Actor Arjun Kapoor has candidly discussed his personal life, relationships, and his commitment to supporting ex-girlfriend Malaika Arora following the passing of her father, Anil Mehta. During an appearance on Figuring Out With Raj Shamani, Arjun expressed the importance of being open about one's relationships, stating that failing to do so can lead to misrepresentation that diminishes their value. Although he identifies as a private individual, he revealed that friends Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, and Varun Dhawan encouraged him to engage with social media after the release of 2 States.

Arjun reflects on supporting Malaika after her father's passing

Arjun remarked, "In life, without delving into specific instances, I believe that when situations arise, there is a natural instinct and impulse. In this instance, too, I feel that instinct. If I have formed an emotional connection with someone, I firmly believe I will be there for them through both good and bad times. I am not someone who seeks validation from others. If I feel a genuine emotion for someone, it remains for a lifetime." Anil Mehta, Malaika Arora's father, passed away in September.

Arjun addresses his 'fear of loss'

When questioned about the reasons behind his relationship challenges, Arjun promptly responded, “I believe I have a fear of loss. It is distinct from commitment phobia. I often feel that my mother left me, and my father made a choice... This fear of loss is ever-present. There is a lingering thought that eventually, everyone will depart. I am actively working on this issue. Whenever something occurs, I have the impression that it will also come to an end. It is a subconscious burden that weighs heavily on me. I might have had the potential for wonderful relationships with certain women, but I refrained from pursuing them because I was reluctant to let them in, thinking, what is the point if she will eventually leave?”

About Arjun and Malaika

Arjun and Malaika began their relationship in 2018. However, the couple has generally maintained a level of privacy regarding their romance, although they frequently shared affectionate images from their travels and exchanged birthday wishes.

In October of this year, Arjun publicly addressed his relationship status with Malaika. During an event in Mumbai, he engaged with the audience, who enthusiastically chanted Malaika's name. Arjun responded by stating, "No, I am currently single. Please relax."
