Rumors surrounding the alleged breakup between Bollywood actors Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora have been swirling for weeks, fueled by Malaika’s absence from Arjun’s recent birthday celebrations and her silence on social media. These factors have led to widespread speculation about the status of their relationship.
In a recent interview with Hello! Magazine, Malaika Arora broke her silence on the matter, addressing the intense media scrutiny and online trolling she has faced. The actress emphasised the toxic nature of the internet, revealing how she has developed a protective shield to safeguard her mental well-being. “I have somehow built a mechanism — or shield, I would say — around me where I don’t let the negativity through anymore. I’ve insulated myself from it,” she stated.
Malaika explained that while she is aware of the hurtful comments and speculation circulating online, she no longer allows them to affect her as deeply as they once did.
“Whether it’s people, a work environment, social media, or trolls. The minute I feel that energy, I recoil instantly. It’s something I’ve learned to do over time. It would get to me earlier and I would lose sleep over it,” she added. Despite the challenges, she acknowledged that she still experiences the full range of emotions associated with being a public figure under constant scrutiny. “But you’ll never see that in public,” she asserted.
Addressing her views on love, Malaika described herself as a “hardcore romantic” and a “typical Scorpio,” vowing never to give up on the idea of true love. However, she also emphasised her realistic approach, knowing when to draw the line. “I’ll never give up on the idea of true love, no matter what. I’m a typical Scorpio that way, so I’ll fight for love till the very end — but I’m also very realistic and know where to draw the line,” she added.
The couple’s rumored breakup first made headlines on May 31, with reports suggesting that they had parted ways amicably. A source close to the duo told PinkVilla, “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.”
As the rumors persist, both Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora appear focused on navigating their personal lives with dignity and privacy.
