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.
