MALAIKA ARORA ACTOR, MODEL, FITNESS ADVOCATE & RESTAURATEUR

Indian actor, dancer, model, VJ, fitness enthusiast and television personality Malaika Arora inspires with her refreshing take on life and living. She recently set up Scarlett House in Bandra, Mumbai, with restaurateurs Dhaval Udeshi, her son Arhaan Khan and Malaya Nagpal.

"2025 gives me hope as a year of possibilities and transformation. I find hope in new chapters and meaningful collaborations. Collaborating with my son Arhaan to step into the food and beverage industry has taught me the beauty of creating something authentic and meaningful. It's a space where our creativity meets our values - wellness, flavour, and connection. It has been a deeply fulfilling journey.

This year, I look forward to creating spaces that nourish not just the body but also the soul.

MALAIKA'S ADVICE FOR YOU IN 2025:

"Step into 2025 with self-belief and purpose. Remember, every challenge is an opportunity to grow and thrive! Let this be the year you embrace your passions with courage and nurture connections that matter. Invest in yourself and your dreams. Prioritise health, cherish your loved ones, and celebrate every little victory. I wish you a joyful and fulfilling year ahead. Here's to growth, joy, and balance!"

"As an actor and fitness advocate, I've always believed in transformation and resilience. For me, 2025 symbolises a year of growth, exploration, and new beginnings.
