Malaika Arora, who has experienced both marriage and divorce with actor-producer Arbaaz Khan, recently shared valuable advice for married women and those contemplating marriage.
In a recent interview, she emphasized the importance of women maintaining their independence even after marriage. Speaking to *Curly Tales*, Malaika said, “Be independent. What is yours is yours, and what is mine is mine.” She explained that while marriage often encourages couples to merge their lives, it’s crucial to preserve one’s individual identity.
She continued, “It’s great to do things together, but that shouldn’t mean losing your own identity and adopting someone else’s. After all, you’re already taking on someone else’s last name. At the very least, keep your own bank account.”
Malaika Arora’s personal life has always been under the spotlight, particularly her marriage to Arbaaz Khan and her subsequent relationship with Arjun Kapoor.
Malaika and Arbaaz were married for nearly 20 years before they separated and divorced in 2017. They share a son, Arhaan. Malaika started dating Arjun Kapoor in 2016, and their relationship was recently confirmed to have ended after several years. Meanwhile, Arbaaz married makeup artist Sshura Khan in December 2023.
