Malaika Arora hints at her relationship status for the first time post Arjun Kapoor’s statement

Actress Malaika Arora has opened up about her relationship status soon after her ex-boyfriend, actor Arjun Kapoor, confirmed his single status. She shared a post about relationships on her Instagram Stories.

The post read, "My status right now." Malaika simply reposted the post with three options - in a relationship, single, and hehehe, with the last option being highlighted. She didn't add any comments to it.

This occurred within a month after Arjun Kapoor talked about his relationship. In the previous month, Arjun was present at a Diwali gathering organized by politician Raj Thackeray at Mumbai's Shivaji Park. Amidst the crowd chanting Malaika's name continuously, Arjun had commented, "Nahi abhi single hoon. Relax karo (No, I'm single now. Relax)."

Arjun addressed continued, "Inhone 'tall aur handsome' bola, aesa lagraha hai ki shaadi ki baat karrahe hai. Isliye maine bola relax karo pehle (He said, 'Tall and handsome', I felt he was talking about marriage. So I said relax)."

Earlier this year, a source told Pinkvilla, “Malaika and Arjun had a very special relationship, and both of them will continue to hold a special place in each other's 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."

Malaika and Arjun began seeing each other in 2018. Even though they never really talked openly about their relationship, they often shared romantic photos from their trips and exchanged birthday wishes. Arjun also went to visit Malaika after her father Anil Mehta passed away in September this year.

Malaika was previously married to actor-film producer Arbaaz Khan. They were married from 1998 to 2017. Malaika and Arbaaz have a son named Arhaan Khan.
