Malaika Arora shared the story behind her close friendship with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor, crediting her sister Amrita Arora for sparking the bond. According to Malaika, Amrita and Kareena became fast friends in the industry's early days, having met through mutual friends and discovering shared interests. As their connection grew stronger, Karisma joined the circle and eventually, Malaika became part of the group, forming a sisterly bond over shared values, food, travel and supporting each other through life's ups and downs.
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Malaika said, "It was actually my sister. Amu (Amrita Arora) and Bebo (Kareena Kapoor), they were very good friends. They did films together. They have known each other… Back in the day, they had met and connected through common friends. They figured that there was a lot of commonality dono ke beech mei (between them)."
She further added, "Uske baad unhone kuch films bhi kiye saath mai (They did some films together). I think their friendship just got stronger and stronger. Then both the sisters came in and became part of the two of them. Then we all started. It’s literally like sister-sister bonding that happened over there."

"We have laughed, we have cried, fought, travelled. Food is a huge factor that binds us. The other thing is, I think we are all very similar. We come from very similar ways of upbringing… Similar backgrounds of growing up, parents. I think that is also what got us together… Two girls, sisters, sisterhood, that kind of bonding," said Malaika.
Malaika stated that her friendship with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor is not defined by petty issues, but rather by their ability to support each other during difficult times. She emphasized that being there for one another through tough periods is what truly matters in their relationship.
