Bollywood actors Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora might be separated today, but they were one of the most sought after couples a few years back. On many occasions, they had shown the audience what a lovable and respectful marriage looks like. However, all was not well as during the late 2000s many reports of the actor dating another woman made it to the headlines. The couple during a talk show had opened up about how those fake rumours were a price they had to pay for being celebrities.
During their appearance on Sajid Khan’s chat show, Sajid’s Superstar (2008), Arbaaz and Malaika had revealed how he was accused and misquoted. He had opened up about wanting to get re-married to his then-wife on their 25th wedding anniversary in Las Vegas which gave birth to rumours about him cheating on the 49-year-old actress.

Quoted by Bollywood Shaadis, he said, “When we will complete 25 years of marriage, we are going to get re-married. We had plans we will go to some exotic locations like Vegas and all and tie the knot and within 12 hours, the news was filtered and it was presumed that I was going to get married, there’s another woman in his life, and he was going to leave the house.”
Well, this wasn’t the first time they had been subjected to such baseless speculations. Through thick and thin the couple maintained their clam and never let it affect their marriage. Arbaaz then went to share that they wouldn’t let the reputation they had built go to waste over a stupid rumour. He had said, “We have built a reputation together for these many years, not for it to be tarnished by one stupid incident.”
Agreeing with her then-husband, Malaika had shared that the media had accused him very irresponsibly and such reports hurt them. She said, “The saddest part is media accused us very irresponsibly and like Arbaaz said, we have built a life and reputation together for these many years. That is what hurts. At times we feel that this is the price we have to pay for being a celebrity.” ALSO READ: Nora Fatehi Gets Emotional Talking About Being Compared To Malaika Arora; Says, ‘It’s Disrespectful For You And Me’
