Chandigarh, December 14

In a recent episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8, Arjun Kapoor, accompanied by actor Aditya Roy Kapur, delved into various aspects of his personal life, particularly addressing questions about his long-term relationship with Malaika Arora.

When asked by host Karan Johar about the next step with Malaika, Arjun Kapoor tactfully expressed his desire to let their relationship unfold organically. He stated, “I’m very happy where I am, and I think we make no bones about the fact that we survived through whatever we’ve had to be in this comfortable happy space.”

Arjun emphasised that discussing the future without Malaika present wouldn’t be fair, noting, “I think it’s unfair to be sitting here without her and talking about the future. I think that would be the most respectful thing. Once we reach that stage, we will come and talk about it together.”

Addressing the frequent trolling he and Malaika endure, Arjun shared his perspective, acknowledging the impact while highlighting the importance of detachment from negative reactions. Reflecting on online criticism, he remarked, “It also shows their upbringing and their culture, those people who are putting up random comments. You also know that they’re trying to get your attention.” Arjun further revealed his strategy for dealing with such situations, urging a deeper understanding of the motivations behind online comments.
