We know that showbiz marriages don’t usually last for long, but the frequency with which couples, especially in Bollywood, are now splitting is mind-boggling.

The latest case in point is that of the uber-attractive item song specialist Malaika Arora and her well-connected husband Arbaz Khan. They seemed to be the unlikeliest of pairs to part ways. But there’s nothing more unpredictable in this world than a showbiz hookup.

Insiders say that Malaika A has moved out of the house where both had been living for many years, and has shifted to her sister’s flat with her son. Well, all I can say, nay pray, is that sanity prevails.
