Malaika Arora on changing relationships and perspectives
In an exclusive interview with Times Entertainment, Malaika said that ideas about love and relationships have evolved over time. “I think relationships are constantly changing. And I’m not a cynic. I’m someone… I believe in all of that, but I also feel like there’s no certainty. I mean, we’ve grown up with the idea of riding off into the sunset forever and ever. We’ve all grown up with that idea because of the movies we’ve seen and the books we’ve read. But I think it’s not that. It’s not that.”Arora added that people learn to accept change as life progresses. “I don’t think too many things are constant. I think things are constantly changing. You kind of make peace with things, you adapt to situations.”Malaika has often been in the public eye for her personal life, but has continued to speak out about her choices without changing her public image to suit outside opinions.
Arhaan Khan tells Malaika Arora that he is not getting married
In the same interview, Malaika spoke about her son Arhaan Khan and said that his views are often different. She recalled him saying, “Mom, I’m not getting married, am I? So please forget you’re going to have grandchildren.”When asked why, Arhaan replied, “Why would I want to bring children into this world with AQI 500 and AQI 1000? Why would I want to do that?” “It’s not worth it,” he said. Malaika said she reacted, “Are you crazy?” and he said to him: “No, you have to live all that.”Malaika also spoke to Pinkvilla about self-love. “I love myself. I’m going to say that every day of my life because if I don’t tell myself that I feel like I’ll never be better. I’ll never be able to do things the way I want to or enjoy life. I have to love myself first before anything else.”Malaika married Arbaaz Khan in 1998 after meeting her at a coffee ad shoot. They divorced on May 11, 2017, and share a son, Arhaan. On the work front, she was last seen in a special appearance in the song ‘Poison Baby’ from the film ‘Thamma’.
