However, Arjun rubbished rumours, which has been all over the internet since last year, of the couple marrying each other. "I am not getting married. If I am getting married, I will speak about it openly. There is no reason for me to hide it. It is not something I can hide from people. If I am not hiding anything now, why will I hide my marriage?" Arjun was quoted saying in a PTI report.

In an interview with Mid-Day, Malaika addressed netizens who criticised the couple for their age difference. "The age difference doesn't really pop up when you are in a relationship. It is about two minds and hearts connecting." "Unfortunately, we live in a society that refuses to progress with time. An older man romancing a younger girl is hailed everywhere, but when the woman is older, she's called ‘desperate' and a ‘buddhi'. For people who think like this, I have just one line: Take a flying f***," added Malaika.
