Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar Promote Film on Malaika Arora’s TV Show, Share Light-Hearted Banter

Mumbai, February 14, 2025: Actors Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar made a special appearance on India’s Best Dancer vs Super Dancer to promote their upcoming film Mere Husband Ki Biwi. The show, which is judged by Arjun's ex-girlfriend Malaika Arora, became the setting for a memorable and light-hearted exchange between the stars, drawing attention both for the promotion of the film and the camaraderie shared between Arjun and Malaika.

The episode, which features a dance-off between contestants, caught the spotlight when Malaika took to the stage and performed to some of her most iconic songs. Arjun, visibly impressed by her performance, admitted, "Meri bolti band ho chuki hai saalo se, mai abhi bhi chup rehna chahta hu" (My mouth has been shut for many years; I prefer being quiet now), which made everyone laugh, including Malaika. However, he went on to praise her career, adding, “The kind of music, the kind of performances, and the fact that we can pay tribute to somebody who is still doing such an amazing job. Congratulations, Malaika. It was wonderful to see you being celebrated like this.”

Malaika, smiling at the compliment, thanked Arjun for his kind words. The playful banter continued throughout the segment, with Arjun teasing, “Inki competition ko mujse acha kon jaanta hai” (No one knows about their competition better than me), which got a playful response from the other judges, including Remo D’Souza and Mithun Chakraborty.

The episode also highlighted the enduring friendship and mutual respect between Arjun and Malaika, who were in a relationship from 2018 until they parted ways. Despite their separation, the two continue to support each other publicly, showcasing a mature dynamic in the entertainment industry.

Arjun’s recent comments about being single also piqued curiosity. While promoting Singham Again in 2024, Arjun responded to chants of Malaika's name from the crowd with a smile, saying, "Nahi, abhi single hoon. Relax karo" (No, I'm single now. Relax).

Arjun’s upcoming film Mere Husband Ki Biwi, co-starring Rakul Preet Singh, is set for release in theatres on February 21, and fans are eagerly awaiting the film's arrival after seeing the light-hearted chemistry between the stars on the TV show.
