Despite Salman Khan trying to convince Malaika Arora Khan, the actress didn't change her mind.

It came as a shock to a lot of fans when separation reports of 'Power Couple' Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora Khan were out. In this season of break-ups and divorces, Malaiaka and Arbaaz have joined the list that already consists of Ranbir-Katrina, Virat-Anushka and Farhan Akhtar-Adhuna. 

Now, recent reports suggest that it was the 'Chhaiya Chhaiya' actress who wanted out. Even after being coaxed by her parents and Arbaaz's family including Salman, Malaika has reportedly decided to end their marriage after all. 

In a report in bollywoodhungama, a source says, "Basically Malaika has been very troubled with Arbaaz's lack of success in his career. How long will he live in his superstar-brother's shadows? That's what she has asking from the inception of their marriage. Malaika has never come to terms with the Khan parivars close bonding with one another. She has always felt like an outsider. Now when Salman is talking to Malaika to encourage a reconciliation he is forgetting he never approved of the way she dressed, of the work she did and the friends she had. Salman and Malaika hardly share a bond were he can tell her salvage her marriage with his brother."

The source added that the couple had started drifting apart quite sometime ago. These days Malaika has reportedly grown close to a rich Indian in London.
