Arjun Kapoor Says He Will Be There For Ex-Girlfriend Malaika In Good & Bad Times

Mumbai: Actor Arjun Kapoor recently opened up about why he stood by Malaika after her father’s death, despite breaking up with her.

Speaking on Figuring Out With Raj Shamani, Arjun shared that regardless of his relationship status, he will be there for his former girlfriend in good and bad times.

“In life, without going into one instance, I’d like to say when what happened with Khushi, Janhvi, there is an instinct and impulse. In this case also, there is an instinct and impulse. If I formed an emotional bond with somebody, I’d always lie to believe that I’ll be there regardless in the good and the bad… I’m not somebody who is doing this for all and sundry. If I feel an emotion with someone, it will be there for life,” he said.

The actor also opened up about why his relationships doesn’t work and stated that he has a fear of loss.

“I think I have a fear of loss. It’s not commitment phobia, there is a difference. I always feel my mom left me, my father made a choice…So there’s a fear of loss that exists. There’s a feeling that eventually (everyone will leave). I’m trying to work on it. When anything happens, I feel this will end too. Ek subconscious cheze hai jo bhaari padhti hai mujhe (It’s a subconscious thing that costs me). I, may be, could have wonderful relationships with certain girls, but I didn’t give it a shot because I didn’t want to let them in. I thought what is she point, she will leave,” shared the actor.

Malaika and Arjun started dating in 2018 after the former’s divorce from Arbaaz Khan.

In October this year, Arjun, during a Diwali party in Mumbai, announced that he is single.

The actor had said, “Nahi abhi single hoon. Relax karo (No, I’m single now. Relax).”

On Shamani’s podcast, Arjun also spoke about Salman Khan and said that he is a person with a lot of warmth.

“He (Salman) is not a bully. Anybody who has a tough image… When you are not always openly warm in the first few minutes, you feel they are being a certain way. There is a lots of warmth to that man. It’s just he might not give it in the first second. But you will have to allow that to happen,” Arjun stated.

“He (Salman} has always looked at cinema as an audience’s medium, he has never looked at it only as an artiste. Even today, when he does stage shows and hosts Bigg Boss one can see that these are mass mediums. He operates for the masses. He has worked for the audience and then he has built that audience. Maybe this comes to him because he is grown up around Salim-Javed. He put it to use in mainstream cinema.”

Arjun Kapoor has been lauded for his impressive performance in Rohit Shetty’s recent cop universe film ‘Singham Again.’
