    Lost Love Stories : Malaika Arora And Arbaaz Khan

    Everyone wants to have a perfect love story, but do perfect love stories really exist? Love doesn’t come with a guarantee card and a warranty for several years. Love just happens!

    It comes with its own imperfections which seem rather perfect when the cupid strikes. Moreover, isn’t love all about accepting someone with their imperfections? Something worth pondering!

    Bollywood has transformed many of us into daydreamers and die hard romantics, to an extent where we idolize certain couples and are intrigued by relationships of the la la land!

    #LostLoveStories will bring you one love story that got lost in the seeds of time.

    Hot red stellatos, black leather tights and coloured hair bouncing in the air on an escalator is our first prominent image of Malaika Arora Khan from the most famous Punjabi Pop song of 90s, Gur Naal Ishq Mitha. As she raced through the song in lavender coloured lehenga and beautiful jewellery, her rather western moves in a very indie song became famous. She stole the show from Jas Arora who was a hottie back in those days.


    Next we know is Malaika became the Chhaiyya Chhaiya girl who could pull off a traditional Indian ghagra choli in the sexiest way possible and dance on the train top with King Khan. Nobody had heard her speaking much on silver screen, but thanks to M TV, VJ Malaika was a rage! She was a rage when she started a string of item numbers, especially Mahi Ve in 2002 from Kaante.

    This might come to you as a surprise, but the very innocent but sturdy looking Arbaaz Khan made his debut with a film called Daraar in 1996 where he played a psychotic wife beater. Take a seat and read the next line because the rather unacknowledged actor, whose career took a long time to pick pace, won a Filmfare Award for this performance. The first time we really saw some talent brewing out from Arbaaz was Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya where he played a possessive brother to Kajol in the film. That’s one performance where we clearly loved him more than Salman in the same film. His next memorable performance was in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na where he helps Imran Khan to run away from the jail on a horse to the airport to propose Genelia.
    Tides turned for him when he ventured into production in 2010 with Dabangg. Rest we know is history. He made Malaika a household name or say people better know her as Munni whose badnaam song in the famous film franchise is unforgettable. They rose together and struggled together.

    Both Malaika and Arbaaz hadn’t made it too big until they both ventured into production and Dabangg happened. They were always private about their personal life and it was only after film production that we started seeing this gorgeous looking couple out in public.

    The Coffee Date
    Ever wondered how they met?
    No it wasn’t a coffee date. Arbaaz and Malaika did an advertisement for a coffee brand Mr. Coffee in 1993, which was a little ahead of its times. They say it was love at first sight for them. She said, “I met Arbaaz for the first time while modelling for the MR coffee ad when I was 18. By the end of the shoot, we were fully in love with each other.”

    “We both fell in love at the same time. But, I was the one who said that we should get married. Arbaaz did not propose to me,” said Malaika in an interview back then.

    The Twin Wedding
    In an interview to TOI, Malaika spilled more beans on her relationship. She said, “Even before I had shot the MR coffee ad with him, Amu (Amrita Arora) and I had gone clubbing one night when we saw Arbaaz and his friend Sajid Khan DJing. My sister was nuts about Salman, just like all other girls, as he was a big star even then. But for me, when I saw Arbaaz, I told her, 'You girls like Salman right? I like him. He is my kind of guy.”

    December 12, 1998 was their big day. After a beautiful church wedding, they had a nikah with dear and near ones at the ceremonies.
    Malaika was never too much in the limelight post that while she had their baby Arhaan in 2002. The incredibly talented woman never attempted her luck at the movies while her husband despite hailing from a stellar film family (Arbaaz is Salman Khan’s brother and the son of iconic writer Salim Khan who wrote Sholay).

    She even confessed, “My mom would, of course, make me aware every single day that I was in love with a Muslim man from a filmy family, but I was madly in love. I didn't really date anyone till I met him.”

    Power Couple
    Love was intact and perhaps her statements were proving so. “He has done a lot of romantic things for me, but there is one thing that he keeps on saying and it is, 'baby we are getting old together'. So, I imagine myself getting old together with him."
    She was vocal about their relationship of 17 years and said, “His ability to laugh at himself is what I like. And, what irritates me is that he is untidy.”

    Arbaaz also made sure to compliment his immensely sexy wife all the time. “She plays every role of women brilliantly. She is very balanced with that. But, she does not accept her faults easily.”

    Arbaaz sometimes sounded like this love guru as he was quoted, “It’s very important to give each other some space. If you smother anyone, somewhere or the other, it pressurises the person. If you love someone truly, set them free.” He was always praises about her, “I’m myself when I’m with Malaika. There’s no pretence. I’m not trying to be someone else to please her. I just show what I am and she loves me for just being me. I love the way she managed to balance time between career and family and I can tell you she has sacrificed work for family too. She is the oxygen that we breathe. I love how she does things effortlessly. I’m really lucky to have her in my life and she makes every day special.”

    The duo also appeared as hosts on the show Power Couple where they mentored couples and were quite charismatic on TV.
    They took their romance to the next level when they renewed their wedding wows on their 10th anniversary.

    The ‘other’ person
    Trouble in their paradise popped up when Malaika was linked to Arjun Kapoor who has previously dated her sister in law Arpita Khan Sharma. On this she broke her silence and said, “Arjun is somebody I have known for a long time. He’s a very good friend of mine. Unfortunately, people misconstrue things, which is very sad because then an awkwardness seeps into the relationship.”

    Arbaaz too was linked to a girl called Yellow Mehra and his Instagram is proof of it.

    Malaika and Arbaaz have filed for divorce despite maintaining dignified silence and being spotted at family events and pictures. Malaika is still said to be dating Arjun and she wants the custody of her son. Arbaaz made dubsmashes to emote his thoughts but the mess is done and now it will be dusted.

    According to a report published in a gossip tabloid online, Malaika met with her lawyer Vandana Shah, all the legal proceedings are being taken care of and apparently the actress has made 3 claims that she will address in the divorce petition.
    1. “I want to divorce Arbaaz because our marriage has failed to give me any financial stability.”
    2. “My husband and his family want that I start leading a simple and domestic life, which I will not.”
    3. “I shall never forbid my son from meeting his father after the divorce, but I should get his custody at any cost whatsoever.”
    While Salim Khan dismissed the question saying, "I am a writer, don't ask me about anyone's love affair or break-up reports. I never interfere in the life of my kids. I don't want to talk about it." Malaika's mother was also hesitant to answer the question and said, "They are two grown up adults. It is their business. I don't want to get into it. I don't want to talk to the press.''

    It’s been 20 years now and the spark, the love, the bond has died. The Chhaiyya Chaiyya girl still looks smashing hot at 45, and Arbaaz’s filmy career couldn’t have been better. The couple officially got divorced on 11th May 2017 with mutual consent. Dignified silence is often the best reply to slander.
