In a conversation with Curly Tales, Malaika talked about the necessity for women to be financially independent by keeping their finances separate from their partners. She said, “Independent rakhi baba. What is yours is yours, and what is mine is mine. I mean, when you get married or you're with someone, you try to infuse… you know, try to fuse a situation where you want to make everything one. But I feel it's very important to have your own identity.” She further said, “It's good that you're doing things together, but that doesn't mean you kind of give up your entire identity and take on somebody else's. As it is, you're taking on somebody else's last name, right? So I think the least you can do is hang on to your own bank account.”
