In a surprising turn of events, Bollywood star Arjun Kapoor has seemingly confirmed his breakup with Malaika Arora, ending months of speculation about the status of their relationship. Known for keeping their private lives guarded, both Arjun and Malaika have been discreet despite being one of Bollywood’s most-watched couples, with fans and media alike constantly analyzing their public appearances and interactions.
During a promotional event for Singham Again in the city, where he was seen with co-star Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor addressed a crowd that hinted at his relationship status. As the crowd called out Malaika’s name, Arjun responded with a straightforward, “Nahi abhi single hoon. Relax karo” (“No, I’m single now. Relax”), followed by a lighthearted interaction with the crowd. He humorously remarked, “Inhone ‘tall aur handsome’ bola, aisa lag raha hai ki shaadi ki baat kar rahe hain. Isliye maine bola relax karo pehle” (“He said ‘tall and handsome,’ it felt like he was talking about marriage, so I told him to relax”).
While the couple had always maintained a low profile in discussing their relationship, rumors of a split had circulated for some time. A close source revealed that both Arjun and Malaika decided to part ways with mutual respect and understanding. “They had a very special connection,” the insider shared. “Even though they are no longer together, they have agreed to remain respectful toward each other and avoid discussing their relationship publicly.”
Fans and well-wishers are expressing mixed emotions, with some saddened by the news while others respect their decision to maintain privacy and dignity. Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora, who made their relationship public after years of speculation, had been a prominent couple in Bollywood. Despite their breakup, they reportedly still hold each other in high regard and plan to keep the details of their personal lives private.
Arjun’s playful confirmation of his single status at the event marks the end of an era for the couple’s fans, who had admired the duo’s chemistry and mutual admiration. The Bollywood industry, too, seems to respect their decision to navigate the spotlight with grace.
