Talk:Malaika Arora

Untitled

The Trivia sections claims Malaika's real name is "Reema Lamba." However, Mallika Sherawat has the exact same "real name" more prominently displayed in her Wikipedia article, and I can find several Google articles supporting this. (Not the case with Malaika.) I think Malaika has been mixed up with Mallika. Can anyone get access to the TV episode mentioned as the source and confirm this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.35.96.127 (talk) 06:44, 12 February 2007

Having just done a MOSLOW cleanup on both articles, I suspect you might be right. I've invited User:Bhavesh.Chauhan, who made this addition, to come by and take a look. Mishatx *разговор* 06:58, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

New Image please

That is a HORRIBLE picture and does not do the actress justice. Can we get a new one? I'm unfamiliar with Wikipedia's picture/image policy or I would do it myself.

Birthdate

Is Rediff.com sufficiently reliable to establish her birthdate (this article indicates 23 October 1973 dob)? The same 40th birthday story is also covered by Hindustan Times and IBTmes Or are there conflicting sources? Dl2000 (talk) 21:47, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

I was going to add 23 August of the same year: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0037019/bio but your sources maybe fit better into the criteria of WP:RS. One solution would be to add both dates and state the disagreement. Munci (talk) 03:11, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

She herself confirmed in a talk show with Sajid Khan she is 2yr older than Arbaaz Khan. How come her age is 43 when Arbaaz age is 51 Smipatel (talk) 07:29, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

@Smipatel: You've responded to a discussion from 2015 where nobody is likely to respond. Do you have proof of this interview where she made that claim? Also, could it have been a joke? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 09:32, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 18 December 2021

hi all i want to change his name Other names Malaika Arora Khan to malaika arora Brajeshyadav1981 (talk) 15:19, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: @Brajeshyadav1981: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm afraid this isn't the correct venue to request additional user rights. Your account will automatically be made autoconfirmed once you make 7 more edits. That userright will grant you the ability to edit this page and any other semi-protected page on Wikipedia.

I've declined this request as it would appear based on the article and the provided source that she did have Khan in her name prior to seperation. Thus, I see no reason for that information to not be included within the infobox under Other names.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on my talk page or visit the Teahouse - a venue dedicated to helping new editors. Cheers! —Sirdog (talk) 23:51, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Malaika name

Malaika is an Arabic word for angel, and is common in Urdu language, not a Swahili name; although Swahili is, like Urdu, derived from Arabic and Persian vocabulary structured by Bantu grammar. this just like Urdu using Perso-Arabic, Tukic/Pashto vocabulary using Khariboli/Prakrit grammar. 2A02:C7C:AEC7:EA00:B422:7EC1:CD29:3B0 (talk) 06:31, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Since the word 'malaika' means angel in Swahili as well [1], and the subject herself said that in the source interview that her name was adopted from the Swahili version of it and not Arabic, we will keep the 'Swahili' part, in accordance to WP:BLPPRIVACY policy. Mention anything other than that would be contravening the said policy, apart from WP:OR. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:08, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
