Malaika Arora’s interesting conversation with her son

She recalled, “He told me, ‘Mom, I’m not gonna get married, no? So please forget the fact that you’re gonna have grandkids.’ And I was like, ‘Why?’ He’s like, ‘Why would I want to bring kids into this world with the AQI at 500 and AQI at 1000? Why would I want to do that?’ He says, ‘It’s just not worth it.’ So we were just having this random conversation. He said that, and I was like, ‘Are you crazy? No, you’ve got to experience all of it.’ But I was like. ‘You know what, whatever you want, whatever you decide, just be happy.’”

Arhaan Khan’s advice to Malaika Arora

In the interview, Malaika also admitted that her son Arhaan often gives better life advice than she does. She revealed that he frequently tells her things like, “mom you need to chill” and “you need to unwind.” Highlighting his laidback Gen Z attitude, she added that she sometimes asks him to tone down his “gyan”: “I don’t need your constant gyan, but he loves it.” She added, “But everything he says, and when he actually sits down and we have those conversations, he makes perfect sense.”

Recently, she recalled, Arhaan introduced her to a very Gen Z approach to living life – “lifemaxxing.” She said, “He sat me and (talked) about ‘lifemaxxing’, ‘funmaxxing’, ‘travelmaxxing’. So basically how you got to live to the the fullest. He says you got to do that.”
