MUMBAI – Malaika Arora Khan and Arbaaz Khan have reportedly filed for divorce in Bandra family court in Mumbai, Indian media reported.
According to the Mid-Day, Arbaaz, 49 and Malaika, 43 visited a family court with their lawyers last week. “They have filed for divorce by mutual consent and will have to appear in court for the mandatory counselling sessions,” report added.
Actor Malaika Arora Khan and husband Arbaaz Khan had earlier denied divorce rumours, and confirmed that they are separating, and taking a break from each other “to figure out our lives.”
In a joint statement issued to DNA, the star couple maintained that while they have separated, there is no truth to the fact that Malaika is seeing anyone or has approached a divorce lawyer.
“Yes, it’s true that we are separated. The truth is, we have taken a break, but that doesn’t mean people can presume, assume and speculate things of such malicious nature. We are taking out time to figure out our lives. We have maintained a dignified silence till now but it is causing us too much confusion and is disturbing for our families. To put all of the speculation to rest, we are giving out this statement. People claiming to be our friends and sources have been speaking on our behalf giving out wrong, malicious information. They have maligned us for long and we have kept quiet and not said a word as it’s a personal matter between us. We have got a child and our families are involved, but just because we have not said anything till now, it doesn’t give anybody the license to speculate on any rubbish about us,” read their statement published in DNA
