As per a Deccan Chronicle report, a source had stated, "Malaika is no longer keen to hide her proximity to Arjun. When she was with Arbaaz, the Khan family, especially Salman, made their disapproval very clear. But now that she has broken away from Arbaaz, she sees no reason to be coy about her closeness to Arjun. Besides, Arbaaz is also seeing someone else now."
On June 26, 2018, Arjun Kapoor’s dadi, Nirmal Kapoor issued a “threat and a request, a bribe and a command” that he get married soon.

And Arjun captioned the pic as, “When ur Dadi’s gift is a threat and request along with a bribe and command all rolled into one!!! @nirmalkapoorbombay #bossgrandma”. Haha, isn’t it the most hilarious gift from a grandmother?
Speaking about the same in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Arjun stated, “Dadi has never articulated her feelings so firmly. Before this, it was all said in jest, this time she’s put a tick to it. And since she has few expectations from me, I intend to fulfil this demand at the right time with the right person.” During an interview for HT Cafe, Arjun was quoted as saying, "I'll get married when Rhea and Anshula do. It could take two, four or even six years, I don't know." (Also Read: Fans Want Parineeti Chopra And Arjun Kapoor To Get Married, Here's Their Hilarious Take On It)
