Talking about her son`s reaction, Arora said, “It’s irritating, but now I just treat it as a joke. Arhaan and I have a good laugh about these things. I can’t plan these things; if it has to happen, it will happen. Right now, I am so happy exploring all that’s going on in my life.”

Malaika, who was previously married to Arbaaz Khan, also spoke about co-parenting her son and how she sees companionship as a single mother.
“To be able to build things from scratch is what keeps me going and motivates me. Yes, companionship and having a partner are beautiful, but I am not actively seeking it. I am very proud of being a self-made woman, and I don’t need a man to complete me. If I choose to be with someone, it will be on my own terms,” she added.

The Chaiyya Chaiyya girl`s personal life has always been in the limelight. Before Sorab Bedi, she was rumoured to be dating a man named Harsh Mehta, with whom she was spotted a couple of times.
Around the same time, Malaika got candid on the constant news about her private life on The Namrata Zakaria Show and addressed that the scrutiny around her personal life is becoming "too much".
“My relationships have always been spoken about and have always made headlines. At one point, I remember saying that my life is much more than just my personal life. It was becoming too much of the centre of attention,” she said.
She further added, “Unfortunately, people forget that because it doesn’t make headlines. I am at a stage in life where I don’t need to prove anything. I just want to do things that make me happy, and I want people to see that.”
Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor parted ways in 2024 after dating for nearly six years. She was last seen in the item number, Poison Baby, in Thamma.
