Malaika Arora's childhood
In 2022, Malaika in an interview talked about not only about her 'wonderful' childhood but also how she faced tough times in the early years of her life. She recalled how she was only 11 when her parents, Anil Arora and Joyce Polycarp had a divorce.
Malaika along with her sister Amrita, who was six years old then, moved with their mother from Thane to Chembur and were raised by her after the divorce. In an interview with Grazia India, she said, ''I had a wonderful childhood, but it wasn't easy. In fact, in retrospect, the word I would use to describe it is tumultuous. But tough times teach you important lessons too.''
''My parents' separation allowed me to observe my mother through a new and unique lens. I learned a rock-steady work ethic and the value of getting up each morning to do whatever it takes to become fiercely independent. Those early lessons are the cornerstones of my life and professional journey. I am still fiercely independent; I value my freedom and live life on my terms,'' she added.
On the work front
She was last seen in the song 'Aap Jaisa Koi' in the film An Action Hero starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahalwat. She was also seen in 'Tera Hi Khayal' music video. Some media reports suggest that she will also feature in the upcoming multi-starrer Housefull 5 in a special cameo appearance.
