‘I rather be known as sexy, spicy than as pheeki, thandi’, says Malaika Arora

Malaika Arora has said she likes being called ‘sexy’ but doesn’t feel insecure because of her stretch marks. She said that getting old is part and parcel of life and she would embrace it with wisdom. Malaika continues to be ageless and among the most famous celebs in Bollywood. She is the mother of 19-year-old Arhaan Khan.

In an interview, Malaika said, “I have always said that I’d rather be known as sexy and spicy than being known as pheeki (bland) and thandi (boring). I have always been known like that. I am very feisty by nature.”

Asserting that there might be days when she feels just the opposite, she told Pinkvilla in the interview,  “15 days of the month at my peak, the other 15 days I am struggling because all women are going through some hormonal… whatever.” On being asked what she feels in those other 15 days, she said, “I feel bloated, I feel low and like I am not at my optimum.”

Malaika said is comfortable in her own skin and claims she knows how to manage insecurities. “If I am trolled because I have stretch marks so be it. People have far deeper insecurities in life. I have my own share. For every gray hair, I feel I gain more wisdom, more stability, more love, more happiness. My grey hair are testimony that each year will be a bigger and better year for me,” she said.
