Trigger Warning: The article contains mention of death.
In a tragic turn of events, Bollywood actress and model Malaika Arora's father Anil Arora passed away today. The news broke earlier this morning (September 11, 2024), with investigating officers hinting at a possible suicide. Malaika and her sister, Amrita Arora, quickly returned to their mother’s residence in Bandra after learning about the tragic news.
Reports indicate that Malaika, who was in Pune, hurried back to her mother's home as soon as the news surfaced. News agency ANI first reported that Arora's father, Anil Arora, has sadly passed away. Arora's son Arhaan Khan also arrived at his grandparents' home to pay his condolences.
Moreover, actor-producer Arbaaz Khan was spotted arriving at Malaika's family home in Mumbai amid reports. Police personnel, as well as media persons, were spotted outside the apartment. Arjun Kapoor, Seema Sajdeh, Sohail Khan, Salim Khan, Alvira Agnihotri, and others also arrived to pay condolences to the actress and be with her family during tough times.
Malaika's parents separated when she was 11 years old, leading her to move to Chembur with her mother and sister Amrita. Her mother, Joyce Polycarp, is of Malayali Christian background, while her father, Anil Arora, was a Punjabi Hindu from Fazilka, a border town in India, and served in the Indian Merchant Navy.
In an old interview with Grazia, Malaika revealed that her parents' separation offered her a renewed view of her mother. She highlighted that this situation imparted crucial lessons about developing a strong work ethic and the necessity of being fiercely independent. She considered these early experiences as fundamental to her life and career, underscoring that she continues to embrace independence, value her freedom, and live according to her principles.
Arora also noted that while she isn’t a “helicopter mom,” she adopts a firm parenting style. She feels she has successfully struck a balance between being both a parent and a friend. According to her, her son Arhaan knows he can discuss anything with her whenever he needs to.
She believes children must have a supportive yet non-intrusive environment. Malaika described herself as approachable and easygoing and not someone who constantly oversees their children's every move.
