When Malaika Arora Strongly Stated She Is A ‘Self-Made' Woman: Salman Khan Ne Mujhe Nahi Banaya Hai
Malaika Arora Salman Khan: Malaika Arora has made a significant place for herself in the entertainment industry. Be it her dance numbers or style, the diva has come a long way with her sheer hard work and talent. She gained widespread popularity after her iconic dance in the song "Chaiyya Chaiyya" from Shah Rukh Khan's superhit film "Dil Se."
Following which, she appeared in numerous special dance numbers and kept winning hearts with her flawless dancing skills. The "Munni Badnaam" star, despite her achievements, has remained mostly in the news due to her personal life and controversy as well. From her divorce with Arbaz Khan to dating Arjun Kapoor, Malaika is no stranger to scandals.
The diva is celebrating her 50th birthday today, October 23, and on this occasion, this article recounts an incident when Malaika lashed out at being called an 'item girl' and said Salman Khan didn't make her.
Malaika Arora said Salman Khan didn't make her
The tag of an 'item girl' has been attached to Malaika Arora over the years. Not only that, many still think that being a part of the Khan family has helped her establish herself in the industry. Malaika and Arbaaz Khan were married from 1998 to 2017, and therefore, she was Salman Khan's sister-in-law as well.
In an old interview with the Hindustan Times in 2008, Malaika Arora strongly responded to a derogatory comment made by Rakhi Sawant about her career. Rakhi reportedly stated that Malaika's association with Salman Khan was the reason she wasn't referred to as an 'item girl.'
In response, "In that case I should be in every Salman film and in every special appearance song he does. He hasn't made me, I'm a self-made woman."
She also addressed rumours of feuds with Salman and his family for not supporting Arbaaz's career, for which she said, "What should they do for him? Launch a movie, get him roles, or spoon feed him on which scripts to accept and refuse? The brothers are very close-knit but career decisions can't be taken on his behalf."
Malaika and Arbaz amicably split a few years ago and are co-parenting their son Arhaan.
On the work front, Malaika is currently a judge on India's Best Dancer with Geeta Kapur and Terence Lewis and dating actor Arjun Kapoor. Next, she will be seen as a judge on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa's next season.
