It all started with the couple announcing their separation in a joint statement, which left their fans heartbroken. It came after there were a lot of reports about Malaika being unhappy with Arbaaz’s unsuccessful career, her affair with a businessman, and Arbaaz’s family disapproving of her lifestyle, came into picture. Here’s what the couple mentioned in the statement:
“We have maintained a dignified silence till now but it is causing us too much confusion and is disturbing for our families. To put all of the speculation to rest, we are giving out this statement. People claiming to be our friends and sources have been speaking on our behalf giving out wrong, malicious information. They have maligned us for long and we have kept quiet and not said a word as it’s a personal matter between us. We have got a child and our families are involved, but just because we have not said anything till now, it doesn’t give anybody the license to speculate on any rubbish about us.”

“We know that there will be speculation, but it is disturbing to read that Malaika has approached a random divorce lawyer she doesn’t know at all. Nor has this lawyer got in touch with us ever. Whoever this person is, can lose their licence as it’s irresponsible to talk about people who are not your clients.”
Clarifying about their status, the statement mentioned:
“The truth is, we have taken a break, but that doesn’t mean people can presume, assume and speculate things of such malicious nature. We are taking out time to figure out our lives... Yes, it’s true that we are separated, but where our lives go and what transpires between us, it is for us to decide. Wherever it goes from here, we will talk about it when we are ready to.”
While Malaika moved out of Arbaaz’s house with her son Arhaan a few weeks after the couple issued this statement, there were constant rumours at the same time that they were trying to sort out their differences and might get back together. It was believed that their families, especially, Salman Khan and Amrita Arora, were making a lot of efforts to convince them to patch-up. But when Arbaaz was questioned about this in an interview, he said:
“At this point of time we are not together, we are separated, and that’s about it.”
