On Malaika Arora's 51st Birthday, A Look At Her Personal Life

Malaika Arora has turned 51 years old today, October 23. From being the first choice for item numbers in Bollywood to being the fitness guru of youth, the actress has come a long way. The VJ and model was first featured in a song titled Gur Nalon Ishq Mitha in 1997. The actress rose to fame overnight with her special appearance in the classic song Chaiyya Chayya in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dil Se in 1998.

Malaika Arora never shared an affinity for acting. Dance was her first love and so she left no chance to add item numbers in her portfolio. After her breakthrough in Bollywood, the actress was then seen in songs like Ekwari Tak Le (Bichhoo), Yeh Pyar (Indian), Kaal Dhamaal (Kaal), Heyy Babyy (Heyy Babyy), Hoth Rasiley (Welcome), Munni Badnaam Hui (Dabangg) and others.

Apart from professional career, Malaika’s love life has also played a major role in her life. From being a wife of the prestigious Khan family in Bollywood to dating a man with an age difference of 12 years, the diva had a roller-coaster love life.

Malaika Arora was married to the Bollywood actor-director-producer Arbaaz Khan in 1998. They met each other during a coffee ad shoot. After dating for several years, the couple decided to tie the knot. The couple was the talk of the town at that time. The duo gave birth to a son, Arhaan Khan in 2002. The ex-couple announced their separation after citing compatibility issues in 2016. They were officially divorced in 2017.

Next year, Malaika Arora confirmed her relationship with Arjun Kapoor on her 45th birthday. There is more than ten years of age difference between them. The couple were vocal about their relationship on social media. The duo later announced their separation after dating for six years. It was one of the shocking breakups in the entertainment industry recently.

In 2022, Malaika Arora recently suffered an accident on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway when three cars collided with each other as she was returning home from an event. She was taken to the Apollo Hospital in Navi Mumbai where she received stitches.
