Malaika was married to Salman’s brother Arbaaz.
In a now-viral video, Malaika Arora calls former brother-in-law Salman Khan the male sex symbol in Bollywood.
Salman Khan is regarded by many as one of the hottest stars in Bollywood, including his former sister-in-law, Malaika Arora. In an old chat with Pooja Bedi on her talk show, Malaika said that while Arbaaz Khan was her eternal man, Salman Khan was the male sex symbol in Bollywood.
Pooja asked Malaika, “Who according to you is one of the leading male sex symbols in the country?” Malaika replied, “I think, without a doubt, Salman Khan. I wouldn’t even bat an eyelid.”
She added, “For me, Arbaaz is my eternal man. To date, I think we’re just engaged. I don’t feel like we’re married or have a child. I still go through the same emotions as when I first met him. Well, I think Salman Khan is the ultimate sex symbol or the pin-up boy.”
Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora separated in 2017. The couple was married for 19 years before they got divorced. Arbaaz and Malaika have moved on from the failed marriage as well. Arbaaz got married for the second time last year. He tied the knot with Sshura Khan in an intimate ceremony. Meanwhile, Malaika is dating Arjun Kapoor.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan is said to be single and one of the most sought-after bachelors in Bollywood. On the work front, Salman Khan revealed the title of his upcoming film with AR Murugadoss on the occasion of Eid this year. The actor, who is known for his Eid releases, promised to return to the big screen on Eid 2025. Titled Sikandar, the film also features Rashmika Mandanna. Sikandar will reportedly be shot in Portugal and other European countries apart from some portions in India on a huge budget of Rs 400 crore, making it the most ambitious film of Sajid Nadiadwala.
Salman was also said to be starring in Karan Johar’s The Bull. Salman had already begun prepping for the film. However, the film has been shelved for now due to differences between Salman and Karan. The superstar will also begin prep for Tiger vs Pathaan alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Both actors have reportedly been narrated the script and have given their approval.
