Malaika Arora Reacts to Arjun Kapoor’s ‘I Am Single’ Remark: ‘It Is Time to Move On’

Bollywood actress Malaika Arora has finally broken her silence over her break-up with actor Arjun Kapoor. The two had ended their relationship earlier this year and since then, both the stars had not spoken about their break-up in public. However, during the promotional event of Singham Again, Arjun Kapoor had confirmed that he was single, which opened an interesting question among his fans to know what Malaika thinks.

In her interaction with ETimes, Malaika talked about what Arjun said relating back to her past and further into her present and future too.

When Malaika was asked about the declaration of Arjun Kapoor that he is now single, she replied with the dignity and calmness as well. She referred to his statement as his personal choice, saying,

“I am a very private person and there are certain aspects of my life which I would not like to elaborate upon much. I will never choose a public platform to discuss my personal life. Whatever Arjun has said, is entirely his prerogative.”

Acknowledging challenges she faced over the past year, Malaika added that

“Yes, it has been a very trying year for various reasons. I think it is time for all of us to move on from whatever transpired in the year that went by. I am ready for the New Year and a new start in my life.”

Her comments reflect a mature approach to personal challenges, as she emphasizes moving forward and embracing new beginnings.

Arjun Kapoor Confirms Breakup with Malaika Arora

Earlier, when promoting the film Singham Again, Arjun Kapoor was even asked about his relationship status. The actor replied with candid honesty, telling paparazzi,

“Nahin, ab main single hoon, relax karo (No, I am now single. Relax).”

With this, months of rumour-mongering about a breakup was put to rest. While Arjun chose honesty, he too has not dug into details of their separation.

A Timeline of Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor’s Relationship

Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor’s relationship started in 2018, and the couple has been one of the most talked-about pairs in Bollywood since then. The couple shares a close bond despite the age difference and was regularly spotted vacationing and appearing in public together.

There has never been a time when the couple hasn’t faced scrutiny in their relationship. They have been tight-lipped about private lives, though occasionally giving glimpses of each other through social media posts. Even after breaking up, they showed respect and support for each other.

For instance, when Malaika Arora lost her father early this year, Arjun Kapoor stood by her at that tough time. When asked in an interview by Raj Shamani about his take on relationships, he said,

“In life, without going into one instance, I’d like to say when what happened with Khushi, Janhvi, there is an instinct and impulse. In this case, also, there is an instinct and impulse. If I formed an emotional bond with somebody, I’d always like to believe that I’d be there irrespective of the good and the bad.”

Malaika and Arjun’s Independent Quest After Breakup

While this was the biggest chapter of life which the break-up indicated for them, Malaika and Arjun still look to focus on themselves and professional lives.
