"So it's over now for them."
Malaika Arora appeared to ignore Arjun Kapoor at India Couture Week 2024.
A video capturing a lack of interaction between the two comes amid ongoing breakup rumours.
Footage showed Arjun and Malaika sitting in the front row.
However, they did not sit next to each other.
Arjun also posed for pictures with fans. Malaika, who had to pass through, stopped briefly but did not acknowledge the actor.
Another moment featured Arjun trying to shield Malaika from the crowd.
Although it was a protective and kind gesture, Malaika rushed past him without looking at him.
The awkward moments sparked concern among fans, with one commenting:
“So it’s over now for them.”
Another said: “They’ve broken up.”
A third added: “Another case of a bad Bollywood breakup.”
Believing that a split has happened, one person said Malaika deserved better.
The user wrote: “Malaika deserves someone more mature and better, she ruined her married life cos of this guy, he is not at all worth it.”
Meanwhile, others praised Arjun for his gesture.
A user commented: “Seeing Arjun protect Malaika like that is so heartwarming! Still shipping them!”
Another said: “That moment when Arjun held Malaika’s hand at the fashion show. True gentleman!
“Arjun’s protective gesture towards Malaika was so sweet! Maybe the breakup rumours aren’t true after all?”

Amid the breakup rumours, Malaika Arora discussed her idea of “true love”.
She said: “I have somehow built a mechanism — or shield, I would say — around me where I don’t let the negativity through anymore.
“I’d be lying if I said things don’t affect me at all — I’m human too and so I will cry, break down and have all the emotions associated with being trolled.
“But you’ll never see that in public.
“I’ll never give up on the idea of true love, no matter what.
“I’m a typical Scorpio that way, so I’ll fight for love till the very end — but I’m also very realistic and know where to draw the line.”
Rumours that Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor had broken up have been circulating for over a year.
A Reddit user highlighted that Arjun went on a weekend trip alone.
At the same time, Malaika Arora was occupied with her filming commitments in Mumbai, leading to speculation about a potential separation.
One person wrote:
“A solo weekend vacation while she’s shooting, omg things must be pretty bad between them.”
Another added: “I’ve never seen a couple who go on a solo trip because usually everyone is busy and when they get free, they will obviously go together.”
Some also began speculating that Arjun was now dating Kusha Kapila, citing a picture from a party at Karan Johar’s house from July 2023.
Arjun was at the party while Malaika was not. Kusha had also attended the gathering.
The photo showed the group posing for the camera while Arjun appeared to be looking at Kusha, leading to the rumours.
Although Kusha refuted the claims, speculation surrounding Malaika and Arjun’s relationship continues.
