Actor Arjun Kapoor and his partner Malaika Arora have frequently faced criticism from online harassers. Towards the end of last year, there were speculations about Malaika’s pregnancy, which started circulating. In response, Arjun took to Instagram to vehemently refute these rumours. He expressed his frustration with the media for continuously disseminating falsehoods without facing any repercussions. In a recent interview, Arjun once again discussed the negative impact that false rumours have on him.

During an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Arjun expressed his views on negativity, stating, “It’s easier to engage in negativity.” He reiterated that he has always been transparent about both his personal and professional life. Arjun acknowledged that being in the spotlight as actors means that certain aspects of their personal lives may not remain entirely private. He acknowledged the curiosity surrounding their relationship, saying, “There is a certain level of public interest that exists, and as professionals, we have to accept and be okay with it.”

Arjun expressed that while there may still be some curiosity surrounding their relationship, he believes that the media plays a crucial role in reaching the audience. He emphasised the importance of media professionals being aware of their humanity. Arjun suggested that journalists should occasionally verify important information with them before publishing it. His intention was to ensure that facts are checked and not assumed, as sharing potentially life-altering information without verification can have significant consequences.

Arjun and Malaika have been together for more than five years. During an appearance on the show Koffee with Karan, Arjun explained why he didn’t make their relationship public right away. He stated, “Choosing to be with her is my decision, but I cannot expect everyone to understand it instantly. It takes time for a relationship to evolve. I had to gradually introduce our relationship to everyone, including the public. It’s not that we didn’t discuss it as a couple, but it involved taking small steps. We both understood that Malaika has her own life, with a son, and I come from a past that is aware of those aspects.”

Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora publicly acknowledged their relationship on Arjun’s birthday in 2019. Prior to being with Arjun, Malaika was married to Arbaaz Khan. After a marriage of 19 years, they legally separated in 2017. Together, Malaika and Arbaaz have a teenage son named Arhaan Khan.
