Malaika Arora on becoming a single parent: ‘Whole world is crashing on your head’

Actor-television personality Malaika Arora reviewed when she got separated from her better half Arbaaz Khan. In a recent interview, she said that at that time she felt like ‘the whole world is crashing’ but realize that she had to be responsible. Malaika added that by then her son, Arhaan Khan, needed her ‘more than ever’. Malaika also uncovered that she felt ‘scared, vulnerable, frightened’ but had to take ‘one day at a time’

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Malaika said, “When I took that decision or that step to be a single mother, I didn’t (pause). At that point, you always feel that the whole world is crashing on your head and how you gonna manage I think that’s a very normal human reaction. But having said that I also knew that it is something I have to take on. I have to be responsible. I have a son, he is growing up, he needs me more than ever. I have to be that right example. I have to be able to steer him in the right direction and at the same time let him make his own mistakes.”

She added. “Yes, I did feel scared, vulnerable, frightened, all of those emotions. But I also felt that I had to take one day at a time. I couldn’t take giant leaps because that is just not possible. I had to see what every day would unfold for me. At that point, the only thinking about I needs to be, not if I am a single mother but I need to be a working single mother. For me, that was more important.”
