this doesn’t mean that we will hate each other. We are mature individuals; we are dealing with it with respect and dignity.”
Arbaaz Khan further mentioned that their son Arhaan keeps them close. He said, “I have a good equation with her side of the family too. So if we could not live amicably under one roof, we decided to lead our lives separately. Our son has kept us bonded, and when he grows up everything will be better.”
Talking about his 16-year-old, Arbaaz mentioned how Arhaan is a very good son, adding how he has handled the divorce between the parents. He also said that many times when at this sensitive age, children are victims of bad influence, but Arhaan is a very positive kid. He also revealed that the boy has excelled in studies, sports, and music and has some good habits and good friends, and that makes him feel more proud of him.
On Kareena Kapoor’s chat show, Malaika Arora had also spoken briefly about the split in an appearance, where she said, “We did think about a lot of things and weighed every single pro and con.” She further added,“And then we decided, it’s better off that we move our separate ways because we’d just be better people. Because we were two people in a situation making each other extremely unhappy which was impacting everybody else’s life around us.”
While Malaika has been hitting headlines for her relationship with Arjun Kapoor and their on and off holidays, Arbaaz on the other side is dating model Giorgia Andriani.
Talking about social media and privacy Arbaaz said, “Social media has taken away privacy from you, because nothing is personal, everything is in and on social media now,” the producer-actor further added, “Today even the common people with mobile phones in their hands click photos of celebrities while they may be having food in a restaurant and share it on social media.”
Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora tied the knot in 1998, and have a 16-year-old son named Arhaan Khan. The duo got divorced in May 2017.
