Bollywood’s former star actress Malaika Arora has once again captured public attention with rumors surrounding her personal life. Known for her stunning dance numbers and glamorous presence, Malaika has been the subject of speculation ever since her marriage to actor Arbaaz Khan, brother of Salman Khan, in 1998. The couple lived together for 20 years and welcomed two children before parting ways in 2017. Following her divorce, Malaika engaged in a high-profile relationship with young actor Arjun Kapoor, who is 12 years her junior. However, that romance also came to an end a few years ago, leaving her single.
Recently, reports have surfaced indicating that the 52-year-old actress is dating a new partner, who is notably 20 years her junior. The young man, Sorabh Bedi, is a model and television actor aged just 32. The dating rumors gained momentum when the two were spotted together at a party, sharing a hug and taking selfies. However, Sorabh has since dismissed these dating rumors, asserting that he and Malaika are merely good friends and nothing more.
In a recent interview, Sorabh elaborated on how their friendship developed. He credited two of his friends, Delnaz Daruwala and Wahbiz Mehtha, who introduced him to Malaika during his modeling days. “I met Malaika through my mentors. She is close to Delnaz and Wahbiz as well, which is how we became friends. There is nothing more between us,” Sorabh stated firmly.
Sorabh also addressed the impact of such rumors on individuals, especially women. He emphasized that before making assumptions about a relationship, people should think twice, as such speculation can lead to mental distress. “This isn’t the first time I’ve attended parties with Malaika. We have been going to events together for years. I have shared photos with her on social media before, but they didn’t go viral because I wasn’t well-known then. Now that I have some recognition, dating rumors are being created,” he lamented. He also highlighted that friendships between men and women should be respected, and not misconstrued.
Malaika Arora, who rose to fame in the 1990s, is renowned for her specialty in special songs. She became a household name with iconic tracks like “Chaiyya Chaiyya,” where she danced alongside Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. In addition to her Bollywood debuts, she made waves in the Telugu film industry with a special song in the 2007 film “Athi,” featuring Mahesh Babu. Today, she balances her career as a producer and television host alongside her acting endeavors.
As rumors continue to swirl about Malaika’s love life, her fans remain curious to see what the future holds for the beloved actress, whose career has spanned decades and continues to thrive in the competitive world of Bollywood.
