Malaika Arora and ex-husband Arbaaz Khan may have parted ways, but they continue to co-parent their son Arhaan with utmost care and concern. In a recent interview, Malaika opened up about their parenting style and admitted that they are ‘not always on the same page.’
She said, “Arbaaz and I, we are not always on the same page when it comes to Arhaan’s upbringing. But we try to ensure that there’s enough love and stability for him to grow and feel secure. Our son is our priority and whatever differences we may have, we keep them aside for his sake.”
Malaika further stated that both she and Arbaaz have their own strengths and weaknesses as parents and they complement each other well. “Arbaaz is strict and disciplined, whereas I’m more laid back and casual. We balance each other out and that’s what works best for our son,” she said.
When asked about how they deal with conflicting opinions on important matters like screen time, Malaika replied, “We discuss and debate, and if we still can’t come to a common ground, we seek the opinion of a third person, such as a child psychologist or a family member.”
Malaika’s approach to co-parenting with Arbaaz is a testimony to the fact that even after a marriage ends, both parents can continue to play an active role in their child’s life and work together to provide them with a stable and loving environment. It also shows that differences can be managed through open communication and mutual respect.
In conclusion, Malaika Arora’s statement sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of co-parenting- the ability to navigate differences and provide a united front for the well-being of the child.
