Arjun Kapoor takes a subtle at ex Malaika Arora

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor, who was last seen in Mere Husband Ki Biwi, is dealing with the breakup. The actor was in a relationship with Malaika Arora for six years but has recently confirmed their breakup. However, Arjun recently addressed his heartbreak with a light joke.

During the Showsha Reel Awards, host Arjun Kapoor jokingly shared that being alone is better for him and everyone. He said, “Aaj main akela hi sahi. Akele se yaad aaya. (Today, I may be alone, and that’s fine).”

The actor added, “I think being alone is not such a bad thing for all of you and for me. Faayda hum sabka hi hai. (It benefits all of us.)”

Arjun explained, “Because mujhe milenge do host hone ke paise aur aapko bakwas, I mean, baat-cheet kam sunni padegi, because attention span logon ka kam ho chuka hai Because I will get paid for being the sole host, and you will have to listen to less nonsense—I mean, less talking—since people’s attention spans have shortened).”

Arjun Kapoor’s latest joke came after he confirmed his breakup with Malaika Arora. The ex-couple started dating in 2018 and parted ways in 2024. The duo often shared photos on their social media giving insights into their romance.
