Hyderabad: A mother’s praise for her child can never seem enough, and for Malaika Arora, this sentiment perfectly captures her feelings for her son, Arhaan Khan.
On Sunday, Malaika attended JITO Connect 2025, participating in an engaging Q&A session with the audience.
When asked to name her favourite icon in the industry, Malaika admitted that she couldn’t single out just one, as she has drawn inspiration from many over the years.
“There are so many people I’ve looked up to throughout my career. I grew up watching Malayalam films—my mother is Malayali—so I’ve always admired the stars from those films,” she shared.
However, Malaika didn’t hesitate when it came to revealing her ultimate favourite person. Unsurprisingly, it’s her son, Arhaan Khan, whom she shares with her former husband Arbaaz Khan.
“If you ask me, my most favourite person in the world is my son. He is my most favourite,” she said.
Earlier, on Saturday, actor Sonu Sood also attended the JITO Connect 2025 event in Hyderabad.
The Jain International Trade Organisation (JITO) is a community of Jain industrialists, entrepreneurs, and professionals dedicated to shaping the future of both the community and society at large.
