The once fairytale romance of Bollywood’s glamorous duo Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor has officially come to an end. After dating for over five years, the two parted ways earlier this year, leaving fans shocked and speculations running wild. Arjun Kapoor recently declared his single status at a promotional event for Singham Again, saying, “Nahin, ab main single hoon, relax karo (No, I am now single. Relax),” effectively confirming the split. Now, Malaika has finally opened up, adding her own emotional depth to the story.
In a candid conversation with Etimes, Malaika acknowledged the breakup but chose to keep details under wraps. “I am a very private person, and there are aspects of my life I prefer not to elaborate on publicly,” she said. Addressing Arjun’s statement, she remarked, “That’s entirely his prerogative. This year has been incredibly trying for various reasons, but it’s time for all of us to move on. I’m ready to embrace a new beginning in the New Year.”
Their love story began in 2018, defying age norms and societal scrutiny. The couple, often spotted on romantic vacations and sharing cozy moments on social media, symbolized modern love in the limelight. Despite the split, Arjun stood by Malaika during her father’s passing, showcasing the deep bond they once shared. Reflecting on this, Arjun recently told Raj Shamani, “When I form an emotional bond, it’s for life, regardless of the good and bad.”
As both stars turn the page on this chapter, Bollywood and fans eagerly watch what lies ahead.
