New Delhi: Malaika Arora, who is co-parenting her son Arhaan Khan with her ex-husband Arbaaz Khan, recently spoke about him. He is 20. At an event, Malaika admitted to not agreeing with Arbaaz when sharing responsibilities as a co-parent, however, she stated they had learnt to co-exist.
Arbaaz and Malaika got married in 1998. In March 2016, they made the announcement of their divorce, which was finalised in 2017. Malaika has rekindled her romance with Arjun Kapoor, whereas Arbaaz is seeing Italian model-dancer Giorgia Andriani.
Talking about co-parenting and being a single mother, Malaika said at the India Today Conclave 2023, “Co-parenting is always tough, you’re not always on the same page about a lot of things. Especially when you go your separate ways, there’s always something that doesn’t quite fit into the picture. But thankfully, both Arbaaz and me are better humans today, we’re better people today. We’re proud of the fact that we can co-exist, no love lost, and give our child all the attention that he needs, he deserves. We’re there for him every step of the way, irrespective of whether his parents are together. But, we are together as a unit. I think that’s what matters."
Malaika also revealed at the occasion that she had been advised not to drop the surname "Khan" after getting divorced.
She shared, “I had a lot of people tell me that I am making the biggest mistake of dropping the surname. Everybody said that ‘you don’t realise the weightage a surname has’. I have a lot of respect for my ex-in-laws and my ex-family. They have given me a lot of love. Just being able to drop that surname and go back to my maiden name, it gave me a sense of self. That’s what made me feel I could do anything or take on anything in life.”
Malaika Arora was last seen in the show 'Moving In With Malaika', which streamed on Disney+Hotstar.
