Malaika Arora did make an impact with her small contribution both in Dabangg and Dabangg 2. In the first movie, she played Munni and danced to the song, Munni Badnam Hui, which as we all know became a chartbuster instantly. In the second part, she reprised her role and shook a leg with Salman Khan again in the song, Pandey Jee Seeti. However, we won't get to see Malaika in the upcoming third part of the franchise. Malaika even confirmed this in a recent interview.

“No my dear, I am not involved with the film. Everyone involved with the project has moved on and I only wish each and every one all the best for the venture,” she was quoted by The Times Of India. Well, it's not at all surprising. Considering we won't get to see her in Dabangg 3, it's a good opportunity to re-watch her act in Dabangg and Dabangg 2, no? Dance India Dance 7: Malaika Arora Looks Stunning As Ever But It's Her 'Love' Themed Hair Accessory That's The Coolest!

While Dabangg 3 is not on her list, Malaika revealed that she plans to get into production. “I would definitely want to produce some really good content in my company. The kind of content you see across platforms, in films and otherwise, is so promising. I might actually produce a short film or something but nothing immediately. A lot of ideas have come my way and I am just taking my time to green light one or some of them. Actually, this is the best time of my life. For any woman today, life actually begins post 40. It’s an age in which a woman was once considered oh-so-redundant. Today, she’s a lot freer in that same age window,” she said.

On the personal front, Malaika is dating Arjun Kapoor. The two will apparently tie the knot very soon.
