Television personality Malaika Arora has given a hint about her current relationship status just days after her ex-boyfriend, actor Arjun Kapoor, confirmed he is single. Malaika shared her thoughts on Instagram, posting a playful story that caught the attention of her fans.
In her Instagram Story, Malaika re-shared a post that asked about her relationship status with three options: “in a relationship,” “single,” and “hehehe.” The third option, “hehehe,” was highlighted, and Malaika simply reposted it without any additional comment. Her cryptic response left fans wondering about her personal life.
This comes less than a month after Arjun Kapoor publicly addressed his relationship status. During a Diwali party at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park last month, Arjun was met with cheers from the crowd calling out Malaika’s name. He responded by saying, “Nahi abhi single hoon. Relax karo (No, I’m single now. Relax).” He humorously added, “Inhone ‘tall aur handsome’ bola, aesa lagraha hai ki shaadi ki baat karrahe hai. Isliye maine bola relax karo pehle (He said ‘tall and handsome,’ I felt he was talking about marriage. So I said relax first).”
Earlier this year, sources revealed to Pinkvilla that Malaika and Arjun, who began dating in 2018, had ended their relationship but would continue to hold a special place for each other. “They have chosen to part ways and will maintain a dignified silence in this matter,” the source said, emphasizing that the couple would not engage in public discussions about their split.
Despite keeping their relationship largely private, Malaika and Arjun shared sweet moments on social media, often posting pictures from their vacations and exchanging birthday wishes. After Malaika’s father, Anil Mehta, passed away in September, Arjun was seen visiting her, showing his continued support despite their breakup.
Malaika was previously married to actor and film producer Arbaaz Khan. The two were married from 1998 to 2017 and share a son, Arhaan Khan. The end of her relationship with Arjun marks another chapter in her personal life, but her recent Instagram post suggests she is keeping her options open while maintaining a lighthearted approach to her status.
