Actor Arbaaz Khan says there is no “animosity” between him and his former wife Malaika Arora as they have “forgotten” their past and decided to co-parent their son, Arhaan. Arbaaz and Malaika divorced in 2017 after 19 years of marriage.

In an interview with ETimes, Arbaaz said despite the separation, both of them are aware it is their responsibility to take care of their child. Arbaaz said there is a certain level of maturity that is required in co-parenting and is glad they have achieved that.

Arbaaz said when married people separate, they go their different ways due to their personal differences but when they have a child, they will never have any issue with their baby.

“Malaika and I have bypassed all that too. We have forgotten the past and realised that our entire life lies ahead. She has moved on, I have moved on. Where is the animosity or anger or frustration or anything like that? That’s gone. For the sake of your child at least, you can come together and create a scenario that is much needed. He is our child. We brought him into this world. It is our responsibility to take care of him.”

Arbaaz said he has muted all the noise regarding their relationship, or what they do on an individual basis. The actor said he has heard people saying that the former couple is “putting up an act” but he doesn’t care. He said they still celebrate Arhaan’s birthday together and he is constantly speaking to Malaika “regarding my son’s work, his career or his responsibilities and needs.”

The actor said even Arhaan has “accepted” that his parents have moved on from each other, so what people gossip doesn’t affect Arbaaz at all. “People are really naïve if they think that Malaika and I have separated and we will only look out for ourselves. It doesn’t happen like that. If parents who are separated, stop talking to each other it might end up causing trauma to the child, maybe to some extent. Thankfully, our family doesn’t have that fear. Arhaan has accepted that his father has moved on, his mother has moved on. He is doing fine, too.”

Malaika is currently dating actor Arjun Kapoor while Arbaaz is in a relationship with model-actor Giorgia Andriani.
