'I hope Salman ties the knot soon'

This is the wish sis-in-law Malaika Arora Khan wants to gift Sallu

MANDVI SHARMA

Malaika Arora Khan's gift to brotherin-law Salman was a wish she made for him. "I wish he gets married soon," she says. "I've seen him with the kids… he's brilliant with them. It's time for him to take care of his own. It is just a next step, a natural progression, and I want Salman to enjoy the bliss of married life," adds the mother of one. So when is the happy event? "Only he can answer that," she laughs.
But Malaika's own progression seems quick, and not only on the family front. The self-confessed "queen and diva" is planning to launch her own line of clothing soon. "This project is very close to my heart. The clothing line is going to be completely about me and my identity," she says. And what she will be
all about this year is moving on from what she's been doing all along. "I have been there and done that. Now I want to do different things and coming out with my line of clothes is going to be one of them."
But that's got her jetting around more often, and every time she gets used to home and her staff, she has to leave for another show. "Yes, there have been too many stage shows recently. And there is another TV show that Arbaaz and I are going to host together beginning soon. I have also recently shifted to my new home and I have been busy doing it up."
And speaking of home and family, Helen aunty is someone she idolises. "She is a great human being. Recently, she performed at an award function and I had no clue about it. But when we got to know, the whole family rushed there. It was a very special moment for all of us... she is still so graceful. She told us later that she was a bundle of nerves on stage."
