Malaika and Arbaaz have issued a statement.
They have asked for privacy.
They married in 1998.
Dismissing rumors about Malaika having consulted a divorce lawyer as 'disturbing,' the statement reads, "The truth is, we have taken a break, but that doesn't mean people can presume, assume and speculate things of such malicious nature. We are taking out time to figure out our lives."
Malaika and Arbaaz also explain why they have released a statement now: "We have maintained a dignified silence till now but it is causing us too much confusion and is disturbing for our families. To put all of the speculation to rest, we are giving out this statement. People claiming to be our friends and sources have been speaking on our behalf giving out wrong, malicious information. They have maligned us for long and we have kept quiet and not said a word as it's a personal matter between us. We have got a child and our families are involved, but just because we have not said anything till now, it doesn't give anybody the license to speculate on any rubbish about us."
Arbaaz tweeted a link to the DNA report saying:
Humble request to the media, stop speculating and leave us alone. Will talk when ready, please respect our privacy. https://t.co/Coj78XAWEo
