Malaika Arora has averred that she was not the number one for Arbaaz Khan’s family, however they endorse her just for the sake of their son, Arhaan. During a conversation with Karan Johar on her latest show, Moving In with Malaika, she mentioned about it.
In one of the latest episodes, Malaika spoke about her almost fatal accident and this was when the Khan family appeared to see her. Karan said, “I remember what was interesting which I took back home with me. After your accident the whole family showed up. I mean they were there. Some roots are forever.”
Malaika then added, “I may not be their number one person on their list but they do it because Arhaan is there. That’s the right thing to do.”
Having tied the knot in 1998, Malaika and Arbaaz got hitched in 1998 and then announced separation in March 2016 and got divorced legally May 2017.
Malaika in a conversation with Farah Khan said, “When I was wheeled out one of the first faces that I saw was actually Arbaaz, at that moment. And he kept asking me, ‘Can you see? How many numbers? How many fingers?’ And I was like ‘why is he doing this?’ It was very strange.”
She continues, “For a second, I was like okay ‘have I gone back in time?’ Something that really sticks out is in difficult times, you know that irrespective whatever it may be, past, present, future, jo bhi ho (whatever happened), the way he was there.”
