When Malaika Arora opened up about her childhood

During an interview with Grazia India, Malaika Arora talked about her parents' separation and reflected on her childhood, which she described as both challenging and wonderful. Malaika, who appeared on the magazine's cover, shared these insights about her early years, "I had a wonderful childhood, but it wasn't easy. In fact, in retrospect, the word I would use to describe it is tumultuous. But tough times teach you important lessons too."

Malaika Arora was just 11 when her parents separated. Her younger sister, Amrita Arora, was six at the time. After the divorce, the sisters moved with their mother Joyce from Thane to Chembur, where she raised them on her own. Malaika also shared more about that time in her life.

She added, "My parents' separation allowed me to observe my mother through a new and unique lens. I learned a rock-steady work ethic and the value of getting up each morning to do whatever it takes to become fiercely independent. Those early lessons are the cornerstones of my life and professional journey. I am still fiercely independent; I value my freedom and live life on my terms."

Malaika Arora has a strong connection with her son, Arhaan. She sees herself as both a mom and a friend to him, describing herself as strict but also fun and relaxed. While she doesn't monitor his every move, she ensures that he feels comfortable coming to her with anything, anytime.
