Mumbai: Divorces and separations are traumatic and painful. It not only shatters two people but also tears two souls apart. When our 'Chaiyya-Chaiyya' girl, Malaika Arora put an end to her 18-years marriage, it came as a shock to everyone.

The former Model came on Kareena Kapoor Khan's celebrity radio chat show 'What Women Want' where she revealed what everyone around her had to say about her decision and what reactions she received from her family and friends.
"I think sab ki pehli yehi raai hai ki mat karna. Koi aapko nahi kahega ki, 'Haan, haan, please jayiye, kariye.' That's the first thing, ki aap soch samajh ke yeh decision lena. I went through the same thing," she said.
Malaika said her family advised her to think twice about her decision as there is no coming back. They made her sit a night before her legal separation procedure was due "Even the night before I got divorced, I had my family sit with me and ask me yet again, 'Are you sure? Are you 100 per cent about your decision?' So I think that was something I heard all along and rightly so. These are the people who worry and care so they will definitely say that."
The actress further said after once her friends and family members became sure of her decision and that she was certain of ending her marriage, they stood by her.
"Everybody said, 'If this is the decision that you're making, then we're really proud of you and in our eyes, you are a strong woman.' So for me, that kind of gave me that extra strength that I needed."
