Malaika Arora is one of the most popular and stylish celebs in Bollywood. She is known for her chartbuster songs such as ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’, ‘Munni Badnaam’, ‘Anarkali Disco Challi’ among others. Malaika got married to actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan early in her career. In a recent interview, the actress spoke about whether getting married early and having a kid impacted her career. While denying it, she said her marriage and kid were never ever been a hindrance rather it ‘enhanced’ her life.
While speaking to Namrata Zakaria on her podcast, ‘Tell Me How You Did It’, Malaika said, “My answer would be no. It’s never, ever been a hinderance. It never was a hindrance. I’m proof of that. Not in any way has it come in the choices that I’ve made. Being married, or when I was married, or when I decided to have a child, I don’t think any of it had any bearing on my professional life. People around me had a lot more to say, but it didn’t have any bearing on my professional life.”
She added that back then, there were very few who were married with kids. But now things have changed. Married women with kids are working during their pregnancies, and after. “The whole concept has changed. But back then, it was different. I said, ‘I’m not going to let it bother me, I’m not going to let it stop what I want to do’. I worked through my pregnancy. I was on MTV, I did shows, I did all of it. I think I travelled the most when I was pregnant,” Malaika further mentioned.
Malaika got married to Arbaaz Khan in 1998. The couple got separated in 2017. They have one son Arhaan together. Malaika is now in a relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor and has been quite vocal about her feelings for him. ALSO READ: SHOCKING!
