Nandini Bhalla: What is your current definition of love? Also, what is Malaika like when she is in love?
Malaika Arora: “I am all about love… I am someone who revels and thrives in love. A lot of people say that love doesn’t last forever, but I believe it is eternal. Being a hardcore romantic, I believe that when there’s love, you can overcome and conquer any hurdle.
As for changing in a relationship or for their partner, I don’t think I’ve ever done that. I am very liberal and understanding—growth and giving someone space are very essential for any relationship to thrive, be it friends, lovers, or partners. I adapt beautifully in a relationship, and it is important for me to grow together with my partner. Changing in love is not an essential part of being in it. While you make adjustments and sacrifices, you are not supposed to change yourself…in fact, you must retain the parts of yourself that you recognise.”
NB: What kind of partner do you make? Are you a giver or taker? Emotional or more confident?
