Arjun Kapoor confirms breakup with Malaika Arora

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor recently addressed his rumoured breakup with Malaika Arora and confirmed that he is now single and the former couple has indeed broken up. Talking to fans at a Diwali bash in Mumbai, Arjun said that he is single after fans yelled out Malaika’s name from the crowd. Arjun was attending a Diwali party hosted by Raj Thackeray and was joined by his Singham Again co-stars Ajay Devgn, Tiger Shroff, and director Rohit Shetty, among other celebrities.

During the event, as Arjun took the microphone to speak, the crowd playfully started chanting Malaika’s name. Responding to this, Arjun quipped, “Abhi single hoon main, relax (I’m single now). He called me tall and handsome, so you guys thought he was talking about my marriage.”

This is the first time that Arjun has openly addressed his relationship status since the breakup rumours started a few months ago. Arjun and Malaika started dating in 2018, after her divorce with Arbaaz Khan. The duo often shared photos from their vacations and were usually seen together at parties.

Despite the rumours of their break up, Arjun was by Malaika’s side in September after the passing of her stepfather, Anil Mehta, offering support and standing with her during the last rites. Fans speculated that this indicated a reconciliation, but Arjun’s recent statement at the Diwali event leaves little room for doubt about their current status.

In a recent interview with Hello! Magazine, Malaika revealed her views on love and relationships, describing herself as a romantic at heart but also practical. “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 said.

On the professional front, Arjun will soon be seen as the antagonist Danger Lanka in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, which is set to release on November 1.
