Actress Malaika Arora, who has shattered several societal norms with her life decisions, recently opened up about her failed marriage with Arbaaz Khan during an interview. Malaika and Arbaaz got divorced in 2016 and the actress considers it as one of the worst phases of her life. During the interview, she also recalled being concerned about the consequences of divorce on her son and on her social image.

Malaika told Bollywood Bubble, “I went through my personal struggles. I went through separation, I went through having to deal with family pressures, I went through having to deal with how would my child cope with it, how would I cope with it, how would society be, will I be able to work, will I be able to just be myself. All these thoughts went through my head. I think that probably for me was my lowest in life."

The actress further added, I can’t be like that because like I said, my decision was going to impact all the lives around me. When I say mine, at the end of the day, we were two people. As a couple, as husband and wife, we together decided that this was what was best."

Taking about how she coped up with it, Malaika said, "But yes, it was definitely the most difficult, the lowest phase in my life where I probably did turn to a lot of aspects, like yoga, meditation, because I felt that these were outlets that would help me channelise better, that would help me sort whatever upheaval that I was dealing with internally."
