Malaika Arora REACTS for 1st Time to Breakup Rumours With Arjun Kapoor: 'I'll Fight for Love...'

Malaika Arora is seemingly going through a rough patch in her relationship with Bollywood star Arjun Kapoor. The actress left her fans concerned after she skipped her actor-boyfriend’s midnight birthday celebration at his Juhu residence. Malaika didn’t wish Arjun on social media either, which led to speculation about their possible breakup.

Amid the ongoing rumours surrounding her “on-off relationship” with Arjun, Malaika spoke about how the internet can be a very toxic space. “I have somehow built a mechanism — or shield, I would say — around me where I don’t let the negativity through anymore,” Malaika told Hello magazine. “I’ve insulated myself from it. Whether it’s people, a work environment, social media or trolls. The minute I feel that energy, I recoil instantly. It’s something I’ve learned to do over time. It would get to me earlier and I would lose sleep over it. I’d be lying if I said things don’t affect me at all — I’m human too and so I will cry, break down and have all the emotions associated with being trolled. But you’ll never see that in public.”

Malaika says she doesn’t feel need the need to engage with “some nameless, faceless person on the internet and justify myself to them.” “Trolls mean nothing to me,” she added. “I’m aware of everything, I’m not living under a rock — but I just distance myself from it.”

When asked about love, Malaika says she’s a hardcore romantic. “I’ll never give up on the idea of true love, no matter what. I’m a typical Scorpio that way, so I’ll fight for love till the very end — but I’m also very realistic and know where to draw the line,” she added.

Last month, Arjun and Malaika sparked breakup rumours after a source informed Pinkvilla that their relationship has “run its course.” “Malaika and Arjun had a very special relationship and both of them will continue to hold a special place in each other’s hearts. They have chosen to part ways and will maintain a dignified silence in this matter. They won’t allow anyone to drag and dissect their relationship,” a source told Pinkvilla.
