STP 40 Over 40 Awards: How Addite Malik's Husband Mohit Won Over Audience

The SheThePeople 40 Over 40 Awards shine a light on women who have made significant contributions to their respective fields, inspiring others with their work and breaking barriers of age, gender, and societal norms. These women have not only brought their unique perspectives to their industries but have also encouraged fellow women to pursue their dreams fearlessly.

Addite Malik: From Performer to Restaurateur

Former television actor Addite Malik, known for her roles in popular shows like Shararat and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, made a remarkable transition from the entertainment industry to the world of hospitality. Married to actor Mohit Malik and a mother to young Ekbir, Addite ventured into the restaurant business alongside her husband. Together, they founded Homemade Cafe in Andheri, Mumbai, which quickly gained popularity among locals.

Transitioning from acting to entrepreneurship, Addite Malik's journey exemplifies determination. The success of Homemade Cafe spurred the couple to expand their culinary ventures, leading to the establishment of 1BHK and several other eateries across Mumbai and Bangalore.

Although Addite couldn't be present at the award ceremony, her husband and actor Mohit Malik graciously accepted the SheThePeople 40 Over 40 Award in the entrepreneur-hospitality category on her behalf.

Words of Gratitude

Upon receiving the award, Mohit Malik shared, "This is all because of Aditi, and I am immensely proud of her. She started from a small cafe in Mumbai, and now she has eight brands in Mumbai and Bangalore. I am very proud of her." 

Malik, a proud husband and supportive partner, attributes much of Addite's success to her dedication and vision. He acknowledges her decision to shift careers for the sake of their relationship and expresses gratitude for her unwavering support. In a heartfelt acceptance speech on Addite's behalf, Mohit emphasises her role in their joint ventures and celebrates her entrepreneurial achievements. 

Though unable to attend the ceremony, Addite expressed heartfelt appreciation for her husband's unwavering support and wished she could have been there to celebrate alongside him.

Supportive Partnership

In a candid conversation with SheThePeople, Addite reflected on the importance of her husband's support in her journey. She shared, "My husband is very just in everything he does. He loves me a lot and is my best friend. I owe everything to him. Whatever I have achieved is because of him, and I am proud of that fact."

Yet she emphasised, "He hasn't pampered me. He provides me with reality checks. He treats me emotionally, and I believe every woman should demand equal treatment and the freedom to pursue what they excel at."

Can unwavering support from a partner and personal resilience pave the way for a flourishing relationship where both partners thrive and grow? Aditi and Mohit's relationship is a living example of this dynamic duo supporting each other's dreams and achieving success together.
