Be it attending the events, B-towns parties, family get-togethers with each other or going on secret vacations, Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor have been painting the town red with their mushy love. In 2019, Instagram pop-ups from Arjun and Malaika’s accounts, which could be read as "Happy bday my crazy, insanely funny n amazing @arjunkapoor love n happiness always" and "She has my heart… (literally)" had put an end to our wait as the lovebirds had finally confirmed their relationship. And since then, there has been no looking back for them as they don’t shy away from posting pictures with each other on social media and Instagram PDA.
On March 13, 2020, Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora had attended the birthday bash of their friend, Bunty Sajdeh at a Mumbai eatery. Malaika, like a true fashionista, made heads turn in a athleisure-party outfit which was a pair of black pants styled with a white crop top, black jacket and black heels. Arjun, like a doting boyfriend, escorted his ladylove to the car by holding her hand, post the party. Malaika and her ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan’s son, Arhaan Khan too, attended the bash.

In an interview with the Filmfare, Arjun Kapoor got candid about coming out in open on his relationship with Malaika Arora and how his family has been supportive of his choices. Speaking about how happy his family is with his relationship with Malaika, Arjun stated, “They are happy. That's the reason I have been able to come out. There is genuine happiness for me. I have been through hell. I have been through a roller-coaster... from the age of 10-11 till 33 today. My parents separated when I was around 11 years old. Today I have some stability in my life and if someone gives me happiness, my family won't be against it. I am genuinely happy. That is why a Friday at the box-office doesn't decide my life. Three years back, I had have been like, I am dying! What's gonna happen? Today, I am relaxed.”
Revealing what made him come out in the open about his relationship with Malaika Arora, Arjun Kapoor said, “We've come out because we feel the media has given us dignity. There's a certain understanding the media has... they've been respectful, kind, honest and decent about it. That is why I felt comfortable. You recoil when there's a certain "gandhagi" that comes with the territory. When purposely people irk you by saying, writing or asking things... there hasn't been any of that. Where the paps are concerned, we give them photos when walking in and out of a place. It is normal. We talk to them. There's a certain ease. I told them don't sit under the house just because it looks like we're hiding, when we're not. Let it be natural. Let it be normal. I don't want my neighbours being disturbed, I don't want her neighbours being disturbed. We're not doing anything wrong. I don't want that story being conveyed that we're still hiding, when we're not. They understood that.”
