The latest episode of ‘Dumb Biryani’, a candid talk show, became the talk of the nation as popular Bollywood icon Malaika Arora took the seat opposite her son Arhaan Khan, who didn’t shy away from asking his mother some very personal questions.
Arhaan, co-host of the ‘Dumb Biryani’ podcast alongside Dev Rayani, decided to put his mother in the hot seat during a segment called ‘Truth or Spice’, where guests are required to answer questions truthfully or take on a spicy challenge. It was a unique scenario as both mother and son navigated the unscripted terrain of the episode, and Arhaan didn’t hold back when he asked about his mother’s marriage plans, sparking curiosity and surprise among listeners.
“The entire nation wants to know this, show me your hand, mother when are you getting married? I want an exact date, venue, and to whom,” Arhaan Khan posed the question to Malaika Arora with an eager audience tuning in for her response.
The moment Arhaan asked the question, Malaika reached for the mirchi, a symbolic gesture signifying her decision to opt for the spicy forfeit over divulging details of her personal life. Despite her playful diversion, Malaika expressed to her son, “I can’t answer that. I don’t have the answer to that, so I can’t answer that. I think I’m living my best life now.”
During the revealing episode, Arhaan also questioned his mother about the qualities he’s inherited from his father, Arbaaz Khan. Malaika responded candidly, highlighting the mannerisms and character traits that Arhaan shares with his dad. “Your mannerisms are just like him, it’s shocking how similar you are, even the way you twitch, it’s just like your dad. All your mannerisms are just like your dad,” she explained.
As the conversation progressed, Malaika touched on the finer nuances of their personalities and shared her insights on what she admires and what frustrates her about these inherited traits. Malaika appreciated Arhaan’s sense of fairness, a quality she attributes to his father Arbaaz, but admitted that the shared indecisiveness between father and son could be trying at times.
The episode wasn’t only about family introspection and fun game segments. Malaika also took a moment to discuss her relationship with Arjun Kapoor. Previously described as “true love” by Malaika in an interview with Brides Today, their relationship has been subject to public attention due to their age difference. Nevertheless, Malaika has consistently praised Arjun for his wisdom, depth of soul, and caring nature. She emphasized how liberating it is to be in a relationship unencumbered by society’s preoccupations with labels.
Malaika’s appearance on ‘Dumb Biryani’ gave an alluring glimpse into the dynamics of a family that lives in the limelight. The blend of personal disclosure, laughter, and lighthearted confrontation provided an entertaining and relatable experience for the audience. While it was Arhaan’s curiosity that led to the spicy inquiry about Malaika’s potential nuptials, she skillfully navigated the question, leaving fans still wondering about her marital plans.
This mother-son duo proved that their bond is stronger than the spiciest of challenges, and even when faced with probing questions, they can handle it with grace and humor. The episode was a true testament to their relationship and their ability to keep the public engaged, entertained, and looking forward to the next serving of ‘Dumb Biryani’.
