Actor, author, and entrepreneur Malaika Arora often finds herself in the spotlight due to her personal life. In a recent chat, she spoke about the constant dating rumours, calling them irritating, and revealed how she and her son, Arhaan Khan, now laugh about it.
Malaika was recently rumoured to be dating Splitsvilla X6 fame Sorab Bedi after a picture from a party surfaced online. She said, 'It's irritating, but now I just treat it as a joke. Arhaan and I have a good laugh about these things.'
As a single mother, Malaika shared that building her life independently is what keeps her motivated. She said, 'To be able to build things from scratch, and that's what is keeping me going and motivating me. I am proud of the fact that I am a self-made woman, and I don't need a man to fulfil or complete the person that I am.'
Malaika was previously married to Arbaaz Khan for two decades before they parted ways and officially divorced in 2017. They share a son, Arhaan. She later began dating Arjun Kapoor in 2018, keeping the relationship private initially, before the two eventually parted ways in 2024.
On the work front, Malaika was last seen in a special dance number in the 2025 film Thamma. The song, Poison Baby, featuring Rashmika Mandanna alongside her, became a chartbuster, with many praising Malaika’s moves. She has also appeared in several music videos, including Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Chillgum. Malaika recently added author to her list of achievements with her book It’s Easy To Be Healthy.
