Arjun Kapoor officially announces he is dating Malaika Arora

After months of dating rumours, actor Arjun Kapoor has finally announced that he is dating Malaika Arora and confessed that he doesn’t want people to believe that they are still hiding.

Speaking to Filmfare in an interview, he said, “We’ve come out because we feel the media has given us dignity. There’s a certain understanding the media has... they’ve been respectful, kind, honest and decent about it. That is why I felt comfortable. You recoil when there’s a certain ‘gandagi’ that comes with the territory. When purposely people irk you by saying, writing or asking things, there hasn’t been any of that,” he said.

He further added, “Let it be natural. Let it be normal. I don’t want my neighbours being disturbed, I don’t want her neighbours being disturbed. We’re not doing anything wrong. I don’t want that story being conveyed that we’re still hiding, when we’re not. They understood that.”

Addressing marriage rumours with Malaika, he said that he is not getting married as of now, but he will announce it whenever he plans to do that. “I’m not getting married. I understand why there are speculations because in my own house people would ask the same question. It’s a very organic Indian question. I still have time. If I’ve not hidden my relationship, why will I hide my marriage?,” he said.

While the pictures making their relationship official did not come across as a huge surprise since there have been constant rumors about the two, but making it official in the media for the first time is sure a big step.
