Why is Malaika Arora Khan Up in the Air Amidst Divorce Rumours?

 

There is a price one must pay for being a celebrity. The job doesn’t come easy as the whole world stands to scrutinize the minutest detail in the celeb’s life. Every word they say, every picture that gets clicked speaks volumes, which get interpreted and then reinterpreted and then printed as news!
The curious case of Malaika Arora Khan and Arbaaz Khan’s alleged separation and quite possibly divorce too in the near future has been cloaked with scepticism and doubt now as Malaika Arora recently posted a picture of herself looking quite happy, as she buckles herself up in an aircraft and flies off to an unknown destination. Malaika posted the picture on her Instagram and captioned it “Up in the air”.
While reports suggest that it is Malaika who wants a divorce, the couple have still not made anything official. As per reports inBollywood Life, the actress is adamant on filing for divorce at the earliest as she feels she has been singlehandedly funding her kid’s education and other requirements, without Arbaaz’s support. That is a rather strange accusation, considering that the Khandaan is very notably wealthy and quite supportive of one another!
Wonder what is the actual reason!
Over the last few months, Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan have been subject of fevered speculation about their marriage. Malaika and Arbaaz have not addressed the topic publicly, however, the latter has regularly been updating his social media pages rejecting divorce rumours.
However, if recent reports are anything to go by, Malaika has allegedly filed for divorce from Arbaaz. Additionally, according to this detailed report by Mumbai Mirror, Malaika isn’t willing to listen to her family and friends, especially Salman Khan who has been trying to mend bridges between the two for some time now.
Meanwhile, as divorce rumours continue to swirl around Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora, the actor producer’s father and noted scriptwriter Salim Khan refused to comment on their relationship, saying he doesn’t interfere in the personal lives of his children.Malaika has been missing from a lot of family events off late, and this has given more fuel to the rumours. She missed sister Amrita Arora’s birthday party in Dubai and was also a no-show at sister-in-law Arpita Khan Sharma’s baby shower recently.
“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,” Salim told PTI.
Malaika’s mother Joyce Polycarp, too, isn’t willing to speak on the issue. “They are two grown-up adults …it is there business. I don’t want to get into it. I don’t want to talk to the press,” she said when reached for comments about divorce reports.
Rumours of a split between Malaika and Arbaaz, who have been married for 18 years, started emerging from the time the couple stopped coming together on a popular reality show, Power Couple. Only Arbaaz was shooting for the show while Malaika came only at the very end.
Malaika and Arbaaz have a 13-year-old son Arhaan. With so many Bollywood couples calling it quits recently, (Katrina and Ranbir, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, Farhan Akhtar and Adhuna), maybe it is safe to say that 2016 is a bad year for relationships?
