When Dil Se released in 1998, the song Chaiyya Chaiyya become an instant hit and with it, model Malaika Arora was catapulted into the Hindi film firmament. Dancing atop a train with Shah Rukh Khan was Malaika. However, before that she was known as an MTV VJ.

On Thursday, Malaika shared a throwback picture from the time when she used to host a programme on MTV channel called MTV Loveline, along with ‘funnyman’ Cyrus Broacha. Sharing it, she wrote: “Now that’s a major #throwbackthursday ... this is were it all began for me , on the sets of #Mtvloveline with the one n only #cyrusbroacha (always lookin hungry n waiting to run home )... miss those days .... circa 1998 #gloriousdays#mtvlovelineforver#myredcouch#mtvvjs”

Malaika went on to marry actor-producer Arbaaz Khan the same year. After 19 years of marriage, the two divorced in 2017. They have a son together, Arhaan. Malaika has been in news since quite a few months over her relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor. After avoiding questions on their relationship status, the Panipat actor recently confirmed that Malaika and he were in a relationship.

Speaking to Filmfare, he said: “We’ve come out because we feel the media has given us dignity. There’s a certain understanding the media has... they’ve been respectful, kind, honest and decent about it. That is why I felt comfortable. You recoil when there’s a certain ‘gandhagi’ that comes with the territory. When purposely people irk you by saying, writing or asking things... there hasn’t been any of that.”
