Malaika Arora on breakup rumours with Arjun Kapoor
Amid the rumours about her "on-off relationship" with Arjun, Malaika told Hello magazine that the internet can be a very toxic place. "I have somehow built a mechanism - or shield, I would say - around me where I don't let the negativity through anymore,"
She further stated, "I've insulated myself from it. Whether it's people, a work environment, social media or trolls. The minute I feel that energy, I recoil instantly. It's something I've learned to do over time. It would get to me earlier and I would lose sleep over it. I'd be lying if I said things don't affect me at all - I'm human too and so I will cry, break down and have all the emotions associated with being trolled. But you'll never see that in public."
Malaika says she doesn't feel the need to respond to "some nameless, faceless person on the internet and justify herself to them."
"Trolls mean nothing to me," she said.
"I'm aware of everything, I'm not living under a rock - but I just distance myself from it."
When asked about love, Malaika says she's a true romantic. "I'll never give up on the idea of true love, no matter what. I'm a typical Scorpio that way, so I'll fight for love till the very end - but I'm also very realistic and know where to draw the line," she added.
Why did the rumours start up again?

Arjun's cousins, Janhvi Kapoor, and Shanaya Kapoor, were seen arriving at his place around midnight. Sanjay Kapoor and his wife, Maheep Kapoor, were also photographed outside Arjun's apartment.
