Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor celebrated his 40th birthday on June 26, 2025, and the internet has been flooded with wishes from fans and celebrities. While messages from Karan Johar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Bhumi Pednekar poured in, one post grabbed eyeballs and it came from Arjun’s ex, Malaika Arora.
Malaika shared a short boomerang video on her Instagram story that featured Arjun looking dapper in a white shirt and black pants. She captioned it “Happy Birthday” with a white heart and clinking champagne glasses emoji. And just like that, social media couldn’t keep calm.

A Look Back At Their Relationship
Malaika and Arjun reportedly began dating in 2018. They were often spotted at events and on vacations, becoming one of the most talked-about couples in B-town. But after nearly six years together, reports of their separation surfaced earlier this year.
Before Arjun Kapoor, Malaika was married to actor Arbaaz Khan. The two parted ways in 2017 after nearly two decades of marriage and continue to co-parent their son, Arhaan Khan.
