Malaika
Arora
got
married
to
Arbaaz
Khan
when
she
was
25.
While
they
are
no
longer
together,
and
currently,
Malaika
is
dating
Arjun
Kapoor.
In
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
Namrata
Zakaria
on
her
podcast
Tell
Me
How
You
Did
It,
when
Malaika
was
asked
early
marriage
or
motherhood
ever
came
in
the
way
of
her
professional
life,
here's
what
she
said...
"Somewhere,
it
was
an
example
of
sorts
for
lot
of
other
women.
It
never
was
a
hindrance.
I'm
proof
of
that.
Not
in
any
way
has
it
come
in
the
choices
that
I've
made.
Being
married,
or
when
I
was
married,
or
when
I
decided
to
have
a
child,
I
don't
think
any
of
it
had
any
bearing
on
my
professional
life.
People
around
me
had
a
lot
more
to
say,
but
it
didn't
have
any
bearing
on
my
professional
life,"
said
Malaika.
Malaika
further
said
that
back
then,
there
were
very
few
of
actresses
who
were
married
with
kids.
"Nobody
would
take
that
plunge.
Now,
of
course,
it
has
changed;
women
are
married,
with
kids,
working
through
(pregnancies),
and
after.
The
whole
concept
has
changed.
But
back
then,
it
was
far
more
different.
I
said,
'I'm
not
going
to
let
it
bother
me,
I'm
not
going
to
let
it
stop
what
I
want
to
do'.
I
worked
through
my
pregnancy.
I
was
on
MTV,
I
did
shows,
I
did
all
of
it.
I
think
I
travelled
the
most
when
I
was
pregnant," added
the
48-year-old
actress.
Malaika
concluded
by
saying
that
she
doesn't
think
a
lot
of
people
at
that
point
could
have
made
that
switch,
but
she
took
it
head
on
and
she
is
really
happy
that
she
did.
