Relax).” Addressing a person behind him, Arjun continued, “Inhone ‘tall aur handsome’ bola, aesa lagraha hai ki shaadi ki baat karrahe hai. Isliye maine bola relax karo pehle (He said, ‘Tall and handsome’, I felt he is talking about marriage. So I said relax).”
Earlier this year, a source told Pinkvilla, “Malaika and Arjun had a very special relationship and both of them will continue to hold a special place in each others 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.”
