Malaika Arora, who endured significant and challenging life events in 2024, including the passing of her father, Anil Arora, and the end of her seven-year relationship with Arjun Kapoor, has shared reflections on the lessons this year has brought her.
Prior to that, the actress also opened up about an unsettling encounter with a fan during an interview with Bollywood Bubble. “I had no idea, no clue, nothing… she was just sitting there,” Malaika recounted, still visibly shaken by the experience. “She came to talk to me, but I got a little scared, I’ll be very honest,” she admitted.
The encounter involved a female fan who was sitting there with a pair of scissors or some object in her bag, which unnerved Malaika. “It was actually a female fan. She was sitting there with a scissor or something in her bag, which was a little scary. I figured something was wrong, so I just tried to stay calm. That was definitely my craziest fan interaction,” she explained. Malaika Arora’s shocking fan encounter serves as a reminder of the risks faced by public figures.
Last year, before the New Years, taking to her Instagram stories, Malaika shared a note, which read, “I don’t hate you, 2024, but you were a difficult year, full of challenges, changes, and learning. You showed me that life can change in the blink of an eye and taught me to trust myself more. But, above all, you made me understand that my health—whether physical, emotional, or mental—is what really matters. There are things I still can’t understand, but I believe that with time, I will understand the reasons and purposes of everything that happened.”
Meanwhile, in October 2024, Arjun Kapoor confirmed his breakup at an event during the promotion of Singham Again while interacting with a paparazzi and declared, “Nahin ab main single hoon, relax karo.”
