Malaika Arora has been on the receiving end of trolls and gossipmongers. From facing hate after she decided to walk out of her seventeen-year-old marriage and getting criticised due to dating Arjun Kapoor, who was much younger than her, Malaika has been through a lot. But she never stopped herself from attending events and building her life. Let's take a look back at when she was judged for taking a big fat alimony from her ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan.
Malaika has been through a lot when she decided to divorce Arbaaz. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Malaika revealed that back then, not many women in the industry were getting divorced. She decided to walk out of marriage for her kid. Malaika was sure that if she wasn't happy, she wouldn't be able to make anyone happy, especially her son, Arhaan.
Malaika also added that she wanted to feel settled and happy from within to make others happy. So, for her personal growth, she took the decision to move on. She was quoted as saying:
"When I decided to get divorced, I don’t think there were too many women in the industry getting divorced and moving on. I felt, for me, for my personal growth, my choice, I had to feel okay within if I had to make my kid happy and make my kid flourish in his space. So, that’s what I did. I had to feel settled and happy to make anyone around me happy. It starts with me."
In the same interview, Malaika recalled a strange article that claimed she could afford all the fancy clothing as she got a huge alimony. Talking about the moment, Malaika stated that she was shocked reading it, as whatever she did in life meant nothing. She was quoted as saying:
"Somebody decided to carry a ridiculous article about something that I was wearing as to how expensive it is, and they said, ‘Clearly she can afford it because she got a fat alimony,’ and I was aghast. Whatever you have done in life, whatever level, it makes no difference."
For the unversed, reports were rife that Maliaka received a lot of money as alimony. According to a DNA report, Malaika received an alimony of around Rs. 10 crore to 15 crore from her ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan. They even got joint custody of their son, Arhaan Khan.

Talking about the ex-couple, they have moved in life. While Arbaaz Khan got married to Sshura Khan on December 24, 2023, Malaika was in a relationship with Arjun Kapoor. They were together for a long time until they called it quits this year. Some reports claimed Arjun and Malaika parted ways as one of them wanted marriage, and another didn't.
Well, Malaika is definitely a strong woman who decided to walk out of her marriage, in which she wasn't happy!
