"They also know that whenever I want to take a decision of that proportion, it'll be taken keeping them in mind, not too soon or late, just when I feel it's right," Arjun said, adding that he won't hide anything about his relationship with Malaika.
Rumors about Arjun, Malaika dating each other sparked in 2016
Rumors about Arjun and Malaika (46) dating each other surfaced soon after the latter got separated from her ex-husband Arbaaz Khan in 2016. The two then inadvertently confirmed the speculations about their relationship by making repeated public appearances and coming up with suggestive social-media posts. Talking about why they've been open about their relationship, Arjun said, "If you're given respect, you give it back."
Malaika and Arbaaz got divorced in May 2017
To recall, Malaika was previously married to actor-producer Arbaaz Khan. The two announced their separation in 2016 and got divorced in May 2017 after 19 years of marriage. Malaika and Arbaaz have a son together, named Arhaan (17).
'The media has been respectful and so have we'
Arjun added, "When there is a certain boundary drawn, you feel gracious. That's what happened in our case. The fact remains that the media has been respectful and decent, so have we...it's a mutual relationship." "If there is mud-slinging, you are not comfortable with it. If there is a certain ease in breathing, you feel comfortable. It's as simple as that," he concluded.
Arjun was last seen in Ashutosh Gowariker's 'Panipat'
Separately, on the work front, Arjun was last seen in Ashutosh Gowarikar's historical-drama film Panipat. He is currently working on an untitled film, also starring Rakul Preet Singh. He will also star in Dibakar Banerjee's upcoming black comedy film Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar.
