Arjun Kapoor addresses false rumours about Malaika Arora’s pregnancy, says it’s easier to sell ‘negativity’
Arjun Kapoor urged the press to reach out to him and Malaika Arora before reporting ‘very important’ updates about their lives. He was making a reference to the false rumours of Malaika’s pregnancy that did the rounds last year.
Actor Arjun Kapoor and his partner Malaika Arora have often been targetted by trolls. It was in November the last year when rumours about Malaika being pregnant began circulating. The actor had taken to Instagram to slam the rumours. He said that for far too long, the media has gotten away with reporting falsehoods without any consequences. In a new interview, Arjun again addressed how false rumours affect him.
Talking to Bollywood Bubble, Arjun said, “Negativity is easier to do.” Arjun said multiple times that he has never hidden anything about his personal or professional life, and added, “I think it gets people to pay attention, because that’s been building for a while. Listen, we are actors, our personal life is not always very private. There is a certain amount that exists and you have to be okay with it already joining the profession.”
“There might be that element that remains, but I think we rely on you all to reach the audience. We need you all to be at least cognizant of the fact that we are human beings. So, check with us once in a while if you’re going to write something that is very, very important. At least do that much, and I think that was all that I did. It was more about that it should be checked; it should not be assumed. You should not put something that can be life-altering out there,” he continued.
Arjun and Malaika have been in a relationship for over five years now. During his appearance on Koffee with Karan, Arjun shared why he didn’t make their relationship public immediately. “It is my choice to be with her, but I cannot expect everyone to understand. It has to be allowed to grow. I cannot expect everyone to understand easily. Darja dena padta hai, and I had to ease everyone into it including the public eye. It’s not that we didn’t talk about it as a couple. But there are baby steps. There is a basic understanding that she has had a life, she has a son, and I’m coming from a past that is aware of that,” he had said.
Malaika and Arjun Kapoor made their relationship official back in 2019 on Arjun’s birthday. Malaika was previously married to Arbaaz Khan. After 19 years of marriage, they officially divorced in 2017. Malaika and Arbaaz have a teenage son, Arhaan Khan.
