Malaika Arora Talks Yoga, Duck Walk, Ghee Therapy & More On Sunday Brunch With Kamiya Jani

Most episodes of Sunday Brunch ease you in with food, but one didn’t. It opened with Malaika Arora asking you to get on the mat. Not in a “light stretch and chat” way, but properly with warm-up, stretches, Surya Namaskar, and then that one move you secretly hope gets skipped: a headstand in our Sunday Brunch episode with Kamiya Jani, our Editor-in-Chief. 

Malaika Arora’s Yoga Routine Is More Than Stretching

Somewhere after the movement, you expect cocktails. Instead, Malaika Arora walks you to what she calls a home bar, but it’s filled with wellness shots. So there are immunity boosters instead of alcohol. She even slips in a ghee therapy ritual, the kind that sounds niche until she explains it like it’s just another part of her day.

Following her routine, even briefly, doesn’t feel performative; it feels earned. Also, she quietly clears the air around yoga myths people cling to: no, it’s not just stretching, and no, you don’t need to be flexible to begin. 

Then comes the internet’s favourite question, her viral “duck walk.” She doesn’t laugh it off, but explains it. Doctors suggested it, she says; it helps with her alignment. And yes, they try it there; it’s awkward, a little funny, and very human.

Malaika Arora On Love, Motherhood & Raising A Gen Z Son

The shift to Sweeney Bombay feels natural after that, her venture into hospitality, and did we mention, it serves amazing food? The recommendations aren’t overthought: Green Thai curry with rice, and mango sticky rice. Both are things she orders often, and sometimes recreates at home. 

The conversation slows down when Kamiya Jani, our Editor-in-Chief, decides to make it personal and asks her about her love life as a single mom. As a single mother, she doesn’t frame love as something missing or urgent. She just says she’s open to it, but she is not rushing to plan it. That’s where she draws the line, because, according to her, it doesn’t work that way.

There’s a softer note as she talks about raising a Gen Z kid; she also talks in detail and with heartwarming depth about her relationship with Arhaan. 

And then, just before things get too introspective, the rapid-fire round cuts in with questions about ageing, Googling things you won’t admit to, or cancelling plans because bedtime wins.
