Arjun then told Karan, 'I went up to him, telling him how can you talk to my sister like that. I imagined it would be like Shah Rukh Khan in Josh where two gangs fight, but I just got socked in the eye! I had a black eye, and I got suspended because I abused him.'
On his relationship with Malaika
KJo asked Arjun why he took so long to announce his relationship with Malaika Arora.
'I will always think about everyone first. It is my choice to be with her, but I cannot expect everyone to understand. It has to be allowed to grow. I cannot expect everyone to understand easily,' Arjun answered.
'I had to ease everyone into it including the public eye. It's not that we didn't talk about it as a couple. But there are baby steps. There is a basic understanding that she has had a life, she has a child, and I'm coming from a past that is aware of that.'
No wedding plans
But there are no wedding plans yet, Arjun confirms.
'It's been two years of COVID and now, I want to focus on my career,' he said.
'I want to see where I am going. I am a realistic person. I'm not hiding anything and neither am I coy. I want to be more stable, not just financially but emotionally. If I am happy, only then I can make my partner happy, and a lot of my happiness comes from my work.'
