Despite their split, Arbaaz insists his equation with Malaika's family has remained unchanged. In an earlier interview with mid-day, Arbaaz said, "My association with Malaika spans over two decades. So, I have always been on good terms with her family. We celebrated special occasions earlier too. If things haven't gone well between us, it doesn't mean that the equation with the family changes. They still have a lot of love and affection for me and I have respect for them. Malaika wasn't with us on New Year's, but was there a few days before that. But, that's not the point. We are very amicable."
The two do not want their teenage son, Arhaan, to be affected by their separation. "We are responsible parents and don't want our child to get affected. We want him to grow up in a healthy atmosphere rather than be worried if his parents will confront each other when they meet. Malaika and I are mature individuals and don't want anyone around us to be affected," he said.
