In Mumbai, Malaika Arora has opened up about ongoing dating rumours following her split from Arjun Kapoor.
The actor says she no longer takes such speculation seriously and chooses to laugh it off.
The Welcome star was recently linked to Sorab Bedi after a picture from a party went viral.
However, Malaika brushed off the rumours, calling them “irritating” but no longer impactful on her life.
“We laugh about it now”
Speaking about constant speculation, Malaika shared that she now treats such rumours lightly.
She revealed that she often jokes about them with her son, Arhaan Khan, instead of letting them bother her.
“It’s irritating, but now I just treat it as a joke,” she said, adding that she is happy with her current phase of life.
During her conversation with Curly Tales, Malaika emphasized that her focus remains on personal growth and independence.
She highlighted her journey as a single mother, saying building her life on her own terms is what keeps her motivated.
While acknowledging that companionship is important, Malaika clarified that she is not actively looking for a relationship.
She stressed that if she chooses to be with someone, it will be entirely on her own terms.
“I am self-made woman”
The Dabangg actor expressed pride in her independence.
“I am a self-made woman, and I don’t need a man to complete me,” she said, reinforcing her stance on self-reliance.
Malaika was previously married to Arbaaz Khan for nearly 20 years before their divorce in 2017.
The former couple share a son, Arhaan Khan. She later dated Arjun Kapoor from 2018 until their reported split in 2024.
