Malaika Arora says trolls calling her ‘buddhi' triggers her, reveals son Arhaan Khan's reaction: ‘Bahut insensitive hai'
Malaika Arora on being age-shamed
Talking about age-shaming trolls, Malaika said, "For me, 'buddhiya'. I mean how can you even say something like that to somebody. Kabhi kabhi ye trigger karta hai (Sometimes, it triggers me) because bahaut hi insensitive hai (it's extremely insensitive). Because they see only that (brave) persona. They'll see 'khush lag rahi hai' (she looks happy) but they don't realise that there are so many things that can actually trigger you, upset you."
Malaika explained that she believes such situations should be taken as examples to respond positively, encouraging one to say, "People, go ahead and say what you want; I will be better than that." She added that she would prove she could be better and could probably do anything and everything under the sun.
Malaika Arora reveals Arhaan Khan's reaction to her getting trolled
She also revealed her son Arhaan Khan's reaction to her getting trolled and said, "One of my biggest supporters is my son. He's always like 'what's the big deal mom, if somebody's saying that it's fine. Why are you letting it affect you or upset you?' Uske baad mere khud ke dimaag me jo mechanism hai (After that, the mechanism in my own mind) to deal with situations kicks in and then 'let's move forward, put this behind me'."
Malaika has long been at the receiving end of toxic online trolling, with comments about her 'duck walk', sheer outfits, and bold fashion choices, often labelled as 'age-inappropriate'. She has also been called 'aunty', with trolls taking jibes at her relationship with ex-boyfriend Arjun Kapoor.
Malaika recently appeared as a judge on the second season of the dance reality show Hip Hop India, alongside Remo D'Souza. Streaming on Amazon MX Player, the season wrapped up in June this year with Shubhankar emerging as the winner.

Malaika Arora Serves High-Fashion Winter Noir Glam In Black And Red
Malaika Arora shared pictures of her all-black winter look on her social media. She donned a black coat over a black turtleneck top and matching pants. Malaika Arora has mastered the art of timeless dressing, and her recent appearance captures the essence of understated winter glamour. Set against the warm tones of a cosy café interior, the images radiated an intimate yet powerful aesthetic – one that perfectly reflected Malaika's fashion sensibilities. Her outfit built on the eternal appeal of black. A structured oversized blazer layered over a fitted turtleneck top formed the backbone of the look, emphasising sharp tailoring with a sense of quiet authority. The ensemble felt at once powerful and relaxed – proof of Malaika Arora 's excellent ability to play with silhouettes without losing her signature elegance. The highlight, however, came in the form of her deep crimson leather gloves. Bold, unapologetic, and striking against the monochrome base, they elevated the outfit from classic to conversation-starting. Take a look at the pictures here. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Malaika Arora (@malaikaaroraofficial) For the glam, Malaika kept it simple but sophisticated. With a fresh, dewy complexion, softly blushed cheeks, and natural, glossy lips, the actor kept the focus on her glowing skin. Her brows were gently defined, while the rest of her makeup remained muted, creating an aura of effortless radiance. The hair, tied back into a loose, low bun, added to the unfussy elegance, allowing the outfit and accessories to command full attention. What makes this look memorable is not just the clothing but the mood it evokes. It's cinematic, almost as if she's stepped out of a noir film, blending seamlessly into the golden glow. With this ensemble, Malaika Arora reminds us that fashion is as much about attitude as it is about aesthetics. A monochrome look punctuated by a single bold element speaks volumes, showcasing her confidence, individuality, and enduring reign as a style icon.
