Three years back, Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan decided to part way mutually. The ex-couple is currently parenting their son Arhaan. In 2017, the couple was granted divorce. Now, after two years of her divorce, the actress has made her relationship with Arjun Kapoor official, by posting a picture on the actor’s birthday. The couple is treating their fans with their pictures together from NYC, where they are currently vacationing.
Ever since, Malaika and Arjun have started making public appearances together, they were trolled for their age gap. This morning, we brought you what she had to say about trolls and also about Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, who were not spared by netizens. You may recall in 2017, in an interview, Malaika had said that she wasn’t thinking of being in another relationship, but just a few days back, she made her relationship with the Namaste England actor official.
When she was asked about the same, she told Bombay Times, “Firstly, I am not the first and not the last woman in this industry to get divorced. Marriage is a beautiful institution, but God forbid, if it hits a certain road bump, which eventually leads to separation or divorce, so be it. Unfortunately, we live in a society where there is so much negativity when it comes to divorce. I don’t believe in this concept of happily ever after. It’s great in a book, but there’s no such thing in our lives. You try to make the most of everything and rise to every occasion. Sometimes, it works and sometimes it doesn’t. What transpires between two people is very personal and sacred. The two people who decide to part ways are the only ones who will know the real reasons for it. For people to point fingers and insinuate is very unfair. It’s wrong to judge. Arbaaz and I have moved on, amicably. We have to be sensitive to our child (Arhaan) and his needs.”
She further added, “When we parted ways, I felt vulnerable, though I am not a vulnerable person. I didn’t know which direction I wanted to move into. I was just sure that I have to give my child a stable environment, and to date, it has been my number one priority. Gradually, one thing led to another and now, things are how you see them today. I have to give my son a lot of credit for that. He has been very understanding and supportive of me. That was essential for me. My happiness matters the most to him and his happiness, to me. He has been instrumental in shaping my life. There were really no plans of being in another relationship, but things happened organically. We’re now in a phase of our life where we need to give our relationship that respectability by acknowledging each other’s presence.”
