He wished his son the courage to pursue his dreams and the wisdom to make the right life choices, concluding by stating that Arhaan will forever be his "little boy."
A Mother's Ultimate Favorite
This birthday celebration follows a recent public admission by Malaika Arora during a Q&A session at JITO Connect in October 2025. When asked about her favorite icon in the industry, Malaika mentioned her love for Malayalam cinema, influenced by her mother's heritage.
However, when the conversation shifted to her favorite person in the entire world, she didn't hesitate for a second. "But if you ask me, my most favourite person in the world is my son. He is my most favourite," she revealed, highlighting the special place Arhaan holds in her life.
A Glimpse into the Family History
The journey of the family has seen many chapters. Arbaaz and Malaika married in 1998 and welcomed Arhaan into the world in 2002. After nearly twenty years of marriage, the couple officially divorced in 2017.
While their marital relationship ended, their commitment to their son remained steadfast. Arbaaz has since moved forward in his personal life and is now married to Sshura Khan, with whom he shares a daughter, Sipaara.
