Malaika Arora Drops Cryptic Note About Respect and Peace Amid Breakup with Arjun Kapoor

After ending her relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor in 2024, Malaika Arora has been posting thoughtful messages on social media. Her recent post hints at her focus on peace and self-respect.

Choosing Calm Over Drama

On Instagram Stories, Malaika shared a quote originally posted by Womantainment. It read, “The older you get, the more you choose calm over conflict and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerable to you, and your peace becomes your ultimate priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart, and soul.” Her followers quickly noticed the message. Many felt it reflected her emotional state after her recent breakup.

Mixed Reactions Online

Reddit users shared different opinions about Malaika’s post. One user said, “Thought her and Arjun would be endgame. Imagine Janhvi and Malaika as sisters-in-law.” Another person commented, “What she is realising in her 50s, I realised in my 20s. We are not the same.”
Someone else wrote, “She is still doing teenage stuff.”

Arjun Confirms They’ve Broken Up

Arjun Kapoor confirmed the breakup in early 2024 while promoting Singham Again. During an interaction with paparazzi, he clearly said,
“Nahin ab main single hoon, relax karo (No, I am now single. Relax).”

Malaika Reacts to Arjun’s Comment

When asked about Arjun’s statement, Malaika chose to stay private. She told, “I will never choose a public platform to talk about my personal life. So, whatever Arjun has said is entirely his prerogative.”

Malaika Talks About Independence

In a recent interview with Curly Tales, Malaika emphasized the importance of financial independence in relationships.

She explained, “Independent rakho baba (Be independent). Jo tera hai voh tera hai, jo mera hai voh mera hai (What is yours is yours, and what is mine is mine). I mean, when you get married or you’re with someone, you try to infuse… you know, try to fuse a situation where you want to make everything one. But I feel it’s very important to have your own identity.”

She also added, “It’s good that you’re doing things together but that doesn’t mean you kind of give up your entire identity and take on someone else’s. As it is you’re taking on somebody else’s last name, right? So I think the least you can do is hang on to your own bank account.”
