Man, this is such sad news. Malaika Arora’s dad, Anil Arora, passed away in a really tragic way on September 11, 2024. He was 74 years old and supposedly ended his life by jumping from the terrace of his home in Bandra, Mumbai. It’s left Malaika and the whole family totally devastated. Not just them, even the entire Bollywood industry is in shock.
The police are still investigating, and they haven’t found a note or anything explaining why this happened. People are just confused right now. Was it an accident, or was it something more? No one knows for sure.
Investigation Still On
Police from Panjab have been called in to figure out what really happened. They’re looking into whether this was intentional, an accident, or something more suspicious. His body has already been sent for a post-mortem, and we’re all just waiting to hear what the final result will be.
Meanwhile, Malaika’s ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, is by her side, supporting her and the family during this super tough time. Honestly, it’s nice to see them coming together, despite everything that’s happened in the past.
Mental Health Struggles?
A lot of people on social media have been talking about how Anil Arora was dealing with mental health problems. While nothing official has been confirmed yet, it seems like he might’ve been going through some really tough times. Anil was born around 1950 in Fazilka, India, and was a former Indian army officer. After he retired, things apparently got hard for him.
Anil and Malaika’s mom, Poyce Polycarp, got divorced a long time ago, and Anil stayed away from his family for like three decades. He had two kids with Poyce—Malaika and Amrita. After the divorce, the kids moved in with their mom in Chembur, and Anil kind of drifted apart. Malaika even said once that her childhood was great but also pretty tough. I guess the divorce had a huge impact on them.
A Family Reunion?
After spending all those years apart, the family apparently reunited two years ago for reasons nobody really knows. Some people are saying Anil was going through depression, which might be why they came back together, but that’s not confirmed yet.
Still, it’s pretty heartbreaking that even after they reunited, things ended this way. Losing him like this has shocked a lot of people. It’s especially hard when you think about how men over 75, like Anil, are more likely to deal with thoughts like this, as reported by Times Now.
However, some reports, like from The Economic Times, are suggesting that it might’ve been an accident, not something Anil did on purpose. I guess we’ll know for sure once the investigation is done.
More About Malaika and Her Family
Just a bit of extra info—Malaika posted something about her dad on March 2, 2024, showing her whole family having a good time together. She was only 11 when her parents split up, which had to be super hard. But despite everything, Malaika went on to become a super successful Bollywood actress, with a net worth between Rs 98 and 100 crore!
We’re still waiting for more info about what really happened, but for now, everyone’s just grieving this huge loss.
