Malaika Arora calls 2024 ‘a difficult year' after breakup with Arjun Kapoor and losing her father

2024 was indeed a tough year for actress Malaika Arora. She faced two significant events in her life - the loss of her father and a breakup with her boyfriend Arjun Kapoor. In a recent social media post, she shared her thoughts on how 2024 unfolded for her. She called 2024 'a difficult year.'

On December 30, 2024, Malaika Arora posted on her Instagram stories. The note read, “I don’t hate you, 2024, but you were a difficult year, full of challenges, changes and learning. You showed me that life can change in the blink of an eye and taught me to trust myself more. But above all, you made me understand that my health, whether physical, emotional or mental, is what really matters.”

The post concluded, “There are still things I can’t understand, but I believe that, with time, I will understand the reasons and purposes of everything that happened."

Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor were in a relationship for a while. They shared love-filled images on social media and openly discussed their relationship with the media. However, in May of this year, an industry insider confirmed their respectful decision to part ways.

Following the breakup, the actress-model faced another challenge when her father, Anil Mehta, passed away on September 11, 2024. Many Bollywood celebrities visited the Arora family to support the grieving sisters and their mother during this tough period. Arjun was also observed standing by Malaika as a pillar of strength.
