Like wine, she just keeps getting better with time! And by the time they're 40, they're long forgotten! But whoever said that clearly hasn't come across Malaika Arora Khan! Over 40 and with a teenage son, she's nowhere close to fading into oblivion. Their career starts to fade out as they enter their 30s.
But never say never, as her fans continue to wait for her next song.They say, women in Bollywood have a limited shelf life. She’s been more busy using her skills to judge dance reality shows. It’s been a while we saw Malaika Arora getting back to a full fledged dance number. Though she played a small part in Housefull in the same year, she reappeared in “Anarkali Disco Chali” in its 2012 sequel. Salman Khan’s Dabangg got a breather in “Munni Badnaam Hui”, which was also perfectly placed in the plot. She even made both Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor dance to her tunes in “Hoth Rasiley” in Welcome (2007).Ģ010 declared her the ‘Munni’ of Bollywood, when she gave the industry, one of its most popular songs in decades. And probably the best thing to remember about an otherwise heavily panned film Kaal, is her doing “Iss Kaal Kaal Mein” with Shah Rukh Khan. Her small part as Lisa in Kaante (2002) gave way to a fan-favorite track “Maahi Ve”. A short little love story, this one had no dance but a lot of expressive lyrics, along with visuals of the earliest laptop, Rediffmail and times when selfies could be taken even with a hefty video camera.Ģ000s saw the reign of Malaika as the most sought-after face for dance numbers that were specially created to incorporate her. She played a superstar lost in memories of her good times with her friend. The song is still played at Dandiya Nights and dance shows.Īnd as Malaika was testing her acting prowess with every new music video, came “Kitni Haseen Zindagi” opposite Lucky Ali. There was “Rangilo Maro Dholna” too from the same album that had enough emotions and acting on Malaika’s part. She struck similar chemistry with then-boyfriend Arbaaz Khan. In the midst of this we also got “Pyaar Ke Geet” by Shubha Mudgal, a complete departure for Malaika from her image of a style diva. Sung by Bally Sagoo featuring Malkit Singh, it’s still a part of our 90s nostalgia. Her exciting pairing with another heartthrob Jas Arora was mesmerising. Malaika’s first music video came a little before this - “Gur Nalon Ishq Mitha” which still remains one of her biggest hits. What she flaunted in 2000 hasn’t gone out of style even after two decades. Can we forget her pink crop top and the purple lipstick? Or for that matter, her black leather Catwoman LBD.
So was “Ekwari Tak Le” in Bichhoo, her second movie song with Bobby Deol. Her oomph to her gypsy look, the minutest detail was in complete sync. “Chaiyya Chaiyya” also happened to be Malaika’s entry into Bollywood.
