In a recent media interview, Malaika Arora shed light on her personal life, particularly her decision to divorce Arbaaz Khan after 19 years of marriage. She emphasized that despite having a supportive family who encouraged her independence, she chose to marry young at the age of 22-23. "There was an option," she said, implying it felt like the right choice at the time.
However, after years together, Malaika realized her priorities had shifted. "When I decided to get divorced, I don't think there were many women in the industry who were getting divorced and moving on in life," she stated. She emphasized that prioritizing her personal growth and happiness, along with creating a positive environment for her son, ultimately led her to choose divorce.
Malaika also addressed societal perceptions of divorce. "People look at divorce from a different perspective," she said. She highlighted the importance of her own well-being in creating a stable foundation for those around her.
The interview touched on another relatable topic: online negativity. Malaika shared an experience where the price of a dress she wore was publicized and attracted harsh comments, including accusations that her acting career funded her lavish lifestyle. "Seeing these comments made me feel that no matter what stage you go to in life, it does not matter," she concluded.
