After being in a relationship for almost 5 years, Bollywood couple Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora have broken up. The news has surely come as a shock to their fans and well wishers, as the former had earlier opened up about about marrying Malaika. Last year, while speaking to Karan Johar at his talk show, Arjun was asked whether he and Malaika have any plans to take their relationship to the next level anytime soon.
At that time, Arjun had shared, “I think at this point, and as much as I love coming on your show and being as honest and sincere about it, I think this is the part of my life that right now I want to take it as it comes,” Arjun told Karan. “I think it’s unfair to be sitting here without her and talking about the future. I think that would be the most respectful thing. Once we reach that stage, we will come and talk about it together. I’m very very happy where I am and I think we make no bones about the fact that we survived through whatever we’ve had to be in this comfortable happy space.”
Arjun further added, “I don’t want to speak about anything specifically right now because I think that’s unfair to the relationship to talk alone about it.”
Arjun and Malaika have not commented on the breakup, a source has said that they have parted ways and it was an amicable split.
“Malaika and Arjun had a very special relationship and both of them will continue to hold a special place in each other’s hearts. They have chosen to part ways and will maintain a dignified silence in this matter. They won’t allow anyone to drag and dissect their relationship,” a source told Pinkvilla. The source added that their ‘relationship has run its course.’
“They had a long, loving, fruitful relationship that has unfortunately run its course now. That doesn’t mean there is any bad blood between them. They respect each other hugely and have been a pillar of strength for each other. Over the years, they have given their relationship a lot of respect. They will continue to give each other the same respect despite them deciding to part ways. Both of them were in a serious relationship for years, and they expect people to be gracious enough to give them space at this emotional time,” the insider added.
Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor went public with their relationship in 2019, at the screening of India’s Most Wanted. They also went public with their relationship on social media. They often shared posts featuring each other.
Malaika and Arjun shared a 12-year age difference. They were often trolled for their age difference. Appearing on one of the seasons of Koffee With Karan, Arjun said, “What is important to understand is that you will be affected. There is no person that is not being affected, it is about dealing with it. It also shows their (trolls’) upbringing and their culture. Those people that are putting up random comments, you also know that they are trying to get your attention. So earlier, I used to get a bit worked up and wanted to respond all the time. Then I realised that I have to allow it to sink in, to understand what the reason is why these desperate people are trying to get my attention, and try to detach myself from their reaction. Does it affect me? Yes it does… they (trolls) might be doing it get likes.”
