Malaika Arora, currently in Paris for the Olympics, recently discussed her relationship with her 21-year-old son, Arhaan. She revealed that his friends are often puzzled about her career, and he struggles to explain what she does.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Malaika shared, “Recently, my son mentioned that his friends are unclear about my various roles. They wonder if I’m an actress, a model, or a TV host. Even kids find it confusing.” Malaika, who juggles multiple roles as an actor, TV host, judge on dance shows, model, and dancer, added, “I don’t feel the need to justify my career choices. I do what I love.”
Approaching her 50th birthday, Malaika reflected on the compliments she receives about her appearance. She said, “When people say, ‘You look great for 48,’ it feels wonderful. I see it as a compliment and a testament to my hard work and dedication. It’s gratifying when people ask how I maintain my look.”
Although Malaika is a well-known social media personality, she often faces trolling. She mentioned that she has learned to “block out the noise.” She explained, “Sometimes negative comments affect me, but I’m improving at ignoring them. I focus on maintaining mental strength and reinventing myself through yoga, meditation, retreats, and a healthy lifestyle.”
Malaika Arora was previously married to actor and filmmaker Arbaaz Khan, but they divorced in 2017 after 19 years of marriage. Their son Arhaan is now 21. Arbaaz has since married Sshura Khan, while Malaika had been dating actor Arjun Kapoor, but they have reportedly ended their relationship.
