From the electric thrill of falling in love again, embracing fatherhood with wide-eyed anticipation, to weathering harrowing threats that sought to shake his family's foundation, actor
Arbaaz Khan
address all the topics for once and all in an exclusive chat with us.
'If you fall in love once, you can fall in love again'
Arbaaz, who has started filming his next film
Maine Pyaar Kiya Phir Se
, admits the script seemed interesting to him. 'It seemed a little fresh and new. I always look for something that is a little challenging, sometimes a little different from what I've done in the past,' he tells us. Interestingly, the film's theme of falling in love again mirrors a chapter in Arbaaz Khan's own life — after his separation, he found love anew with makeup artist Shura Khan, whom he married.
Ask him about giving love a second chance, and he explains, 'If you fall in love once, you can fall in love again, because you have love in you.
If you have love in you, you can keep giving love. I am not of the principle that if you've loved once, you can never love again. Why should that be the case? You have whole life to lead. Are you really going to worry about the fact that you loved somebody in your early years and then the rest of your life you're supposed to sit down in some kind of anticipation.

You should be hopeful, and you should be happy with loving coming in your life at whatever stage. If it continues with the same person, great. If it doesn't and you receive it from somewhere else, sometime else, be very open and willing for it. Loving something or someone is never a problem. Hating somebody and doing wrongful things is a problem. Why should loving somebody be a problem?' He adds, "Everybody should have a chance and second shot at falling in love.
There's nothing wrong in loving again."
'I want to keep the sanctity of my relationship'
The actor admits he has 'always been very private'. 'I've become more public now,' he says, adding rhetorically, 'You cannot put your entire life out. Where is the compulsion? Then might as well live in a
Bigg Boss
house or a Truman show, have camera everywhere and let people know what the hell you're doing from morning to evening.'
He continues to stay mum about his marriage with Shura to maintain the sanctitiy of the relationship.
'Of course (I want to keep the sanctity of my relationship). Why not? You should be able to choose what you need to let people know, unless it's required. I think most celebs don't like to talk about their personal lives. Why me? I'm not some exception. It's now just become the pressure that the public wants to know. But it's in our hands how much we would want.
I want to keep my personal life private, as much as I can. When I step out, people see us, then that's a different thing,' he explains.
Arbaaz and Shura's videos are quite a hit amongst the paps. He confesses, he has never called them nor paid them. 'I've never paid for anything in my life... We have now accepted that. We've got no complaints with anybody for that matter. We're just happy that the way they've taken a liking towards her in particular. They've been very nice, affectionate, polite, respectful and kind towards her,' he adds.
'The pregnancy is giving me a new sense of happiness or responsibility'
The two got hitched in 2023 and the couple is expecting their first baby.
For the first time, the 57-year-old confirms the pregnancy, adding, 'Yes, it is there. I'm not denying that information because right now it's something that is out there, my family knows about it. People have got to know about it, and it's fine. It's pretty evident also. It's a very exciting time in both our lives. We are happy and excited. We're going to welcome this new life in our life.
'
Ask him if he is nervous, he replies, 'Everybody tends to be nervous.
Any person would feel (the nerves); I'm also getting into fatherhood now after some time. It's a fresh new feeling for me all over again. I'm excited. I'm happy and I'm looking forward. It's just giving me a new sense of happiness or responsibility. I'm kind of liking that.'
Arbaaz has been a father to Arhaan, ask him what kind of parent he thinks he will be, and he states, 'There are no categories. You just have to be like a parent who is good.
A good parent is someone who's around for their child, who's attentive, who's probably caring, loving and is doing the best to provide to the child. That's all that I want to be.'
'We've always been a very tight knit family'
On the subject of his family's safety and security, the last one year has been tough for the Khans, with brother Salman receiving repeated death threats leading to heightened security in their Bandra home. He addresses the issue, 'We've always been a very tight knit family.
We've always been together in each and everybody's highs and lows.'
Salman's brother Arbaaz Khan has consistently emphasized Salman's unwavering support, especially during challenging times. In an April 2024 interview on his son Arhaan Khan's podcast 'Dumb Biryani', Arbaaz stated, "We are together when there is a crisis and that is the time when people run away from each other. Salman, me and him may not meet or communicate that often but when he realises that there's some kind of a problem, that man is not going to hesitate." This highlights Salman's reliability and commitment to his family, showcasing his willingness to stand by them no matter the circumstances. Arbaaz also noted in an October 2024 Times of India interview that he draws inspiration from Salman's "dedication."
In the face of threats, he refuses to bow to fear: "There's nothing about being scared or not. We can only take the necessary precautions. Otherwise, there is nothing to. Who knows what's going to happen next. What are you going to do? Shut yourself in a goddamn room and sit."
