Malaika files for divorce from Arbaaz

New Delhi : After brother-in-law Salman Khan's last-ditch efforts to patch things up between Malaika Arora Khan and Arbaaz, the 42-year-old model-celebrity judge is now keen to file for a divorce.

Amidst constant murmurs of trouble in Malaika and Arbaaz's 18-year-old marriage, things seem to have finally come to a head. Turns out, Malaika has made up her mind about filing for divorce and she's not listening to anyone, not even her brother-in-law Salman, whose repeated attempts to patch things up between the troubled couple have come to a naught.

Malaika and Arbaaz first raised eyebrows when they signed up as hosts for the reality TV show, ‘Power Couple,’ but filmed together for barely three episodes. When they eventually agreed to appear together after much cajoling, they'd arrive in separate cars, use individual green rooms and leave separately.

Sources from the set informed Mirror that Malaika had walked out of their Bandra home with 14-year-old son, Arhaan, three months ago and rented an apartment in Khar. She also didn't turn up for sister Amrita Arora Ladak's 35th birthday in Dubai on January 31, since Arbaaz was in attendance. She was also a no-show at sister-in-law Arpita Khan Sharma's baby showers in Dubai and Mumbai in February.
