Malaika Arora has asked women not to marry at an early age. In a recent interview, the diva, who married Arbaaz Khan when she was just 25, reflected on the same and explained that women must ‘experience
life’ before tying the knot. She called getting married early a ‘mistake’ and urged others not to make similar mistakes.
“Please don’t make the mistake of getting married so young. Yes, beautiful things have happened (during marital life), the best being that I had my kid early. But live and experience life a bit. Then take the call to settle down. Be financially and emotionally independent before you actually settle down,” she told India Today.
Malaika then opened up about her separation from Arbaaz Khan, with whom she also shares a son. The Bollywood diva stated that even though their marriage did not work, it has put her off the institution altogether.
“I do believe in marriage, but that doesn’t mean it’s meant for me. If it happens, great. But I’m not seeking it. I’m very content. I was married. Then I moved beyond that. I’ve been in relationships. But I am not jaded. I still love my life. I love the idea of love. I love being loved and sharing love. I love being in a situation where I can nurture something beautiful. So, I’m totally open to it. But at the same time, I’m not seeking it. If it happens, if it comes knocking at my door, then I will,” Malaika added.
