Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan made the headlines when they announced their decision to get a divorce earlier this year. While speculations arose with people wondering what the reason could be, rumours spread that the split happened due to Malaika's alleged closeness with actor Arjun Kapoor. Rumours of their link-up have been doing the rounds for quite a while. Now, as per reports, the two stars have decided to maintain a distance from each other.
A source recently spoke to a leading daily and revealed, "Malaika avoids parties if Arjun is attending one, or sometimes they make sure that they come in and go out at separate times if it is imperative that Malaika has to attend. When there is nothing going on between them now, why should they be written about together? And this is one such way of ensuring this."
Earlier at an event with Bipasha Basu and Sussanne Khan, Malaika had slammed a reporter after having to deal with an uncomfortable question about Arjun Kapoor. When she was asked how she dealt with the link up rumours between her and Arjun Kapoor, the actress said, "Seriously? Talk about us...we are three independently wonderful and amazing women, talk about that. Why don’t you talk about the fact when we meet, what all happens. Everybody is laughing, happy and talking to us. Talk about that...I think that’s more interesting, right? Gossip karne ki kya zarurat hai?”
