Actress Malaika Arora’s Father Allegedly Dies by Suicide

On Wednesday morning, reports surfaced that actress Malaika Arora’s father, Anil Arora, allegedly died by suicide in Bandra, Mumbai. Some conflicting reports suggest it may have been an accident, but sources claim Anil Arora jumped from the third floor of his apartment building at approximately 9:00 AM.

Malaika’s ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, was seen outside the apartment after the incident, while Malaika herself was returning to Mumbai from Pune. Anil Arora’s remains have been sent to Bhabha Hospital for postmortem, with further details still under investigation by local authorities.

Malaika Arora, born in Thane, Maharashtra, moved to Chembur with her mother and sister after her parents’ divorce when she was 11. Her father, Anil Arora, was a Punjabi who worked in the Indian Merchant Navy, while her mother, Joyce Polycarp, is a Malayali Christian. In a recent interview, Malaika opened up about her difficult childhood and her parents’ separation, describing it as both wonderful and tumultuous. She said the experience allowed her to see her mother through a different lens.
