Bollywood actress and model Malaika Arora has faced a lot of tough times in her life lately. She reportedly broke up with actor Arjun Kapoor earlier this year and then lost her father Anil Mehta recently. Meanwhile, Malaika spoke about the strength she finds to fight these delicate situations and how she is standing strong during a recent interview.

The actress said, "You have to dig deep inside yourself to find strength. While my family, friends and work are important for peace of mind, the people around me also play a vital role in keeping me grounded and strong. Their support is what gives me the strength to hold everything together."

Talking about her girl gang Malaika said, "Honestly, I am nothing without my girlfriends. They take care of me, support me, encourage me and keep me grounded. They are everything to me". According to media reports, Malaika has a famous girl gang, which includes Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor and Amrita Arora, who always stand by her in her time of need.

Now, recently Malaika's father Anil Mehta passed away at his Mumbai residence in September this year. Prior to this incident, Malaika was in the Maldives for a cover shoot. At that time, Malaika released an official statement and asked for privacy from the media and well-wishers during this difficult time.

Earlier this year, reports of Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor's alleged breakup had surfaced. Earlier, Malaika had left fans worried when she did not attend Arjun's midnight birthday party at his Juhu residence in June. She also did not wish him on social media, leading to speculations about their possible breakup. Later, Malaika spotted Arjun at an event when they ignored each other, giving fans a clear hint that they have broken up.
