Amid Break-up, Father’s Death, Malaika Arora Says 2024 ‘Taught To Trust Self More’
Actor and model Malaika Arora shared a heartfelt note on Instagram on Monday, reflecting on the challenges and growth she experienced in 2024. The year, marked by personal losses and significant changes, has left her with a renewed sense of self-trust and focus on well-being.
In her Instagram Stories, Malaika reshared a note that read: “I don’t hate you, 2024, but you were a difficult year, full of challenges, changes, and learning. You showed me that life can change in the blink of an eye and taught me to trust myself more. Above all, you made me understand that my health—whether physical, emotional, or mental—is what really matters. There are things I still can’t understand, but I believe that with time, I will understand the reasons and purposes of everything that happened.”
The emotional post comes days after Malaika addressed her ex-boyfriend Arjun Kapoor’s public remark about being “single.” In a recent interview, Malaika declined to delve into personal details, stating, “I will never choose a public platform to talk about my personal life. So, whatever Arjun has said is entirely his prerogative.”
For the uninitiated, 2024 has been a tumultuous year for Malaika. She lost her father, Anil Arora, and ended her seven-year relationship with Arjun Kapoor. Despite their breakup, Arjun reportedly stood by Malaika during her period of grief.
The couple, who began dating in 2018—one year after Malaika’s divorce from Arbaaz Khan—was known for their candid displays of affection on social media. However, their relationship ended just before Malaika’s father passed away.
At a Diwali bash hosted by Raj Thackeray, Arjun addressed speculation about his relationship status, telling the media, “Nahin, ab main single hoon, relax karo (No, I am now single. Relax).”
While the year has tested her resilience, Malaika’s reflections underline her commitment to prioritizing her health and emotional well-being. Her note captures a sentiment of hope and acceptance as she moves forward, trusting time to bring clarity to life’s unresolved challenges.
