How does Malaika Arora's son Arhaan react to her dating rumours? Read here
Malaika Arora isn't losing sleep over those never-ending dating rumours. If anything, she discusses them with her son Arhaan Khan. She said that she is in no rush for love, choosing instead to live life on her own terms.
Actor and entrepreneur Malaika Arora has a cheeky new way of dealing with the endless dating rumours that follow her every outing: she and son Arhaan now treat them like punchlines. The 52-year-old opened up about the constant speculation surrounding her personal life in a chat with Curly Tales, calling it "irritating" while revealing how the family has learnt to laugh it off.

"It's irritating, but now I just treat it as a joke. Arhaan and I have a good laugh about these things," Malaika shared. She added that she refuses to let the chatter dictate her pace: "I can't plan these things; if it has to happen, it will happen. Right now, I am so happy exploring all of this that's going on in my life."
The latest round of buzz erupted after pictures and videos surfaced of Malaika dancing and enjoying a party with Splitsvilla X6 fame Sorab Bedi. Before that, she was linked to a "mystery man" – speculation that has become so routine, she says, that she is paired with almost anyone she is photographed with, be it a longtime friend, married colleague or even her manager.
In an earlier appearance on The Namrata Zakaria Show, Malaika noted how her family now finds the situation amusing. She pointed out that the frenzy has reached a point where innocent interactions instantly spark romantic conjecture.
'Proudly self-made and not in a rush'
As a single mother who has built a multifaceted career on her own terms, Malaika emphasised the joy of independence. "To be able to build things from scratch, and that's what is keeping me going and motivating me. Yes, of course, companionship, partner, all those things are beautiful, but I am not actively seeking it like, Oh, I need a partner," she said.
She added with quiet pride: "I am very proud of the fact that I am a self-made woman, and I don't need a man to fulfil or complete the person that I am. If I had to be with somebody, I'd do it on my own terms."
