Flashback Friday: When Malaika Arora said Arbaaz Khan was her first serious boyfriend
Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan fell in love when they shot for their first TV commercial together.
Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora were undoubtedly one of the most adorable couple in B-Town. After going through a rough patch, the couple has finally been divorced. However, not many remember the fairy tale love story of the two which finally ended up with them taking the solemn vows.
Today, we explore the love affair of Bollywood most dashing couple (ex-couple, to be precise). Cupid struck them while the two worked together for an MR coffee commercial. The ad turned out to be a controversial one. Given its bold content, it proved to be a great thing for Arbaaz and Malaika. It was during this time when they fell in love.
During an interview to a magazine, Malaika had narrated their love story and we couldn't stop gushing over it. "I was shooting for the MR coffee ad with Arbaaz Khan. The catchphrase for the ad was ‘Real pleasure can’t come in an instant’. The catchphrase and the ad became a huge controversy because it had a lot of sexual undertones. But Arbaaz and I got along really well at the shoot. I had a boyfriend in my life at that time and Arbaaz, too, was seeing someone, but all the same, we exchanged telephone numbers and every day we chatted on the phone. A month later, we finally went out on an official date."
She further added, "Our relationship developed gradually from friendship to love. I was very sure about him and after five years of dating, we got married on December 12, 1998. I was 23 then and it’s been 20 years of togetherness for us!."
Talking about her love and marriage, Malaika had said, "Love and marriage sound like a fairy tale but they aren’t. Once it happens to you, you come back to ground reality. I trouble Arbaaz at times and say I got married too early… I should have had more boyfriends. He was literally my first love, my first serious boyfriend."
