Arbaaz
On
Malaika
In
2010,
while
speaking
to
Filmfare
Arbaaz
had
said,
"We've
been
married
for
15
years.
Before
that
we
had
a
five-year
courtship.
As
a
boyfriend
and
as
a
husband
I've
never
kept
tabs
on
Malaika,
landed
up
on
her
sets
or
kept
calling
her
up
insanely.
I
believe
in
giving
the
other
person
the
freedom
to
be."
Arbaaz
Was
A
Liberal
Husband
In
the
same
interview,
Arbaaz
had
admitted
that
he
never
imposed
any
restriction
on
Malaika's
career,
and
was
always
supportive
of
her
decisions
related
to
her
career.
"Very
early
in
life
I
realised
there's
no
point
in
stopping
the
other
person
from
doing
what
they
like
because
they
will
do
it
anyway.
Malaika
knows
me
well
and
also
what
I
like
and
what
I
dislike.
We
know
we'll
never
cross
that
line.
We
give
each
other
space
and
the
freedom
of
choice,"
had
said
the
Dabangg
actor.
Arbaaz
On
Why
He
Never
Interfered
In
Malaika's
Career
Decisions
While
explaining
why
he
never
believed
in
stopping
someone
from
doing
what
they
like,
Arbaaz
had
said,
"The
minute
I
stop
her
from
doing
something,
she'll
also
try
to
stop
me.
Like
if
I
tell
her
to
stop
being
friends
with
someone,
she
too
will
turn
around
and
tell
me,
'I
don't
like
that
friend
of
yours,
he
can't
come
home'.
And
the
cycle
continues."
Cut
To
Present...
Malaika
and
Arbaaz
might
have
parted
ways,
but
the
duo
has
immense
respect
for
each
other.
After
announcing
their
separation,
not
even
once
the
duo
spoke
ill
about
each
other.
Well,
the
duo
surely
believes
in
'live
and
let
live'.
