When Arjun Spoke On His Breakup With Arpita Khan

As per reports, Arjun Kapoor was dating Salman's sister Arpita Khan. Arjun confessed to dating Salman's sister Arpita Khan. He said, "My relationship with Salman's sister began during the shooting of 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya'."

The two broke up before he made his debut, but he was very honest about this as well and addressed it well when asked in interviews.

In an interview with the Bombay Times, Arjun mentioned that this was his first serious relationship and hence it was special. "My first and only serious relationship so far was with Arpita Khan. We started seeing each other when I was 18 and it lasted for two years. I was also already attached to Salman bhai, but it was during the shooting of 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya' that our relationship started. I was scared of Salman bhai and went and told him and the entire family as I wanted them to know from me first. They were very kind about it. He was taken aback, but he respects people and relationships. In fact, he was partial in that relationship where he would always take my side," he said.

However, being a celebrity doesn't mean that relationships come easy for you. Arjun spoke about how life became disillusioned for him after they broke up.

"I was 140 kgs, was assisting Nikhil Advani in 'Salaam-E-Ishq' and had a girlfriend, would party and felt my life was headed in the right direction. I felt sorted and thought I would direct my film by 22, till she broke up with me and suddenly I was confused about my future. Even after breaking up, I would hang out with him (Salman Khan). He was my friend, my father figure, older brother, everything at that point. He was an older brother I never had and he made me realise how important it is to have an older brother," he confessed. Well, that's a tough confession to make, we have got to give him that!

Arjun then dated Malaika Arora. And during this tough phase of Malaika's life Arbaaz Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Salman Khan and even Arpita Khan have stood by her.

Arpita was also spotted at the Malaika's house. Arpita wore a white outfit and looked visibly disturbed as she got out of her car and walked towards the house.
