"People are talking several things about us. They should think twice before speaking about a girl. It could affect her mental state," Bedi stated during the interview. He emphasised the importance of respect, adding, "Aisa karna nahin chahiye [They shouldn’t do it]."

Bedi explained that the perception of their relationship changed only because of his recent rise to fame. He noted that he has been part of the same social circle as Arora for years, but the public is only now taking notice.

"I have been partying with Vahbiz, Delnaz, and Malaika for many years. I earlier used to share pictures with Malaika, but at that time, I was not a known face. Now, I am a known face; hence, it is now being noticed by people."

Sorab and Malaika’s Friendship

The actor shared that his connection with Arora dates back to his early modelling days. He credited mentors Delnaz Daruwala and Vahbiz Mehta for introducing him to the industry and his current social group.

"Delnaz Daruwala and Vahbiz Mehta gave me a chance to walk the ramp during my modeling days. I became friends with them and started going out for parties," Bedi said. "At one of the parties, I met Malaika through my mentors... Hence, Malaika and I became friends. There is nothing between us."

Malaika Arora, 52, has been a frequent subject of media interest following her reported split from actor Arjun Kapoor last year. While she has also been linked to businessman Harsh Mehta in recent months, she has maintained a private stance on her personal life. ‘Splitsvilla 16’: Chakshdeep Singh EVICTED From Sunny Leone-Karan Kundrra’s Dating Show in Dramatic Dome Session.
