Who is Malaika Arora dating now?
According to reports, Malaika is dating Harsh Mehta, who is 19 years younger than her. While the two have never confirmed their relationship, photos of the two attending concerts, going for spiritual outings, and more have surfaced online.
With those photos going viral on the internet, fans have speculated that Malaika is dating Harsh Mehta.
Who is Harsh Mehta?
For those who don’t know, Harsh Mehta is a businessman by profession. As per the reports, he is 33 years old and belongs to a well-to-do family hailing from Mumbai. Reports claim that he is a diamond merchant in the financial capital of India. He is also said to be the director of Sancus Management.
Why is Malaika Arora dating younger men?
The question has created considerable buzz among fans about why Malaika is dating younger men. Many media reports claim that the actress is dating men younger than her to increase her brand value. However, in a podcast with Siddharth Kannan, a veteran journalist opened up on the matter and gave her two cents.
Aastha Atray said in the podcast that it’s not only about women who are dating younger men, but it is vice versa too. Even men of 40 years of age date 20-year-old women. They marry them. There is no name for such people. Such men are insecure, who want to date women younger than themselves.
She says that Malaika isn’t interested in dating older men because she is more mature now and can take care of herself. She earns well and is financially independent.
If a man is older than her, she may not appreciate being asked too many questions. A man her age could be dating a 30-year-old woman, so why would she want to date someone older?
The journalist said, “I think she can’t find a man of her level. That’s why she’s dating a younger man. She’s a self-reliant woman. Maybe people underestimate themselves in front of her. Because men have egos too. People who are secure in their lives tend to like women like Malaika, women who are more successful than them. I think this is happening in Malaika’s case as well.”
