Malaika Arora 'unbothered' by online trolling about her relationships: 'Block out the noise'

Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor's relationship has been massively trolled online ever since they went public. The 12-year age gap between the two attracted a lot of negative attention online. Her fans often wonder how she deals with online hate and criticism. 

To answer the question once and for all, Malaika candidly shared her secret to overcoming negative trolling in an interview with GlobalSpa Magazine. She said, “In the best way I can. There are times when you feel things don’t bother or affect me, but of course they do.”

She further added, “I have also figured out a way to deal with it, get strong about it and not let it pull me down, govern me or get the better out of me. I have figured out a way to insulate me to all of it. Yes, it’s part and parcel of our lives, there is constantly something, criticism, trolling but you just need to block out the noise, the negativity and move on with whatever is positive in your life.”
