Tagged as one of the coolest moms, Malaika Arora dotes on her son, Arhaan Khan. She is not just an inspiration to her million fans but is also a superwoman, who has aced the role of a mother and has always been there for her 18-year-old son. In 2016, when Malaika Arora Khan had decided to drop 'Khan' from her surname after announcing her separation from actor, Arbaaz Khan, their fans were in complete shock.
After 18 years of togetherness, the couple was granted divorce in 2017. And after the divorce, Malaika was given the custody of their son, Arhaan. When Arhaan had turned 17 in 2019, Malaika had shared a collage of pictures with him and had written, "N just like that my baby boy turns 17. our firstborn. You are my strength and my weakness Arhaan and just the most loving, understanding and sensible. LOVE YOU (I will always grab you for my share of hugs n kisses. deal with it)."

This is your time to spread your wings n fly n soar n live all your dreams… miss you already #allmine." Malaika also posted a picture of Arhaan bidding goodbye to their pooch, Casper at the airport. Atop the picture, Malaika wrote, "Goodbyes are just the hardest."
