Malaika Arora Opens Up On Her New Tattoo:

In a recent interview with The Times of India, Malaika was asked about her new tattoo, which caught everyone's attention at a recent red carpet-event. She shared that the tattoo has a ‘deep-rooted meaning'.

"These Words Resonate With Me..."

She shared that she gets inked at significant turning points in her life, and added, "I don't get them just for the sake of it, they have deep personal meaning. This particular one symbolises the year that 2024 has been for me. The words ‘patience' (sabr) and ‘gratitude' (shukr) are very comforting. These words resonate with me when I think about where I am now, compared to where I was just a year ago."

Malaika also shared, "I see tattoos as symbols of memories and thoughts I want to carry with me forever."

Malaika revealed that she last got inked after her divorce from Arbaaz Khan eight years ago. She said, "That tattoo shows three birds in flight marking a new phase in my life."

"These are Things You Can't Plan..."

Malaika has also been in the news because of her lineup rumors with the former Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara. When asked if she is open to seek love again, she said, "I'm not focused on that right now. These are things you can't plan. I'm just grateful for the patience I've had, which has helped me reach a better headspace. I wasn't in a great place before, but I'm in a much better, calmer and happier space now."
