Talking about her son's reaction, Arora said, 'It's irritating, but now I just treat it as a joke. Arhaan and I have a good laugh about these things. I can't plan these things if it has to happen, it will happen. Right now, I am so happy exploring all that's going on in my life.'

Malaika, who was previously married to Arbaaz Khan, also spoke about co-parenting her son and how she sees companionship as a single mother.

'To be able to build things from scratch is what keeps me going and motivates me. Yes, companionship and having a partner are beautiful, but I am not actively seeking it. I am very proud of being a self-made woman, and I don't need a man to complete me. If I choose to be with someone, it will be on my own terms,' she added.
