Malaika Arora was put into the Dark-skinned Category, says I care a f**k to Trolls

Despite not having done a full-blown film in the last 19 years, Malaika Arora has managed to stay in the limelight. Be it either for her relationship with Arjun Kapoor or her gym looks, the actress often makes headlines.

In a recent episode of Neha Dhupia's show NoFilterNeha Season 4, Malaika got candid like never before. Right from her relationship balance with Arjun to facing barricades in the industry, the actress spilled many details.

Malaika reveals that she faced bias in the industry when she entered showbiz because of her dark skin tone.

"I came at a time in the business when this whole thing about dark-skinned, fair-skinned was so prevalent and I was always put into the dark-skinned category so that was always there initially so ya that bias was always there," Malaika said.

Malla started her career in the entertainment industry as a VJ, after which she featured in several dance videos and film songs. She is best known for her hit songs and killer moves in numbers like Chaiyya Chaiyya, Gud Naal Ishq Mitha, Maahi Ve, Kaal Dhamaal, and Munni Badnaam Hui, to name a few.

The gorgeous actress has often been a target of the trolls for dating Arjun Kapoor, who is 10 years younger than her. Malaika, 46, was earlier married to actor Arbaaz Khan with whom she has a 16-year-old son, Arhaan.

Despite the popularity, she has to face social media bullies, who often troll her on her relationship and age gap with Arjun or her dressing style. Malaika says such things don't de-motivate her.

Reacting to the trolls, Malaika says, “Personally, I care a damn. I really I mean if I have to say as crudely, I care a f**k. The only thing that comes to mind is that I just feel bad for people out there who talk or behave a certain way. I mean like you gotta be really messed up in your head or you gotta be really low self-esteem or its gotta be some sort of you know for you to actually sit and belittle somebody or degrade somebody or be nasty.”

"I mean you really gotta have a lot of issues with yourself to be doing just because you have a platform. And you're faceless so you think it's your birthright. I look at it that way. I feel really bad for them," Malaika concluded.
