“I don’t need a man to fulfil…”: Malaika Arora breaks silence on constant link-ups after Arjun Kapoor breakup

Malaika Arora has never been a stranger to public curiosity, especially when it comes to her personal life. From being spotted at events to casual outings, almost every appearance seems to spark fresh dating rumours. Recently, during a chat with Curly Tales, the actor opened up about how she views the constant chatter about her relationships, which she finds far from serious.

Reacting to the buzz, Malaika admitted that the speculation can get “irritating,” but she has learned not to let it bother her. Instead, she now treats it lightly. In fact, she shared that her son, Arhaan Khan, often joins her in laughing about the headlines that link her to different people. For her, these rumours have become more of a running joke than a concern.

Choosing independence over pressure

The actor, who has often been linked to multiple men in recent years, including the latest buzz around Sorab Bedi, made it clear that she is not actively looking for a partner. She explained that while companionship is important, she does not feel the need to rush into a relationship.

Malaika spoke about the joy she finds in building her own life and identity. As a single mother, she takes pride in being self-made and independent. According to her, a relationship should only happen on her own terms, not because of societal expectations. She also pointed out how she has been linked to almost anyone she’s seen with friends, colleagues, and even acquaintances, something her family now finds amusing rather than intrusive.

Past relationships and staying focused on work

Malaika’s personal life has often made headlines over the years. She was married to Arbaaz Khan for nearly two decades before the two parted ways in 2017. The former couple continue to co-parent their son, Arhaan. Later, she was in a relationship with Arjun Kapoor, which began in 2018 and ended in 2024.

Despite the constant spotlight on her personal life, Malaika continues to stay focused on her professional journey. She was last seen setting the screen on fire with a special dance number in the 2025 film Thamma.
