Malaika Arora’s advice for moving on after divorce: ‘Start dating’

Malaika Arora ended her 18-year long marriage with Arbaaz Khan in May 2017. Post their divorce, the couple has maintained a very cordial relationship and are equally involved in raising and taking care of their son Arhaan. In an interview with Kareena Kapoor Khan on her radio show ‘What Women Want’ on 104.8 FM Ishq, the actress opened up about her divorce.

On the show, when asked about how difficult it is to find love or date again after a long marriage, Malaika said, “I think every woman will feel intimidated about jumping back into that dating pool again. But having said that, it’s not impossible. And I think every woman should jump back into it with equal gusto and confidence.”

She further added, “You just need a little time to kind of back away from everything, get a perspective of what’s in store and then go on, go out there and date again. Get on to Tinder – swipe left, right, whatever it might be! Have fun! Enjoy it. I think for the first time in your life, you will also discover a kind of freedom. To be in a bed all alone is also a new feeling!” 

She also said that it’s far easier for men to move on with their lives post-divorce than women. “It’s the biggest disparity there is among all the other disparities there are which women have to face,” Malaika shared.
