Malaika Arora Burqa Video Controversy – Bollywood’s glamorous queen Malaika Arora is in the news these days more because of her personal life and social media posts than her films. Recently, a video of hers has been going viral on social media, in which she is seen wearing a burqa in the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi. As soon as this video surfaced, fans were shocked, and some people started raising questions about religion. Let us understand this entire matter in simple language.
Malaika was seen in a burqa in the mosque; fans made strange comments
Actually, Malaika Arora recently visited Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. During this time, she also shared a video on her Instagram, in which she was seen covered from head to toe and was also wearing shoes on her feet. As soon as the video surfaced, users gave different types of reactions.
Someone called her ‘Rakhi Sawant like drama’, while someone made fun of her by writing ‘Salaam Valekum Salaam Bhabhi’. One user directly asked the question: How many times have you visited Ram Temple, Jagannath Temple and Tirupati Balaji? Why does just going to the mosque bring so much happiness? At the same time, some people also said that Malaika has changed her religion. However, these are just social media reactions; there is no official confirmation.

Who is Sarvesh Shashi, whose name is being linked with Malaika?
In this entire incident, another name has come into discussion – Sarvesh Shashi. Actually, not only Malaika but also yoga guru and entrepreneur Sarvesh Shashi were present in the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Some pictures of both of them surfaced on social media, after which people started linking their names.
Now let us know about Sarvesh Shashi. Sarvesh is a yoga practitioner, entrepreneur and writer by profession. Sarvesh, born on 15 April 1992, is the founder of the yoga studio chain and wellness platform SARVA. He has also been included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list.
The special thing is that Sarvesh and Malaika are not only good friends but also business partners. Together, they started a wellness platform named Diva Yoga in 2018, which focuses on yoga, especially for women. That is, the professional connection between them is quite old, and they are often seen together at Diva Yoga Studio in Mumbai.
Malaika’s personal life: from divorce from Arbaaz to Arjun
Malaika Arora has not yet made any clear announcement about her relationship status. Before this, she was in a relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor. Both of them made their relationship official in 2018 and lived together for about 6 years, but they broke up in 2024. Even after the breakup, Malaika had called Arjun an ‘important part’ of her life.
At the same time, Malaika’s first marriage was with Arbaaz Khan, with whom she also has a son, Arhaan. Both of them got divorced in the year 2017. Malaika is now 52 years old and is very confident about her life. In an interview, she said that at the time of the divorce, she had to face a lot of judgment from family and friends, but she has no regrets about her decision.
Did Malaika really change her religion?
Among the comments being made on social media, the biggest question is whether Malaika has changed her religion. There is no official confirmation of this. Malaika herself has not given any such statement. Going to a mosque or wearing a burqa is not the only attire required when visiting a religious place, as is commonly seen in places like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
It is wrong to link this with religious conversion. At the same time, her pictures with Sarvesh Shashi are only of them being together as business partners, which is also just a rumour to be termed a dating rumour.
Overall, this video of Malaika Arora is of a visit to a religious place, which is being unnecessarily exaggerated on social media. Sarvesh Shashi is her business partner and the pictures of both of them have come out only because of their professional connection. Malaika is very private about her personal life and has made it clear time and again that her life is not limited to relationships only.
