The once much-adored Bollywood couple, Arbaaz Khan, and Malaika Arora divorced their marriage in 2017 after 19 years of togetherness. Arbaaz and Malaika splitting up was not a usual run-of-the-mill affair and they did not bring out all sorts of controversy despite people's tendency to gossip when celebrities break up, especially if they are still together in the public eye, the duo seems to have maintained their respect by staying away from publishing all sorts of details of their breakup but are civil and amicable when it comes to parenting their son Arhaan Khan.

 

Moving Forward with Respect and Dignity

During a recent interview, Arbaaz Khan spoke about the real events in their lives after the divorce had been filed. He equally stressed that even though things did not turn out well, they have towed the sustainable line of respecting each other and added, “We have been together for so many years and thus have so many memories. First of all, and most importantly, we share a child, and for this, enough respect is shown to each other.” He further said that they decided to complete the process of completing their marriage to an amicable separation with respect and dignity and bear in mind the best interest of our family.

 

Arhaan Khan: The Anchor in Their Relationship

Their marriage has been childless till they welcomed their son, Arhaan Khan, into this world. Arbaaz candidly talks about how he likes the way Arhaan dealt with all this growth with such maturity at such a young age. Arhaan did not give up easily, and he appreciated him by saying, ‘He is perfect, son.’ That is why I said I love the way he has handled all this.” Speaking of Arhaan, Arbaaz blessed him for being so positive and mentioned that he turned out to be the reason how he remains on talking terms with Malaika.

 

Embracing New Beginnings

Arbaaz and Malaika have since gone their separate ways, but the TLC still respect each other. Daughter and father Arbaaz, now happily married to Sshura Khan in 2023, having a long nikah ceremony after getting engaged in May 2013 still maintains a good relationship with his ex-wife Malaika’s family. Most of the time, he communicates with her relatives, and why he associates with them focuses on a friendly relationship despite the divorce.

Conclusion: A Journey of Family and Growth

Arbaaz and Malaika’s story is very much an example that often separations do not equal estrangements. Not only have they transformed what it is to co-parent peacefully, but they’ve also outlined how to treat each other with respect and help each other to stay healthy. Who wouldn’t want to emulate this couple and support their families to walk through the toughest times in life with integrity, kindness, and true love?
