Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora are painting the town red with their romance. The lovebirds were guarded earlier, but now the couple has thrown caution to the wind and are enjoying vacations, parties together. In fact, they have even started interacting on social media. Blame Karan Johar for making Malaika-Arjun love affair public. Now even the Kapoor khandaan is pretty open about the duo. Arjun Kapoor admitted on Koffee With Karan 6 that he's in a relationship. Many suggest that we may even hear wedding bells in the Kapoor household soon.  Malaika might not have openly referred to her beau, but when on Anaita Shroff Adajania's talk show the leggy lassie did describe Arjun Kapoor as her ideal man.

According to a recent report in Deccan Chronicle, Malaika and Arjun's relationship has become a sore eye for Salman Khan. When Arbaaz Khan and his wife were planning to get separated it is said that the Dabangg hero tried hard to stop the couple from parting ways. Despite Salman's many pleads, Malaika was adamant and did not want to continue staying in her marriage with Arbaaz. When Sallu found out about Arjun's affair with Malaika, the Bharat hero was furious. And his anger was even justified because just before this the Ishaqzaade hero was in a relationship with his sister Arpita Khan. Apparently, when Khan confronted Arjun about his affair with hi sister-in-law the actor had assured him that he would never do anything to malign the actor's family. But looks like AK couldn't keep his promise.

Salman Khan not only banned Arjun from entering his house in Galaxy Apartment, Bandra. The Dabangg 3 hero is said to have steered clear of any encounter with Kapoor lad over these years. It seems that at an award function a couple of years ago, Salman refused to enter the venue because Arjun was performing on the stage.

A source told DC, "Arjun first dated Salman's youngest sister Arpita. He broke up with her and became friends with Malaika Arora who was married to Salman's brother Arbaaz. That was when Salman began to get annoyed with Arjun. But the latter convinced Bhai that he would never do anything to hurt the Khan family." The insider continued, "But after Malaika's divorce from Arbaaz, her public appearances with Arjun and whispers all around of their impending marriage, Salman is livid."

On professional front too, Salman-Boney Kapoor's relationship is not exactly in cordial terms. The actor had walked out of No Entry Mein Entry and now he has banned his filmmaker friend from entering his home. Does this also mean that Salman's wrath will extend to Arjun's extended family too? Because Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and the rest of Arjun's family is pretty cool with his relationship with Malaika? Watch this space for more...
