Malaika Arora talks about relationship

However, another video shows, Malaika was seen passing by Arjun while he was taking a selfie with a fan. Arjun safely placed his hand behind her without touching her to shield her from the crowd, Malaika did not acknowledge him. She walked straight ahead without looking back at Arjun, this confirmed their breakup reports.

Amid the ongoing rumours surrounding her relationship with Arjun, Malaika recently spoke the ongoing chatter with Hello magazine and said, "I have somehow built a mechanism — or shield, I would say — around me where I don't let the negativity through anymore. I've insulated myself from it. Whether it's people, a work environment, social media or trolls. The minute I feel that energy, I recoil instantly. It's something I've learned to do over time. It would get to me earlier and I would lose sleep over it. I'd be lying if I said things don't affect me at all — I'm human too and so I will cry, break down and have all the emotions associated with being trolled. But you'll never see that in public."

When asked about love, Malaika said, "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."

Work front

Arjun Kapoor will be seen in Ajay Devgn-Rohit Shetty's 'Singham Again', scheduled for release this August.
