Bollywood Actor Malaika Arora’s Father Passes Away in Tragic Incident.
It is with deep sorrow that we report the passing of Anil Arora, father of Bollywood actor Malaika Arora, who died by suicide this morning in Mumbai. The tragic incident occurred around 9 a.m. in Bandra, where Mr. Arora reportedly jumped from his apartment building.
The Mumbai Police have confirmed the incident and have initiated an investigation. The body has been sent for post-mortem, and senior police officers, along with the actor’s ex-husband Arbaz Khan, have arrived at her residence to offer support and cooperate with the ongoing probe.
Malaika Arora, a prominent figure in the Indian film industry, was born in Thane, Maharashtra. Her parents divorced when she was just 11 years old, after which she moved to Chembur with her mother, Joyce Polycarp, and sister, Amrita Arora. Her father, Anil Arora, was of Punjabi heritage and had served in the Indian Merchant Navy.
In a recent interview, Malaika had opened up about the impact of her parents’ separation, describing her childhood as “wonderful” yet “tumultuous.” She shared how the experience allowed her to see her mother in a new light and shaped her perspective on life.
This tragic loss has left the family and close associates in deep grief. The Arora family requests privacy during this difficult time.
