On being asked about always being linked romantically to someone she’s spotted with, Malaika Arora was quick to shut down the speculations. Her most recent rumors involved Splitsvilla X6, a contestant, Sorab Bedi, with whom she has supposedly been friends for a long time. Addressing the constant flow of rumors, she said, “It’s irritating now. I just treat it as a joke.” Sharing how she and her son Arhaan Khan don’t take these link-ups seriously anymore, she added, “Arhaan and me, [we] have a good laugh about a lot of these things.”
Following her marriage of 19 years to Arbaaz Khan and their separation in 2017, the actress is known to have been dating Arjun Kapoor. The duo broke up back in 2024 after being together for 6 years.

Malaika Arora said, “I can’t plan these things. If it has to happen, it will happen. Right now, I’m so happy exploring all of this that’s going on in my life, and I’m… [to] be able to build things from scratch [is] keeping me going. That’s what’s really motivating me, and I think yes, of course, companionship, a partner, all that is…it’s wonderful.” She added that though these aspects of life are beautiful, she’s not actively seeking them at the moment. She does not ‘need a partner.’
Sharing that she’s proud of being a self-made woman, the 52-year-old asserted that she does not need a man to fulfill her or complete her as a person. She concluded, saying, “If I have to be with somebody, I’ll do it on my own terms.”
