Malaika is a passionate yoga practitioner and encourages all to take an hour out from the routine for exercise. Sometime back too, putting out a picture with her doing a derivation of sirsasana (headstand), Malaika had written: “The point isn’t how well you performed today, the point is that you showed up. Wake up and show up everyday. The one hour you spend everyday for yourself to be physically and mindfully fit is the most important one hour.”

On the films front, Malaika hasn’t been seen in one for a long time. However, one of her hit song, Munni Badnaam Hui, from the first edition of the Dabangg franchise got a new lease of life as the makers of Dabanng 3 launched a new song, Munna Badnaam Hua.
