The viral video of their interaction sparked a wave of positive reactions online. Many users appreciated the maturity shown by both Arjun and Malaika.

Later in the evening, the former couple were seen in a casual chat with Homebound director Neeraj Ghaywan, making the moment even more notable as one of their rare appearances together since their separation.
A Relationship That Ended Gracefully
Arjun and Malaika began dating around 2018, often seen vacationing together and sharing glimpses of their love on social media. While they never spoke openly about their relationship during its early phase, they eventually became more public.
In late 2023, Arjun Kapoor confirmed his single status at a public event, saying, "Nahi abhi single hoon. Relax karo (No, I'm single now. Relax)."
Reacting to Arjun’s statement, Malaika Arora told Etimes, prerogative. I just want to say that, yes, it has been a very trying year for various reasons.”
Their interaction at Homebound’s screening only reaffirmed that both have chosen to move forward with dignity—and mutual goodwill.
