Malaika Arora, one of Bollywood’s most recognized faces, recently opened up about her divorce from actor-producer Arbaaz Khan, shedding light on the personal battles behind her decision. Speaking with Pinkvilla, the actress admitted that ending the marriage was one of the toughest choices of her life.
“Of course I would have loved for my marriage to be forever. But that didn’t happen.
That doesn’t mean I have lost faith in love, or that I made a huge mistake,” she said. For Malaika, relationships are fragile, and while she tried to make it work, life took another turn.
‘What people forget is… you can put yourself first’
The actress revealed that while the decision was hers, it came with immense judgment from society. Fingers were pointed at her, with many labeling her choice as selfish.
“What people forget is… people think it’s wrong to put yourself first. But what is the harm? I needed to be happy before making anybody else happy. I was not happy. People said, ‘What a selfish decision,’ but I did what I felt was right. Today, I feel that decision has helped me be a better person,” Malaika explained.
She stressed that prioritizing her own well-being was not about abandoning responsibilities, but about becoming stronger for herself and her family.
On co-parenting -'It has its challenges'
Malaika also opened up about co-parenting her son, Arhaan Khan, with Arbaaz. “It has its challenges. It’s not the easiest thing on planet Earth. But after all these years, we have found a good balance. Arhaan is 22 now and knows what to talk about with his mother and what to address with his father. We have our boundaries, and that works for us,” she shared. Despite the struggles, Malaika remains hopeful about love. “I am hopeless in love, I am loyal in love.
Love is ever-changing, and so am I,” she added.
