Malaika Arora’s conspicuous absence from her longtime boyfriend Arjun Kapoor’s midnight birthday celebration has reignited breakup rumors between the beloved duo on social media. Arjun Kapoor, who turned a year older, hosted an exclusive gathering at his Juhu home which saw attendance from notable family members and close pals, yet Malaika’s absence became the main talking point of the event.
Among the attendees were Arjun’s cousins, Janhvi Kapoor and Shanaya Kapoor, who arrived at his residence just around midnight. Additionally, Sanjay Kapoor and his wife Maheep Kapoor were clicked by paparazzi outside Arjun’s apartment, further hinting at the family-oriented nature of the celebratory night. The gathering was also graced by Arjun’s ‘No Entry 2’ co-star Varun Dhawan, who was accompanied by his wife Natasha Dalal. Aditya Roy Kapur added a solitary presence, making it evident through his presence that he wanted to personally wish his close friend.
However, the absence of Malaika Arora, who has constantly shared a strong public bond with Arjun, inevitably led to unchecked speculation and rumors about a potential breakup flooding social media. Malaika’s failure to attend such a personal event led many observers to wonder if trouble was brewing in paradise.
The couple’s relationship has always been under the scanner ever since Malaika Arora decided to make it Instagram official on Arjun Kapoor’s 34th birthday. This public declaration was marked by a goofy and light-hearted picture that Malaika posted to commemorate the joyous occasion. Since then, the couple often showcased their affectionate relationship online through a series of intimate and fun-loving snapshots, thereby winning over numerous fans.
However, it wasn’t long ago when multiple reports suggested a possible split between Malaika and Arjun. Although neither party has confirmed this development officially, their respective social media feeds speak volumes through the pictures they still harbor of one another, reinforcing a sense of public curiosity and confusion about the real status of their relationship.
As reported by Pinkvilla, sources close to the couple have asserted that Malaika and Arjun have indeed chosen to part ways. The alleged split has been described as a decision made with mutual respect and understanding, suggesting a mutual desire to keep the separation private and maintain their dignity amidst public curiosity. The source confirmed that the pair does not wish their relationship to be dissected and probed by the public, emphasizing a need for space and respect in the wake of this emotional decision.

A source informed the portal, “Malaika and Arjun had a very special relationship and both of them will continue to hold a special place in each other’s hearts. They have chosen to part ways and will maintain a dignified silence in this matter. They won’t allow anyone to drag and dissect their relationship.” The source went further, adding, “They had a long, loving, fruitful relationship that has unfortunately run its course now. That doesn’t mean there is any bad blood between them. They respect each other hugely and have been a pillar of strength for each other. Over the years, they have given their relationship a lot of respect. They will continue to give each other the same respect despite them deciding to part ways. Both of them were in a serious relationship for years, and they expect people to be gracious enough to give them space at this emotional time.”
Despite the swirling rumors and the absence that sparked media frenzy, neither Malaika nor Arjun has made any public statement confirming their breakup. Both continue to maintain a dignified silence, letting time and respect dictate the eventual truths about their relationship.
To sum up, Malaika Arora’s absence from Arjun Kapoor’s birthday bash has undeniably set social media abuzz with speculative chatter. Whether it’s merely a personal space issue or indeed a sign of an end to their much-discussed relationship remains to be seen. For now, the duo continues to manage the situation with a grace and respect that has defined their relationship over the years. And while the world remains eager for clarity, the couple seeks the empathy and patience of their fans during this time of personal transition.
