Talking about her parents' separation, Malaika had earlier told a magazine, "My parents' separation allowed me to observe my mother through a new and unique lens. I learned a rock-steady work ethic and the value of getting up each morning to do whatever it takes to become fiercely independent. Those early lessons are the cornerstones of my life and professional journey. I am still fiercely independent; I value my freedom and live life on my terms."
Malaika and Arbaaz separated after 19 years of marriage. The two share a son- Arhaan and have remained cordial post-divorce.
