The actor responded by saying that he had already talked about the matter in 2014 when he was still getting used to the circumstances following the death of his mother. So, in his mid-twenties, he felt lonely coming home to an empty house.

Arjun Kapoor embraces self-care over loneliness amid life’s challenges

Arjun acknowledged that being 'selfish' can occasionally be perceived negatively and said he felt compelled to concentrate on looking after himself. He added, though, that it was a reaction to what he had experienced rather than selfishness. Dealing with the numerous issues that had impacted his life and relationships was more important than feeling isolated or lonely. In his words:

"I think today, like I say this, I needed to just take care of myself being selfish is looked at slightly in the wrong way, but I guess it's not selfish. It's just I was not okay because of other things it was not the loneliness or me being alone it was just a lot that's happened in my life and relationships."

According to the Gunday actor, confronting loneliness if it's making someone feel uneasy is critical. But extrapolating it to a connection with another person is incorrect.

"Whether you're in a relationship or otherwise, it's very tricky to speak about it and know because I think I've got to respect the way things have been.

In July, murmurs of Arjun and Maliaka's separation made rounds. According to Pinkvilla, Malaika and Arjun's love had expired, and they went their separate ways. However, they have a special space in each other's hearts. In fact, the couple has chosen to separate, but they do not want to violate each other's personal space.

There was a time when Arjun and Malaika were inseparable. When they were even hiding their relationship from the media, they would find ways to drop hints about them being together as a couple. However, things have changed, and their separation buzz was confirmed when Arjun and Malaika attended India Couture Week 2024 simultaneously. However, Malaika avoided looking at Arjun when he walked down the ramp, and the former couple sat at a distance.

The Singham Again actor went on to say that a number of things occurred in between those various stages of his life. Although loneliness no longer plagues him as it once did, he is making an effort to improve. On the work front, Arjun Kapoor is seen in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again, co-starring Ajay Devgn, Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone in significant roles.
