Now let’s talk about an old incident, which is from 2008. At that time, there were still many years left in the marriage of Malaika and Arbaaz, but suddenly news started coming that both were going to separate.

Was it Malaika’s promotional stunt?

According to Indian Express, senior journalist Vicky Lalwani recently recalled this old incident while talking to actress Pooja Bhatt and revealed that it was all a kind of promotional stunt. Vicky told that in 2008 he got a call from a film director, who said that Malaika and Arbaaz were going to get divorced.

Based on this, Vicky wrote a news that both are separating. But in reality they were not separating at that time. They were advertising for a cosmetics brand. The story in the promotion of that brand was that the two come together and then part, like a male-female myth (Adonis and Aphrodite). That is why rumors of separation were spread so that the brand could get more attention.

Vicky Lalwani was enraged

Vicky said that Malaika and Arbaaz had spread this news indirectly, whereas in reality their relationship was fine at that time. Later, the divorce actually happened in 2017, but the situation in 2008 was different. When Vicky became suspicious, he called Malaika and asked. Malaika said that ‘yes, there is trouble’ and did not deny the news. Vicky had also recorded the conversation. For this reason the news was published. But the next day it was revealed that all this was part of brand promotion. Vicky and his boss felt that they had been cheated. Then Vicky decided to talk to Malaika directly. That day Malaika was on stage in an event of the same brand. There was heavy security, bouncers were standing there. But Vicky was so angry that he jumped between the bouncers and went on the stage. He placed the tape recorder in front of Malaika and said, ‘This is the same tape in which you lied to us. Malaika, why did you lie? Malaika just said, ‘Why should I tell you the truth? That’s all we had a short conversation with. Thankfully the bouncers did not do anything, because the program was going on and perhaps they did not want to interfere.
