Salman Khan's commitment to family, both immediate and extended, has once again been highlighted, with a recent heartfelt gesture including Malaika Arora and Seema Sajdeh. This display of solidarity underscores the strong bonds that persist even amidst personal separations and evolving relationships.
The gesture follows the recent passing of Malaika Arora's father, Anil Kuldip Mehta. Despite no longer being married to Salman's brother Arbaaz Khan since their split in 2017, the Khan family demonstrated unwavering support during this difficult time. Seema Sajdeh, Sohail Khan's ex-wife, lauded Salman and his family for their consistent support towards Malaika. She emphasized that their actions exemplify the true meaning of family, especially in times of crisis.
According to Sajdeh, Salman, who was occupied with a shoot outside Mumbai, immediately returned to the city upon hearing the news and visited Malaika to offer his condolences. This act of empathy resonated deeply, not only with Malaika but also with observers who appreciated the family's loyalty.
Seema Sajdeh highlighted that the Khan family's support extends beyond public appearances, emphasizing their genuine concern and care during challenging times. She noted that Sohail Khan, her ex-husband, was also present to comfort Malaika. Sajdeh, who separated from Sohail Khan in 2022 after 24 years of marriage, expressed that this display of unity reinforced her sense of family.
In an interview with News18, Seema Sajdeh conveyed her admiration for Salman and his family, stating, "They are rocks. When it comes to a crisis or if you need anything, they are all there. That's what makes them this family they are". She also visited Malaika’s home to console her friend.
Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan's divorce in 2017 marked the end of their 19-year marriage. They share a son, Arhaan Khan. Following her separation from Arbaaz, Malaika was in a relationship with Arjun Kapoor, which reportedly ended earlier this year. Arbaaz Khan recently married make-up artist Sshura Khan.
The Khan family's gesture of support towards Malaika, and Seema's acknowledgment of their unwavering presence, highlights the enduring power of familial bonds and the importance of standing together during life's challenges. It reinforces the idea that family extends beyond traditional definitions, encompassing those who offer love, support, and comfort, regardless of changing relationships.
