Malaika opens up about her Divorce with Arbaaz: Everyone suggested me, don't do it!

Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora’s relationship saw a new twist in 2016 as the power couple decided to part ways officially and broke the hearts of their fans. The two have moved on in their lives as Malaika found love in Arjun Kapoor and Arbaaz in Giorgia Andriani. Recently Malaika was seen making an appearance on What Women Want, and she opened up on how her family was worried about her when she decided to take this step.

Malaika said, "Everyone suggested me, don't do it, 'no one is going to say that your decision is right, so go for it'. Even the night before I got divorced, my family asked me 'Are you sure about your decision?' But I think, people who care for you will definitely be worried about you."

She further added, "The decision was never easy to make and at the end of the day, someone has to be blamed. We both decided to take this step as it would be better for us and the people around us."

Meanwhile, their son Arhaan had accepted the situation and is rather happy to her smiling again. She said, "I would want a happy environment for my child and with time he has been more accepting. Not only this but one day he even said, 'Mom, it’s good to see you happy and smiling." 

In a previous interview with Pinkvilla, Arbaaz talked about Arhaan’s custody as he said, “I am there for him. She has custody of my child and didn’t want to even fight for custody because I felt when the child is younger, he needs his mother. Now he is 17, he will soon be 18, he will make up his mind where he wants to be… he is a lovely boy.”
