However, after playing a good game of hide and seek for the longest, the couple finally opened up about their relationship. A couple of days ago, on Arjun's birthday, Malaika even shared a mushy picture with the man of her life. And we cannot wait for them to take the nuptial plunge.
Since the two started dating, the rumours of their marriage keep on making the rounds. Recently, in an interview with Filmfare, Arjun denied it all, and shared, "I am not getting married. Malaika and I have to still discover each other in public space and enjoy the comfort of being a couple. We need to ease. We need to take our mind off this pressure of getting married. Sometimes you just need to be in a relationship. You need to live it; you need to enjoy it for what it is, rather than what it should be according to people. We are at ease with each other."

We completely agree with Arjun that it is really important to discover each other before discovering the location you need to tie the knot at. And as far as Malaika is concerned, she has already a lot going on in her life, but her number one priority is her son, Arhaan. In an interview with the Bombay Times, she had shared about the same, and ha stated, "Arbaaz and I have moved on, amicably. We have to be sensitive to our child (Arhaan) and his needs. When we parted ways, I felt vulnerable, though I am not a vulnerable person. I didn't know which direction I wanted to move into. I was just sure that I have to give my child a stable environment, and to date, it has been my number one priority. Gradually, one thing led to another and now, things are how you see them today. I have to give my son a lot of credit for that."
She further shared, "He has been very understanding and supportive of me. That was essential for me. My happiness matters the most to him and his happiness, to me. He has been instrumental in shaping my life. There were really no plans of being in another relationship, but things happened organically. We're now in a phase of our life where we need to give our relationship that respectability by acknowledging each other's presence."

Malaika had also talked about her relationship and had stated that it doesn't make her any less of a mother, "Having a relationship doesn't change anything for me as a parent. I'm still my son's concierge service for everything like every mother is. How am I any less of a mother then? In fact, as a single parent, you tend to overcompensate to ensure the kid doesn't feel an absence in his life. Arbaaz and I have parted as a couple, but we make sure nothing affects our son. It's a lot better this way. For the rest, time is the best healer."
In another interview with Filmfare, Arjun had spilled the beans about his relationship with Malaika. He had shared, "I don't have anything to discuss. I have nothing to hide. What the world is seeing, they are seeing. However, I have no desire to justify my personal life beyond a point. It is important to have good people around me and I feel fortunate that I have such individuals in my life."
Arjun had also opened up about his bond with Malaika, and had shared, "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."
