Malaika Arora is single and ready to mingle. As per the latest buzz the actress is dating Arjun Kapoor. The couple had kept their relationship low key and would refuse to get clicked together, but not anymore. There have been plenty instances where the paparazzi has spotted the alleged lovebirds and they are not awkward anymore. Malaika turned a year older yesterday and the actress celebrated her big day with a holiday abroad. The actress returned to Mumbai early this morning and interestingly, Arjun Kapoor too exited the airport around the same time as Ms Arora adding fuel to rumours about their affair. And now we have filmmaker and TV reality show judge Karan Johar teasing the beauty about it.

Karan Johar took to Instagram and shared a video with his co-judges Kiron Kher and Malaika. The filmmaker wishes the leggy lassie a very good morning, but not without being his nosy self. The Ae Dil Hai Mushkil director asks the actress about her European vacay, “Just came back from Europe, what did you do there?” Malaika tells Karan that her trip was “trippy” and “blissful”. He doesn’t stop there and goes on to probe the actress, “The burning question is - did you go alone?” Malaika gives an awkward smile and responds with – “Let it be a burning question.” The Dharma head honcho of course takes his cue and moves on to chat with his other judge.

It was earlier reported that Malaika and Arjun were secretly dating. The couple however steered clear of commenting on this and in fact even avoided being in the same frame. In the last couple of months things have changed it seems. Because first we spotted Malaika and Arjun looking comfortable being seated next to each other at a fashion show. They were also snapped at a party together recently. Insiders had revealed how Arjun’s relationship with Salman Khan and family had gone kaput because of his relationship with Malaika.

Once Salman’s protégé and Dabangg’s sister Arpita Khan’s boyfriend, Arjun was distanced from the khandaan. At an award function a year back, Salman had refused to enter the venue on finding out that Arjun was performing on stage. The young her was ushered out and only then did the Bharat star make and appearance on stage, he exited the venue within a few minutes. While Arjun still continues to talk highly about Salman, the senior hero is not reciprocating the same. See this: Malaika Arora Hints About Spending Birthday Vacation in Europe With Arjun Kapoor

Going by the last few episodes we wouldn’t be surprised. In fact, on a chat show recently when Malaika was asked, now that she’s single, would she date an older man or a decade younger hunk and the actress picked the latter. That’s not all when Malaika was quizzed about her ideal man her description kind of matched with what Arjun looks like. Are Arjun and Malaika finally ready to come out in the open about their relationship? Let’s wait and find out.
