Earlier this year, sources confirmed that Arjun and Malaika had decided to part ways but would maintain a dignified silence about their relationship. According to Pinkvilla, “Malaika and Arjun had a very special relationship, and both of them will continue to hold a special place in each other’s hearts.” The decision to separate was reportedly mutual as quoted by the media portal.
