Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor has officially confirmed his breakup with long-term girlfriend Malaika Arora, ending months of speculation about their relationship status. The announcement came during a Diwali party hosted by politician Raj Thackeray in Mumbai, where Kapoor subtly but humorously declared his newly single status.
While at the event, Kapoor was greeted by fans chanting “Malaika,” to which he responded with a playful yet clear statement: “Nahi abhi single hoon. Relax karo” (No, I’m single now. Relax). The actor’s comment left no ambiguity and quickly became a talking point among fans and media alike.
Reports of an amicable split between Kapoor and Arora initially surfaced in May, but until now, neither party had directly addressed the rumors. Kapoor’s light-hearted approach seems to reflect a positive outlook as he embraces single life and focuses on his career.
Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora first went public with their relationship in 2018, shortly after Arora’s divorce from ex-husband Arbaaz Khan. The couple became one of Bollywood’s most followed duos, often seen together at events and on social media, where they confirmed their relationship on Arora’s 45th birthday. While fans cherished their bond, it appears the romance has now come to an end.
On the professional front, Kapoor is gearing up for the highly anticipated release of Rohit Shetty’s “Singham Again”, scheduled to hit theaters on November 1, coinciding with Diwali celebrations. The film is part of Shetty’s popular cop universe, boasting an ensemble cast that includes Bollywood heavyweights such as Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tiger Shroff, and Jackie Shroff. Kapoor’s focus on his work hints that he’s ready for a fresh chapter, both personally and professionally.
The news of the split has certainly caused a stir, but fans are optimistic that both Kapoor and Arora will continue to shine in their individual journeys.
