Arjun Kapoor discusses loneliness amid breakup with Malaika Arora: ‘Being selfish is looked in the wrong way’

The Ishaqzaade star emphasized the importance of being content with oneself, rather than relying entirely on a relationship to feel fulfilled. “Relationships fulfill you but if you’re not okay, you need to figure that out. You can’t project that on a relationship or other people. It’s everyday (that) you figure stuff out. I always say that everyday you wake up (you need to note) the new things you need to work on — whether you are in a relationship or otherwise,” Arjun shared.

Discussing his breakup further, he said, “It’s very tricky to speak about it and know because I think I’ve got to respect the way things have been. I don’t like to go into details for that reason, but I will never ever crisscross the two things. I think what my issues in the beginning part of my life are not correlated to where I am today.”

At a recent Diwali bash in Mumbai, which also saw his Singham Again co-stars in attendance, Arjun Kapoor declared to the paparazzi that he was ‘single.’ During the event, when the crowd began chanting Malaika’s name, Arjun quickly quipped, “Abhi single hoon main, relax (I’m single now). He called me tall and handsome, so you guys thought he was talking about my marriage.” Arjun and Malaika started dating in 2018, after her divorce from Arbaaz Khan. The couple often shared pictures from their vacations and other outings.
