Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora’s relationship is not a secret and the duo made their relationship public on Arjun’s 34th birthday in 2019 via an Instagram post.

Now, in a recent interview, Arjun Kapoor opened up about his relationship and dating  'someone older with a son from an earlier marriage'.

Arjun Kapoor said in an interview with Film Companion, "I don't try and be overly talkative about my personal life, because I feel you should respect your partner, and there is a past there... And I've been in that situation where I've seen things pan out publicly and it's not always very nice, because there are kids affected."

He said, "I try and keep a respectful boundary. I do what she's comfortable with. And my career should not hinge on my relationship. So you have to create boundaries. I talk about it today because there is a certain respect and regard given to the relationship. We have given it time. I have tried to give it a certain amount of dignity by giving it space, and not having it be in your face."

Talking about his marriage plans, Arjun revealed in a live session last year, that nothing is panned yet. However, he won’t hide it when it happens. He said, "Not planned and not thought about it right now, but like I always say, I will not hide it.”

He further added, "I can't say I'm okay with what my father did, because as a child I felt the repercussions, but I understand it. I can't say 'theek hai, hota hai (It's fine, this happens)', because I will always wonder. But when I rationalize it as an older person who's dealing with his own relationship's highs and lows, you understand."

He also said, "My mother's upbringing came in my head. She would've told me to be by my father's side regardless of what obstacles we face, because of a choice he made where he fell in love. And I respect my father for falling in love again. Because love is complex. And we would be silly and churlish sitting here in 2021 saying that you only fall in love once. It's very Bollywood-ised. Love is complex, love is complicated, love isn't always about being in love."
