Back in 2019, Bollywood actors Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor made their relationship official after dating for a couple of years. That news made a lot of headlines with people talking about the age gap between them. However, the couple never had an issue with it.

Addressing her 10-year age gap with partner Arjun Kapoor, she told Brides Today, “Our world is so obsessed with tags.”
“There is an age difference, but it has never been an issue between us. I think he is insanely wise for his age, and that he has a very deep and strong soul. He is someone who’s very liberated and extremely caring. I don’t think they make men like that anymore. I could go on and on, but I admire these qualities the most.”
On her reality TV show, ‘Moving In With Malaika’, her close industry friend Farah Khan also touched the topic of her getting married for the second time to Arjun. Even though the ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ dancer didn’t deny it, she also didn’t reveal any details about it.

But now, the actor has spoken about taking their relationship to the next level and marrying Arjun Kapoor.
“I feel like I am in my prime right now, and I want to work like this for the next 30 years. I don’t want to take a backseat; I want to explore so many businesses, I want to travel, and I would love to set up a home with Arjun and take our relationship to the next level because I think we both are ready for it.”

When asked if marriage is on the cards, Malaika said, “Of course, I have thought about it.”
“People think that I might be cynical about getting married again, but that’s far from true. I believe in the institution, I believe in love and companionship…all of it. I can’t answer when I will get married again, because I believe in leaving some aspects of one’s life as a surprise and not planning too much. Planning things constantly sucks the joy out of life.”
Sharing her two cents on relationships in general, the actor said, “It might sound cliché, but when I was very young, someone said to me that a relationship is like a plant. You plant the seed and you have to water it for it to grow.”
“So a relationship is no different, you can’t resort to shortcuts or quick fixes. It is important to understand and appreciate each other, to communicate well, but we often forget to do that. I feel partners should also be able to enjoy each other’s silences as well as have shared interests. Acceptance without the ego-tussle is important.”
