Here's
another
quake
hitting
bold
and
beautiful
Bollywood.
The
made
for
each
other
couple,
Arbaaz
Khan
and
Malaika
Arora
Khan,
have
separated
and
will
be
seeking
talaq,
going
by
the
indisputable
indications.
This
comes
soon
after
the
stunning,
overnight
as
it
were,
split
between
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Kareena
Kapoor,
looked
upon
as
the
head-over-heels
in
love
pair
for
quite
some
time.
While
both
Shahid
and
Kareena
kept
their
counsel,
Shahid
rose
in
the
esteem
of
his
fans
for
playing
the
dignified
lover
being
dumped
after
all
those
wild
quotable
quotes
about
their
everlasting
love
and
their
tongue
wrestling
in
a
public
place
MMS.
Kareena,
who
is
now
looked
upon
as
the
coolest
babe
in
Saif
Ali
Khan's
arm
(and
in
his
arms),
fell
for
Saif
during
the
outdoors
of
Tashan
and
the
news
popped
out
just
prior
to
the
release
of
Shahid-Kareena's
only
hit,
Jab
We
Met.
Saif,
just
out
of
his
torrid
relationship
with
Italian
bomb,
Rozza
Catalano,
has
gone
through
the
pleasant
agony
of
tatooing
Kareena's
name
on
his
arm,
and
Kareena
is
in
the
euphoric
quotable
quote
mode
again
as
if
nothing
or
Shahid
ever
happened
only
the
other
day!
Of
course,
true
to
showbiz
type,
both
Saif
and
Kareena
are
also
emphasising
to
everyone
who
cares
to
listen,
that
their
career
is
on
the
upswing
at
the
moment,
and
certainly
they
will
marry,
but
don't
see
that
happening
before
another
five
years.
The
emergency
exit
for
another
couple
of
Shahids
and
Rozzas
to
happen
in
the
next
five
years.
On
the
surface,
the
Arbaaz
Khan-Malaika
Arora
affair
looked
a
lot
more
cool
and
dignified,
and
the
eyebrow
raising
was
because
people
couldn't
believe
that
what
they
were
seeing
was
worth
believing.
They
seemed
to
be
too
genuinely
happily
married
to
be
true.
And
they
lasted
all
of
10
years
and
a
five-year-old
son,
Arhaan.
After
his
much
touted
acting
debut
in
Daraar,
where
he
played
a
debonair
sun-glassed
villain,
Arbaaz's
career
never
took
off,
despite
the
family
film
where
all
three
Khan
brothers
played
stellar
roles,
Hello
Brother.
He
managed
two-and-a-half
roles
in
the
years
since,
but
all
of
them
rather
insignificant.
The
last
we
saw
him
in
was
Apoorva
Lakhia's
Shootout
At
Lokhandwala,
starring
Sanjay
Dutt,
in
which
he
played
a
dashing
cop,
but
the
film
was
not
a
commercial
success
either.
Malaika,
on
the
other
hand,
was
a
high-profile
model
and
hit
the
Bollywood
jackpot
by
swivelling
her
hips
with
Shahrukh
Khan
atop
a
moving
train.
Dil
Se's
Chhaiyaan
Chhaiyaan
made
her
a
memorable
item
girl,
and
she
made
her
sexual
presence
felt
as
a
'love
and
agony
aunt'
anchor
on
television
and
make
cleavage
and
leg
showing
appearances
at
glitzy
parties
and
inaugurals.
Kaante's
"Mahi
ve" and
Welcome's
"Hoth
Rasiley",
also
added
punch
to
her
power
as
an
item
girl.
In
a
split-second
appearance
among
a
galaxy
of
Bollywood
stars
in
Heyy
Baby
and
Om
Shanti
Om,
both
the
sisters
Malaika
and
Amrita
Arora
are
seen
shaking
their
booty,
along
with
Arbaaz!
When
a
television
channel,
Live
India,
broke
the
story
late
last
night
and
asked
the
couple
separately
about
the
divorce,
Arbaaz
and
Malaika
neither
confirmed
nor
refuted
the
news,
but
their
replies
were
loaded.
"It
is
my
private
life
and
I
would
not
like
to
discuss
it
in
public,"
Arbaaz
said,
adding,
"Life
is
uncertain
and
no
one
knows
what
will
happen
tomorrow."
Malaika
seemed
to
be
pretty
shaken
and
also
asserted,
weakly
though,
"It
is
too
personal
and
I
would
like
to
keep
quiet
on
this
issue."
When
reminded
that
keeping
quiet
on
such
issues
indicates
trouble,
Malaika
reiterated,
"I
believe
silence
is
golden."
The
news
comes
as
a
surprise
especially
at
a
time
when
Malaika
and
Arbaaz
are
getting
ready
for
their
Kannada
film
together,
Shaadi
Ke
Side
Effects.
The
film,
which
is
ironically
about
marriage
and
infidelity,
casts
Malaika
in
her
first
lead
role.
It
could
just
be
a
publicity
gimmick
for
the
film,
but
their
reactions
did
not
seem
to
indicate
that.
Even
the
Kareena-Shahid
split
was
initially
supposed
to
be
a
gimmick
for
pushing
Jab
We
Met.
Arbaaz
and
Malaika's
10-year-old
marriage
is
to
end,
it
can
safely
be
concluded,
unless
there
is
a
last
minute
reconciliation.
They
have
one
son,
Arhaan,
from
this
marriage
and
people
have
always
looked
on
in
awe
at
the
couple's
successful
bonding
despite
a
failed
career
of
Arbaaz
and
Malaika
always
being
the
hot-bod
model
mom
who
even
appeared
in
various
stages
of
undress
in
Maxim
recently,
but
with
a
total
understanding
between
the
couple.
Ten
years
of
mutual
respect
between
a
high-profile
couple
is
not
usual
in
Bollywood
or
showbiz.
That
is
why
this
comes
as
a
shocker,
coming
as
it
is
without
any
runway
clues.
The
news
trickling
in
is
that
Arbaaz
has
found
a
new
love
with
whom
he
is
living
secretly
at
a
Bandra
property.
Even
during
the
Shahid-Kareena
affair,
there
were
rumours
of
the
goody-goody
Shahid
having
been
seen
with
co-star
Amrita
Rao
too
many
times.
Kareena
is
supposed
to
have
spit
fire
and
doused
any
flame
waiting
to
break
out.
But
here,
Arbaaz
has
actually
separated
from
Malaika,
his
wife
since
1997
and
mother
to
five-year
old
Arhaan,
two
weeks
ago.
A
friend
of
Malaika
has
told
the
media,
"Malaika
and
Arbaaz
have
stopped
communicating
with
each
other
completely.
She
is
not
even
aware
where
Arbaaz
is."
Arbaaz,
on
the
split
and
a
rumoured
second
marriage,
says,
"I
don't
want
to
comment
on
my
personal
life
or
on
Malaika.
Why
is
the
press
so
impatient?
They
will
know
whether
I'm
remarrying
or
not
in
due
time.
I
will
probably
talk
about
it
soon.
At
this
moment
I
don't
want
to
say
anything
further."
