After staying silent for months, Malaika Arora has finally addressed her ex-boyfriend Arjun Kapoor’s public comment about being single.
Arjun Kapoor’s Controversial Comment
In October 2024, Arjun Kapoor attended a Diwali party hosted by Raj Thackeray in Mumbai. While interacting with fans, who were shouting Malaika’s name, Arjun jokingly said, “Abhi single hoon main, relax.” This remark sparked widespread discussion, leaving fans speculating about the former couple’s relationship status.
Malaika’s Reaction
In an interview with ETimes, Malaika broke her silence, stating that she prefers to keep her personal life private. She commented:
“I will never choose a public platform to talk about my personal life. So, whatever Arjun has said is entirely his prerogative.”
Their Journey Together
Malaika and Arjun began dating in 2018, following Malaika’s separation from her ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan. Initially, Arjun was reportedly in a relationship with Arpita Khan, Salman Khan’s sister, but their relationship ended before he and Malaika became a couple.
The duo made their relationship Instagram official in 2019, often sharing affectionate posts and attending events together. Despite their public displays of love, rumors of a breakup began circulating in 2024 when the couple deleted their photos from social media.
Parting on a Positive Note
Sources close to the couple revealed that Malaika and Arjun ended their relationship amicably, choosing to maintain dignity and respect. A source shared:
“Malaika and Arjun had a very special relationship and both of them will continue to hold a special place in each others hearts. They have chosen to part ways and will maintain a dignified silence in this matter. They won’t allow anyone to drag and dissect their relationship.”
Arjun on Relationships and Emotional Bonds
In a previous interview, Arjun Kapoor spoke about the importance of emotional bonds. He explained that he values being there for someone he cares about during both good and bad times.
“I’m not somebody who has a lot of friends, I’m not doing this for all and sundry. If that person doesn’t want me there, I’ll maintain a distance, as I have in the past.”
Malaika’s response and Arjun’s previous remarks reflect their desire to handle personal matters privately and respectfully.
