Mumbai: Arbaz Khan opened about his divorce with Malaika Arora and shared why it was necessary to get separated.

Talking about their son Arhaan's reaction, he said, "My boy was almost 12 at that time, he had a fair understanding. He was aware of what was happening. There wasn’t much to explain to him."
After the divorce of the duo, Arhaan's custody was given to Malaika, to which, Arhaan said that he will always be there for his son. He didn't get into a fight for custody because their son is young and needs his mother.
