Arbaaz Khan on his son’s reaction to his divorce with Malaika Arora

Arbaaz Khan, reflecting upon his split up with Malaika Arora after their 18-year-long marriage, recently opened up about their son Arhaan going through a difficult time owing to that.

In a recent interview to Pinkvilla, the 52-year-old filmmaker expressed that having a son witness the kind of situation in which nothing but only parting ways would work is very difficult. 

Arbaaz said, “When you have a child, it is a very difficult but a necessary step. It had come to a point where this was the only way to go about it to make this equation as okay as possible.”

Arbaaz talking about his son’s reaction to the situation, also shared: “My boy was almost 12 at that time, he had a fair understanding. He was aware of what was happening. There wasn’t much to explain to him.”

While Malaika has their son’s custody, Arbaaz is allowed to pay him a visit often. The couple who enjoys cordial relations even after the divorce never let their circumstances affect their relationship with Arhaan.

The Nirdosh actor also shared: “I am there for him. She has the custody of my child and didn’t want to even fight for custody because I felt when the child is younger, he needs his mother. Now he is 17, he will soon to be 18, he will make up his mind where he wants to be.” He added, “he is a lovely boy.”
