Malaika on how she reacts to mean articles

She said, “Sometimes when I find something nasty written about me, I’ll admit, it messes up my day, but I’m getting better at blocking out the noise. I work a lot on keeping myself the way I am—mentally strong and being able to reinvent myself—by practising yoga and meditation, doing my retreats, eating, and sleeping on time.”

Malaika on people praising her

The former VJ shared how people praise her. Malaika said, “When someone says, ‘You look amazing at 48,’ it feels fantastic. I don’t think people mean it in a derogatory way. It’s a compliment. At 48, if I can look the way I do, it’s due to my hard work, dedication, and focus, which is paying off. It feels great when someone asks, ‘What do you do to stay like that?’”

Malaika lauds Taylor

Praising Taylor Swift, she said that the singer is "making money, packing stadiums, and affecting economies, all at such a young age." She added that when she was the singer's age, she was "still trying to figure out what I wanted to do."
