In a tragic development, Bollywood actress and model Malaika Arora has lost her father, Anil Arora. The news broke earlier this morning (September 11), though the cause of death has not yet been disclosed. Shortly after the news surfaced, her ex-husband, actor Arbaaz Khan, was seen arriving at her mother Joyce Polycarp's residence.
According to the ANI report, Malaika Arora's father, Anil Arora, sadly passed away. Soon, her ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, was snapped arriving at her mother's residence on Wednesday afternoon. Further details regarding the demise are still awaited. The family and close friends are in shock following this heartbreaking news.
In addition to Arbaaz Khan, his parents, Salim Khan and Salma Khan, along with his brother Sohail Khan, also came to pay their last respects. Alvira Khan was also seen arriving at Malaika Arora's mother's home after the tragic loss of her father.
When Malaika was 11, her parents separated, leading her to relocate to Chembur in Mumbai with her mother and sister, Amrita. Her father, Anil Arora, hailed from Fazilka, a border town, and worked in the Indian Merchant Navy. Reflecting on her past, she earlier told Grazia that while her childhood was filled with happy moments, it was also full of challenges. In hindsight, she views it as a turbulent time.
However, she expressed that those difficult experiences taught her valuable life lessons. The separation of her parents gave her a new perspective on her mother, allowing her to see her strength in a different light.
She also emphasized how those early years shaped her strong work ethic and a deep sense of independence. Waking up each day with determination became a guiding principle for her, driving her to live life on her own terms. "Those early lessons are the cornerstones of my life and professional journey. I am still fiercely independent. I value my freedom and live life on my terms. The world could be going crazy around me, but these fundamental attitudes imbibed during my formative years hold me in good stead," she added.
Arbaaz and Malaika were married for 19 years before they decided to part ways in 2016, with their divorce being finalized in 2017. Since then, Arbaaz has remarried, finding companionship with makeup artist Sshura Khan. Malaika had been in a relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor for several years, though recent reports suggest they may have quietly ended the same.
Malaika and Arbaaz share a son, Arhaan, who was born in 2002 and remains a cherished part of their lives.
