In an interview with the Filmfare, Arjun Kapoor had candidly spoken about accepting his relationship with Malaika Arora in media and how his family has been supportive of his choices. Speaking about how happy his family is with his relationship with Malaika, Arjun had stated, “They are happy. That's the reason I have been able to come out. There is genuine happiness for me. I have been through hell. I have been through a roller-coaster... from the age of 10-11 till 33 today. My parents separated when I was around 11 years old. Today I have some stability in my life and if someone gives me happiness, my family won't be against it. I am genuinely happy. That is why a Friday at the box-office doesn't decide my life. Three years back, I had have been like, I am dying! What's gonna happen? Today, I am relaxed.” (Also Read: Inaaya Naumi Kemmu Enjoys 'Swing' With Mommy, Soha Ali Khan As They Twin In Summer Hats)
