Personal life: Malaika got married to Arbaaz when she was 25
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Malaika shared the reason behind getting married at 25, she said, "Not that I have grown up in a background where I was told 'Oh you have to get married at this age'. I was told to live my life, go out enjoy, meet more people, and have more relationships, I was told all of that. Yet, I don't know what got into my head, I said by 22-23 I want to get married. No one forced me but it was what I needed to do right now because it was the best option I had at that moment."
On divorce
She said, "When I decided to get divorced, I don't think there were too many women in the industry getting divorced and moving on. I felt, for me, for my personal growth, my choice, I had to feel okay within if I had to make my kid happy and make my kid flourish in his space. So, that's what I did," she said. Malaika said that everyone looks down upon divorce but for her, she "had to feel settled and happy to make anyone around me happy. It starts with me."
