Malaika Arora, who recently broke up with Arjun Kapoor, was previously married to actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan. They parted ways and officially divorced in 2017.
In a recent interview,
Malaika shared how being financially independent is important and keeping finances separate from partners after marriage.
“Independent rakho baba (Be independent). Jo tera hai voh tera hai, jo mera hai voh mera hai (What is yours is yours, and what is mine is mine). I mean, when you get married or you’re with someone, you try to infuse… you know, try to fuse a situation where you want to make everything one. But I feel it’s very important to have your own identity,” Malla told while talking to Curly Tales.
“It’s good that you’re doing things together but that doesn’t mean you kind of give up your entire identity and take on someone else’s. As it is you’re taking on somebody else’s last name, right? So I think the least you can do is hang on to your own bank account,” she added.
Speaking about facing criticism on he relationships and life choices, she earlier told GlobalSpa magazine, “In the best way I can. There are times when you feel things don’t bother or affect me, but of course they do.”
She added, “I have also figured out a way to deal with it, get strong about it and not let it pull me down, govern me or get the better out of me. I have figured out a way to insulate me to all of it. Yes, it’s part and parcel of our lives, there is constantly something, criticism, trolling but you just need to block out the noise, the negativity and move on with whatever is positive in your life.”
