Malaika Arora opened up about separating from Arbaaz Khan in 2016 and their eventual divorce in 2017. She called it the ‘lowest phase in (her) life’ and said that ‘yoga was really a blessing’ in overcoming the tough time. In an interview, Malaika said that many thoughts went through her head, including how society would react and how her 19-year-old son Arhaan would deal with her split from Arbaaz. She added that she had to be firm and clear in her decision as it would impact others around her.
While Malaika is a popular name and is known for keeping a balance between her personal and professional life, there was a point when she wondered if she’ll be able to continue working. “All these thoughts went through my head and I think that probably, for me, was my lowest in life. I would definitely say that it was such a huge upheaval in my life and such a change for me to deal with because it was not just me personally, there were families involved, there was my kid involved, there were just so many other aspects involved,” she said.
Malaika married Bollywood actor-director-producer Arbaaz Khan in 1998. After being together for over 18 years, they announced separation in March 2016. The couple officially got divorced in May 2017. Together they have a son, Arhaan Khan. At present, Malaika is in a relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor, whereas, Arbaaz is said to be dating Giorgia Andriani.
