When Malaika Arora revealed she gets turned on by men who are rough and kiss well: 'Too prissy, chikna nahi hota'

As Malaika Arora celebrates her birthday today, fans are revisiting one of her most unfiltered and talked-about moments, the time she openly described her idea of the perfect man. True to her confident and candid persona, Malaika didn’t mince words when she revealed what really turns her on, and her comments still make waves years later.

Back in 2021, during an appearance on a reality show, Malaika was asked about her preferences in men. Without hesitation, she said, “I really like a guy who is a little rough around the edges. I like that. Too prissy, chikna nahi hota (or clean-shaven, I don’t like). Outrageously flirtatious. I like somebody who can kiss really well.”

Her bold honesty instantly became a fan favorite moment, charming, direct, and completely in line with her self-assured public image. Interestingly, her description back then seemed to fit her then-boyfriend Arjun Kapoor, whose rugged looks and easygoing attitude made them one of Bollywood’s most talked-about couples.

In the same conversation, Malaika added that she’s turned off by men who gossip too much, saying she prefers someone who can hold his own without unnecessary chatter. That mix of confidence and self-awareness made the clip go viral again recently, reminding everyone why Malaika remains one of the most authentic voices in an industry that often plays it safe.

What adds a sweeter layer to this throwback is Malaika’s more recent confession that she’s still open to love and even marriage.

Her words came months after her breakup with Arjun Kapoor, whom she dated for nearly six years. At a Singham Again promotional event, Arjun had confirmed his single status, joking, “Abhi single hoon main, relax.” Despite their split, both have spoken about maintaining mutual respect and privacy.

Malaika’s journey in love has been as eventful as her career. She married Arbaaz Khan in 1998, and they welcomed their son Arhaan in 2002. The couple separated in 2016 and finalized their divorce in 2017. Arbaaz has since remarried makeup artist Sshura Khan and recently blessed with a baby girl.
