The love stories steamed up in the tinsel town of Bollywood are filled with dates, adorable PDAs, and controversies. While some couples hold each other till the end to make their love story perfect and to make their name to the hall of fame, some celebrity couples decide to part away due to unavoidable reasons. One of those couples who seemed perfect till they parted ways is Malaika Arora and Arnaz Khan. One of the power couples of the industry needs no introduction. They are the most sought-after celebrities for relationship advice too. But after holding each other for decades, the couple decided to call it off in 2017:
Just like any couple, their story started with a coffee date but in an unusual way. A brand named Mr. Coffee approached Malaika Arora for a photoshoot where she first meet sturdy yet dashing-looking Arbaaz and felt the spark first.
Falling head over heels in their very first meet, the couple planned their future together. After that, they started going out on casual, fun dates and PDA became a casual thing for the couple.
Recalling the memory of their love, once while having an interview, Malaika revealed that “We both fell in love at the same time. But, I was the one who said that we should get married. Arbaaz did not propose to me."
As we know, interfaith marriage is one of the most sensitive thoughts in our society. But keeping all the hurdles on the bay, Malaika and Arbaaz who belong to two different religions just focused on their love and decided to tie knots.
On December 12, 1998, after five years of being in a steady relationship, Malaika and Arbaaz took vows in front of their friends and family in a church, in the morning. Following that was a nikah in the evening, and a lavish reception at night.
Though the wedding events were grand, the guest list was kept short as Malaika and Arbaaz are very private people.
In 2002, Malaika gave birth to a baby boy, and they became proud parents of baby Arhaan. Although Arhaan is the baby, Malaika considers handling Arbaaz a rather tough job.
After the trouble in their paradise started popping up when the rumors who extramarital affairs started popping up. While Arbaaz was linked with a girl named Yellow Mehra, Malaika grabbed headlines for her closeness with Arjun Kapoor, who dated her sister-in-law Arpita in past.
Looking at all the chaos and misunderstanding in their life, the couple found divorce, the best way to get out of all of this. Arbaaz made dub smashes to emote his thoughts but the mess is done and now it will be dusted.
It’s been 20 years now and the spark, the love, the bond has died. The Chhaiyya Chaiyya girl still looks smashing hot at 45, and Arbaaz’s filmy career couldn’t have been better. The couple officially got divorced on 11th May 2017 with mutual consent.
