The actor spoke to Kareena Kapoor Khan on her radio show, What Women Want, where Malaika had a heart-to-heart conversation about how she is a much happier person post divorce. When talking about how she and Arbaaz took that decision, Malaika said,"We did think about a lot of things and weighed every single pro and con. And then we decided, it’s better off that we move our separate ways because we’d just be better people. Because we were two people in a situation making each other extremely unhappy which was impacting everybody else’s life around us."
