Arjun Kapoor celebrated his 40th birthday on June 26, 2025, and among the many heartfelt wishes he received, one stood out – a sweet gesture from his ex-girlfriend, Malaika Arora. Despite their separation last year, Malaika took to social media to share a fun and endearing birthday wish for Arjun, proving that their bond remains strong.
Malaika's Instagram story featured a boomerang video of Arjun Kapoor, where he is seen jumping joyfully in what appears to be an international destination. Dressed casually in a white shirt and black pants, Arjun exudes a carefree and happy vibe in the clip. Malaika accompanied the video with a simple yet affectionate message, "Happy birthday @arjunkapoor..." followed by emojis of two champagne glasses and a white heart. The white heart emoji is often associated with expressing purity in love and affection, adding a touch of warmth to her message.
The gesture quickly caught the attention of fans and media alike, highlighting the amicable relationship the former couple continues to share. Malaika and Arjun, who were in a relationship for nearly six years, parted ways in 2024. While they have maintained a dignified silence about the reasons for their separation, their social media interactions suggest a mutual respect and fondness for each other.
This isn't the first time Malaika has publicly acknowledged Arjun post-breakup. Her birthday wish showcases their maturity and ability to maintain a cordial relationship despite no longer being romantically involved.
Interestingly, two years ago, a video from Arjun's 38th birthday celebration went viral, featuring Malaika dancing to her iconic song "Chaiyya Chaiyya." The throwback video was a testament to their joyous times together and the strong connection they shared.
Arjun's birthday was also marked by warm wishes from other Bollywood celebrities. Kareena Kapoor Khan shared a nostalgic photo from their "Ki & Ka" days, while Karan Johar penned a heartfelt message calling Arjun the "funniest guy in any room." Bhumi Pednekar, his co-star from "Mere Husband Ki Biwi," also extended her birthday greetings, calling him "the best."
On the professional front, Arjun Kapoor's career continues to evolve. He made his Bollywood debut in 2012 with "Ishaqzaade" and has since appeared in a variety of films. His recent projects include "Mere Husband Ki Biwi," a romantic comedy released earlier this year, and he is set to appear in "No Entry 2," directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by his father, Boney Kapoor. Before his birthday, Arjun shared a thought-provoking note on his Instagram stories about living in a digital world.
Malaika Arora's sweet birthday wish for Arjun Kapoor is a reminder that relationships can evolve, and even after parting ways, maintaining respect and affection is possible. It's a heartwarming example of how celebrities, despite being in the public eye, navigate personal relationships with grace and maturity.
