Malaika Arora, who rose to fame after the Dil Se song “Chaiyya Chaiyya”, recently claimed that she has made her career out of being criticised and trolled. Malaika, who often makes headlines for dating Arjun Kapoor, a man younger to her, and gets trolled for her ‘duck walk’, said she is “immune to it.”
In an interview with the Hindustan Times, when asked how she reacts to all the trolling that she faces, the actor said, “Everybody works very hard and puts in loads of efforts to make their brand, and nobody is looking for a short cut. But, if you see my entire trajectory, I’ve made a career out of being criticised and trolled for my choices, for the person that I am, what I wear, for everything. So, it has been a part of my entire career, and hence, I’m very immune to it.”
Malika Arora also revealed why she often chooses to ignore all the negative comments on her social media posts. She said, “I will engage with them (trolls) the day I feel that it needs to be addressed and if I feel somebody is going after someone close to me or my near ones or dear ones, my loved ones, then of course, it requires me to stand up and say something. Otherwise, I won’t waste my time, energy, my breath and my sanity. I don’t think it’s worth it.”

She added, “I have got other things to do and worry about. I don’t need to justify anything to anyone whether it’s my personal or professional life. I don’t owe anybody an explanation.”
However, the actor urged people to not mistake her silence for being complacent and said, “I maintain a certain level of silence because I choose to be like that. I don’t like and want that extra noise. That’s how I keep my sanity intact, and I am happy like that.”
