Arjun Kapoor recently addressed rumours about his relationship status with television personality Malaika Arora, putting an end to ongoing speculation.
The actor made his statement during a Diwali party hosted by politician Raj Thackeray at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park on Monday. Kapoor, who attended the event with the team of his upcoming film Singham Again, responded to the crowd’s cheers of Malaika’s name, saying with a smile, “Nahi abhi single hoon. Relax karo (No, I’m single now. Relax).” He joked further with the crowd, explaining that a comment about him being “tall and handsome” sounded like marriage talk, prompting his relaxed response.
The couple, who began dating in 2018 after Malaika’s split from her ex-husband Arbaaz Khan, officially confirmed their relationship in 2019. Despite the public spotlight, they have kept a low profile, occasionally sharing photos from vacations and celebrating each other’s birthdays.

Earlier this year, a Pinkvilla report revealed that while Malaika and Arjun had shared a meaningful relationship, they have now chosen to go their separate ways and intend to maintain privacy on the matter. “They have chosen to part ways and will maintain a dignified silence in this matter,” the report stated.
Arjun Kapoor has a busy schedule ahead with Singham Again, where he will take on an antagonist role alongside a star-studded cast, including Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. Directed by Rohit Shetty, the third instalment of the popular Singham franchise is set to release this Diwali, promising high-octane action for fans of the series.
Malaika, meanwhile, remains focused on co-parenting her son Arhaan with her ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan. Despite their recent breakup, Arjun was seen supporting her last month following the passing of her father, Anil Mehta, highlighting the respectful bond the former couple intends to keep.
