Ahead of her OTT debut, Malaika Arora gets candid on how society frowns upon single parents or divorced women. Breaking all stereotypes every day, Malaika has stood by the odds like a strong woman. For the unversed, Malaika was married to actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan. The two tied the knot in 1998 and got separated in 2017. However, things being done with mutual consent, it was the actress who was accused and said things about falling in love with another man.

After her divorce, Malaika Arora fell in love with Arjun Kapoor and the two started dating. While they're happy and going strong, the Chaiyya Chaiyya girl is still fighting to prove it is okay to be a single parent and a divorced woman. While promoting her upcoming OTT reality show Moving In With Malaika, where the fans would get a sneak peek into her life, she opened up about the stigmas attached to an independent, opinionated woman.

Talking about the negativity and prejudices about divorce and being a single parent, Malaika said,'Certainly not. I think I am today's woman, I think I've had enough and more of my share of experiences in life, and been through my fair share of ups and downs. I'm pretty badass that way. So I don't think I'm somebody who just sits around, taking hit after hit. I'm not one of those. If somebody punches me, I punch back, I probably punch back so hard that they may not be able to recover from it. So that's probably the kind of woman that I am. I don't really take things lying down.'

She further added, 'I will call a spade a spade. And I think that's what it is. And I think today's women should be able to stand up and say the things that you feel strongly about and show that it's fine. It's fine to be, to find, to live the life that I am. I mean in today's day and age, divorced women, single parents, etc, are actually looked down upon and it's not really very... you know, when I say looked down upon there's always a lot of criticism. There's someone or the other having some sort of comment and I think we need to change that. And then I want to change if I can, in my own little bit.'

Malaika Arora is coming up with a reality show with the intent to bridge the gap between her and her fans. Titled 'Moving In With Malaika,' this show will give us a sneak peek into her glamorous and personal life. Speaking about the same, Malla said, 'This series will offer viewers an insight into her life but nothing will be 'scripted'.'
