Malaika Arora opens up on new tattoo after Arjun Kapoor breakup, says she last got inked after divorce from Arbaaz Khan

The actor shared that she gets inked at significant turning points in her life, and added, “I don’t get them just for the sake of it, they have deep personal meaning. This particular one symbolises the year that 2024 has been for me. The words ‘patience’ (sabr) and ‘gratitude’ (shukr) are very comforting. These words resonate with me when I think about where I am now, compared to where I was just a year ago.”

Malaika also shared, “I see tattoos as symbols of memories and thoughts I want to carry with me forever.”

Malaika revealed that she last got inked after her divorce from Arbaaz Khan eight years ago. She said, “That tattoo shows three birds in flight marking a new phase in my life.”

Malaika has also been making headlines because of her lineup rumours with the former Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara. When asked is she is open to seek love again, the ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya girl’ shared, “I’m not focused on that right now. These are things you can’t plan. I’m just grateful for the patience I’ve had, which has helped me reach a better headspace. I wasn’t in a great place before, but I’m in a much better, calmer and happier space now.”

Malaika emphasised that she will never give up on the idea of love, and that it remains the central driving force in her life.
