Arjun Kapoor Shares Marriage Plans After Malaika Arora Split

The Bollywood actor addresses future relationships during film promotions.

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor has recently shared insights about his future marriage plans following his breakup with actress Malaika Arora, during the trailer launch of his upcoming film, ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’. After confirming their split—which had been generating buzz for months—Kapoor found himself addressing questions about his personal life at the promotional event for his film.

When asked about his marriage timeline, Kapoor responded, "Jab hongi tab aap sabko bata dunga. Aaj toh film ko discuss karne ka aur celebrate karne ka mauka hai. So let’s talk about the film. I think I have allowed enough conversation and chatter around my personal life. When the time is right, mujhe koi jhijak nahi hogi. Aap sab jaante ho how I am as a person. So right now, let’s celebrate Mere Husband Ki Biwi, fir meri biwi ka jab waqt aayega tab uske baare mein baat kar lenge". (When it happens, I will let everyone know. Today is an opportunity to discuss and celebrate the film, so let’s talk about it.)

The actor’s relationship with Malaika Arora began back in 2018 and blossomed publicly, as the couple often shared affectionate posts during their time together. Their romance had become one of Bollywood's most celebrated couples, but the duo officially parted ways around late 2024, with Kapoor announcing at various public events—including during the promotions of ‘Singham Again’—that he is now single. Fans, surprised by the news, frequently chanted Arora's name during these events, prompting Kapoor to confirm his status with, "Nahi, abhi single hoon. Relax karo" (No, I'm single now. Relax.).

Meanwhile, Arora expressed her wish for privacy post-breakup. She revealed to Etimes, "I am a very private person, and there are certain aspects of my life I don’t want to elaborate on. I will never choose a public platform to talk about my personal life. So, whatever Arjun has said is entirely his prerogative. I just want to say, yes, it has been a very trying year for various reasons. I think it’s time for all of us to move on from whatever transpired last year. I am ready for the new year and a fresh start in my life." This sentiment reflects the difficult but forward-looking perspective both actors seem to be adopting.

On the work front, Arjun Kapoor is gearing up for the release of ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’, which features co-stars Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film's comedic premise revolves around his character's complicated love life, which ironically mirrors Kapoor's own recent relationship experiences. The film is set to hit theaters on February 21, 2025, and the excitement seems palpable as audiences are eager to see the dynamic between the lead actors.

While both Kapoor and Arora navigate their single lives, the discussion surrounding their breakup continues to buzz within Bollywood circles, with fans expressing support for both individuals. The discourse often reflects admiration for their past relationship, underscoring the impact they had as a couple over the years.

At the core of this situation lies Arjun Kapoor's responsiveness to the media and fans, marking a distinct shift from public speculation to personal clarity. "When the time is right, I’ll have no hesitation," he mentioned, assuring fans of his candidness as he embraces whatever future endeavors await him, both personally and professionally.

With 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' on the horizon, Arjun Kapoor’s current focus is unequivocally on his film and its promotional activities, as he emphasizes the importance of celebrating moments from his work rather than dwelling on his past personal life. Fans and followers alike are eager to see how this will reflect in his upcoming film, promising laughter and intrigue—ultimately paving the way for Arjun's next chapter, whatever it may hold.
