Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan open up about love, relationships, and separation, say, 'everything comes with an expiry'

Bollywood actors Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan recently appeared on the debut episode of a new web show called Dumb Biryani, hosted by the latter’s son Arhaan, and his mates. The Khan brothers shared their thoughts on love and relationships during the show. They emphasised the importance of ending a relationship on good terms when the initial thrill has worn off. Sohail compared relationships to perishable items like medicine or food, suggesting that it's fine to part ways when the spark disappears. He stressed the value of maintaining good communication even after a breakup.

Sohail reflected on his own experience, sharing, "We often feel pressured in relationships, worrying about what will happen to ourselves or the other person. But there's a whole world out there. As long as you're happy together, keep it going. Don't let it turn bitter. That's when you start having negative feelings about each other.”

He also discussed how he coped with his own breakup by turning to sports and other activities to channel his energy positively. "After my breakup, I was lost at first. I took up sports, began swimming at night, and spent more time on the phone—something I normally didn't do. It's about knowing your worth and investing time in feeling good about yourself," said Sohail.

Arbaaz highlighted the need for giving in a relationship as opposed to just taking. He pointed out that many people enter relationships with the expectation of only receiving, neglecting to think about what they can give back. Arbaaz advised against relying solely on a partner for happiness and recommended ending relationships where deceit is involved.

"The best time to start a relationship is when you're ready to contribute, not just take. Most people forget what they can offer. Unless you're prepared to give, there's no real reason to be in a relationship. If you only take, it won't be sustainable," he said.

Arbaaz also mentioned that relationships stand a better chance of lasting if partners can talk openly and honestly like friends, without fear of being judged. He rounded off by saying, "Everything has an expiry date. Whether it's medicine, chocolate, or food, when the excitement in a relationship fades, it's best to move on respectfully. Talking things through is the best approach.”

Sohail was previously married to Seema Sajdeh until 2022 and they have two sons together. Arbaaz was married to Malaika Arora until 2017 and is now married to Sshura Khan. Arhaan is the son of Arbaaz and Malaika.
