MUMBAI MIRROR (October 25, 2018)

In the last few weeks, Arjun Kapoor and good friend Malaika Arora have been making heads turn after being spotted driving down in the same car and seated next to each other at a recent fashion show. And if that wasn’t enough to start tongues wagging, the duo walked out hand-in-hand and set the stage on fire when the actor was a guest on a talent hunt show which Malaika judges to promote his last release. Immediately after Namaste England opened, Arjun flew off to Italy. It was no coincidence that Malaika brought in her 45th birthday in the European country too and threw gossip mills into a spin by posting a picture against a graffiti wall with the word 'LOVE' in focus. The accompanying text read, “We found LOVE in a hopeless place…. He looks at me like nobody does with…”

She followed up this cryptic post on her return to Mumbai on Wednesday with one more picture, saying, “Soaking it all in n loving it…” Among the many 'likes' was one from Arjun too. He's been ‘liking’ many of her posts of late.

The picture-perfect moments had Karan Johar, her co-judge on India’s Got Talent, quizzing her on her return to the shoot from Europe, saying “What did you do there? How was your trip? Was it a trip?” The lady shot him and the camera a beatific smile and quipped, “It was trippy… It was blissful, if you must know,” before turning to the third judge, Kirron Kher, and thanking her for letting her take a day off to bring in her birthday. KJo was not done yet, and continued to probe, “The burning question is: Did you go alone?” and Malaika shot back, “Let that remain a burning question.” The exchange had Arjun’s uncle Sanjay Kapoor laughing out loud with emojis on the Insta post.

Is this an official confirmation that something is brewing? At a time when love is in the air, weddings are being announced and babies waiting to be delivered, one can only hope for another happily ever after in show town…
