When asked about the nature of their friendship, Malaika revealed, "We have laughed, we have cried, fought, travelled. Food is a huge factor that binds us. The other thing is, I think we are all very similar. We come from very similar ways of upbringing. Similar backgrounds of growing up, parents. I think that is also what got us together. I think there is a lot of similarities. Two girls, sisters, sisterhood, that kind of bonding."
When questioned about their disagreements, Malaika clarified that they don't fight but may have differing opinions on certain topics. She mentioned that their differences are usually minor issues.
She elaborated, "Somebody may not have said something, or somebody must have forgotten something, and then you bring it up. Those kind of things. Very very silly or trivial things."
Arora was asked if they support each other during tough times, to which she instantly agreed, saying, "My family, we went through a tough time; her (Kareena Kapoor) family went through a tough time. That's what it is. If you are there in tough times with each other, I think that's what matters the most. I think everything else doesn't even compare."
She also mentioned that they never fail to check in on one another.
