Malaika Arora Reunites with Salman Khan’s Family: Hosts Lunch for Alvira, Arpita & 4 Kids – 5 Inside Moments Revealed
Malaika Arora reunites with Salman Khan’s family, hosts lunch for Alvira, Arpita, and 4 kids. See 5 heartwarming moments from the intimate gathering
In a move that has surprised fans and sparked fresh interest across Bollywood circles, actress and fashion icon Malaika Arora reunited with Salman Khan’s family for a private lunch hosted at her Mumbai residence. The exclusive gathering included Alvira Khan Agnihotri, Arpita Khan Sharma, and their children, marking a warm moment of reconnection amid past history and public speculation.
While Malaika’s equation with Salman Khan remains complicated due to her divorce from Arbaaz Khan in 2017, the get-together with the Khan sisters suggests a matured, cordial bond that transcends personal differences. The event, held earlier this week, was intimate yet lively, with sources revealing five key inside moments that made this reunion truly special.
Here’s everything you need to know about the lunch, what it means for the Arora-Khan dynamic, and the reactions pouring in from fans and industry insiders.
According to sources close to the family, it was Malaika who extended a personal invitation to Alvira and Arpita. The move came as a gesture of goodwill and reconciliation, aiming to nurture old ties that were once deeply rooted in family and shared experiences.
Alvira Khan Agnihotri, a producer and Salman’s elder sister, reportedly accepted the invite graciously, and Arpita, who shares a close friendship with Malaika’s sister Amrita Arora, didn’t hesitate to join in.
The guest list was kept extremely private, limited only to Alvira, Arpita, and their four children – giving the meet-up a homely, relaxed atmosphere rather than a high-profile celebrity event.
Sources confirm that the lunch was personally supervised by Malaika, who ensured a healthy yet indulgent spread for her guests. Known for her culinary interests and wellness-oriented lifestyle, Malaika curated a menu that balanced traditional flavors with modern plating.
Some of the dishes reportedly included:
Quinoa biryani with vegetable kebabs
Grilled chicken with couscous salad
A light mango panna cotta for dessert
The lunch lasted over three hours, with the kids enjoying playtime in the garden area while the adults bonded over old memories and fresh conversations. Insiders described the atmosphere as “light, affectionate, and surprisingly normal”, especially given the media noise often surrounding Malaika’s personal life.
While neither Salman Khan nor Arbaaz Khan was present at the lunch, their absence did not dampen the spirit of the event. In fact, it made room for a stress-free reunion, focusing entirely on the women of the family and their children.
Malaika has often maintained cordial relations with Arbaaz Khan post their separation, especially for the sake of their son Arhaan Khan, who is currently studying abroad. Arbaaz himself has moved on and recently remarried, while Malaika continues to maintain a public relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor.
This lunch, therefore, symbolized a new chapter—one of co-existence, mutual respect, and evolved boundaries within blended Bollywood families.
The most heartwarming element of the reunion came from the youngest guests—the children of Arpita and Alvira—who were seen playing freely with Malaika, completely unaffected by past complexities. From indoor games to garden hide-and-seek, the kids reportedly enjoyed themselves immensely.
Malaika, known for being affectionate with children, reportedly clicked a few candid selfies and group shots with them, some of which may be shared on social media in the coming days. One insider even described how Arpita’s daughter playfully called Malaika “Maasi”, which drew smiles and soft laughter from everyone.
Such moments underscore how children often become bridges in rebuilding relationships that adults may overcomplicate.
As soon as news of the lunch broke out—thanks to a few discreetly leaked photos showing Alvira arriving at Malaika’s apartment—social media platforms lit up with curiosity and support. Fans and Bollywood observers lauded the women for showing maturity, grace, and familial solidarity, despite the odds.
On Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), hashtags like #MalaikaArora, #KhanFamily, and #BollywoodReunion began trending. Comments ranged from admiration to curiosity, with many expressing hope that such reunions reflect a new, more progressive Bollywood, where personal boundaries are respected and family bonds continue despite breakups.
“This is what maturity looks like. So proud of Malaika and the Khan ladies,” wrote one fan on Instagram.
“Arpita and Alvira showing real class by attending. Malaika’s gesture is commendable,” tweeted another.
This reunion is more than just a celebrity lunch—it represents a wider shift in Bollywood’s understanding of relationships, where divorce or breakups no longer equate to enmity between extended family members. The once-rigid family structures within the industry are giving way to more fluid, respectful dynamics.
Malaika’s willingness to reconnect with Arpita and Alvira, and their warm response, shows that:
Personal history doesn’t have to define future relationships
Women in Bollywood are taking charge of emotional diplomacy
Children and friendships often outlast romantic relationships
It’s also worth noting that Amrita Arora continues to maintain strong ties with the Khan family, especially with Arpita. That long-standing friendship may have paved the way for this get-together and may even hint at more such quiet reunions in the future.
While neither party has confirmed plans for future meetups, the success of this lunch could very well encourage more low-key family interactions. There’s speculation that a Diwali or Ganesh Chaturthi gathering could be on the cards, especially since both Malaika and the Khan sisters host annual festive events.
Also, as Arhaan Khan and Arpita’s children grow, maintaining a friendly family environment will be important, especially during shared functions, birthdays, or weddings in the future.
Whether or not Malaika and Salman ever publicly reconcile remains unclear, but her bond with Alvira and Arpita appears to have quietly withstood the test of time.
