There were reports doing the rounds about Malaika dating Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor but the actress refuted the rumours saying that Arjun is just a good friend and people should not give a different meaning to it.
In a recent interview to DNA, Arbaaz Khan opened about Malaika and his present relationship status. He confirms dating rumours but denied being in committed relationship. "I am dating, yes. But we are not... As of now, there is still a long way to go," said Arbaaz. The actor in a puzzled manner said, "Not a bachelor, but I feel single. I am not in a relationship. As of now, I am like...".
When asked about dating the woman in her Instagram pictures, the Dabangg actor said: "Which one? If you are talking about Yellow, she is just a friend. She is somebody who I meet when I go to Goa. She owns a restaurant." Is she Romanian? "No, that’s another girl — Alexandria. That’s my friend," said the actor.
The actor also shared his feelings on second marriage. "I feel there is a time and an age for sowing your wild oats. I had that phase before I was 26 when I met Malaika. Before that, I was playing the field. I was not in committed relationships, I had a number of girlfriends. When I met Malaika, I felt the need to get married and after four years of dating, we got married when I was 30. I really don’t know whether I have it in me at this point to go through the entire scenario of commitment and giving it everything. The mindset right now, is that if somebody comes in my life, I will see it then…. Maybe even let it go on the way it is, rather than making any promises or commitments," Arbaaz said.
Even after separation, Malaika and Arbaaz have been spotted together at family get-togethers and parties.
