Malaika Arora had once spoken about getting trolled for dating Arjun Kapoor, who is younger to her. The two have been dating for few years.
When Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor confirmed their relationship in 2019, she had to face trolls who called her ‘desperate’ and ‘buddhi (old woman)’ for dating a younger man. In an interview that year, she had addressed the issue head-on.
While there had been a lot of speculation about them for a long time, the duo had had stayed mum about the topic. Then, they made their relationship Instagram-official.
In an interview to HT Brunch, Malaika was asked if age difference was ever an issue. She said: “The age difference doesn’t really pop up when you are in a relationship. It is about two minds and hearts connecting. Unfortunately, we live in a society that refuses to progress with time. An older man romancing a younger girl is hailed everywhere, but when the woman is older, she’s called ‘desperate’ and a ‘buddhi’. For people who think like this, I have just one line: Take a flying f***.”
