"Malaika and I have bypassed all that too. We have forgotten the past and realised that our entire life lies ahead. She has moved on, I have moved on. Where is the animosity or anger or frustration or anything like that? That’s gone."

Further, in the interview, Arbaaz Khan added that individuals need to be mature enough to keep aside their personal differences when it comes to co-parenting. Instead, they need to focus on their kids. The actor emphasised the fact that Arhaan Khan is his and Malaika Arora’s son, and it is their responsibility to take care of him. The doting daddy admitted that both he and Malaika are very much committed to giving their son everything that he needs. He said:
"For the sake of your child, at least, you can come together and create a scenario that is much needed. He (Arhaan Khan) is our child. We brought him into this world. It is our responsibility to take care of him."
In the same interview, Arbaaz Khan also reacted to people often stating that he and his ex-wife, Malaika Arora are putting up a show by celebrating their son, Arhaan Khan’s birthday even after their divorce. The actor slammed the same by stating that he and Malaika are no longer bothered by what people are saying or thinking about them.

Arbaaz Khan also added that he is glad that both his and Malaika Arora’s families are mature enough to deal with co-parenting. The actor admitted that they’re not like other individuals, who stop talking to each other after their divorce, as he thinks that in that scenario, kids suffer the most. Opening up about his son, Arhaan’s reaction to their divorce, Arbaaz admitted that the young kid had made peace with it a long time ago. Opening more about the same, Arbaaz stated that Arhaan respects his and Malaika’s decision to move on in their respective ways. He said:
"People are really naive if they think that Malaika and I have separated and we will only look out for ourselves. It doesn’t happen like that. If parents who are separated, stop talking to each other it might end up causing trauma to the child, maybe to some extent. Thankfully, our family doesn’t have that fear. Arhaan has accepted that his father has moved on, his mother has moved on. He is doing fine, too."
