Malaika Arora reveals her decision to marry at 25 to Arbaaz Khan
Malaika sat down for an interview with Barkha Dutt and recalled how she had made the decision to get married at 25 to the first guy she ever dated. Her mom had reacted strongly and had advised her to go out, explore the world, and not get married to the first guy she ever dated, who was Arbaaz Khan. Malaika had told her mother to chill and said:
“My mom would always say, ‘Go out there, enjoy your life, and please don’t marry the first guy you date’—which I did. I married the first guy I ever dated. She couldn’t understand why I would do that. She said, ‘If you do that, how will you ever know what’s out there?’ And I was like, ‘Mom, chill now.’ But she has always been someone who encouraged us to live and dream. She never stopped us from doing anything.”
