Bollywood actress and model Malaika Arora has been thrust into the spotlight after the tragic news of her father’s passing broke this morning. The devastating incident occurred in their Bandra West home in Mumbai, where Malaika’s father tragically took his own life by jumping from the terrace of his home while the actress was away at an event.
As news of the tragedy spread, Malaika rushed to the scene, visibly heartbroken, grappling with the profound shock of losing a beloved family member in such a sudden and tragic manner.
Approximately 12 hours after the incident, Malaika has taken to Instagram to share an emotional and heartfelt post with the public. Alongside a photo of her father, she penned a touching message expressing the pain her family is experiencing while requesting privacy as they navigate through this difficult time.
In her message, Malaika highlighted the immense shock the family is enduring, stating, "We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear father, Anil Mehta. He was a gentle soul, a devoted grandfather, a loving husband, and our best friend."
She continued, "Our family is in deep shock by this loss, and we kindly request privacy from the media and well-wishers during this difficult time. We appreciate your understanding, support, and respect."
The Instagram post concluded with signs from the family members, including Malaika’s mother Joyce, her sister Amrita, her son Arhaan, her nephews Azaan and Rayyan, as well as her brother-in-law Shakeel Ladak, and their beloved pets.
Malaika’s father had maintained a low profile, and while much of his life remained outside the public eye, his untimely death has sent shockwaves across both the entertainment industry and the wider public.
Support from friends, colleagues, and fans has poured in, with many expressing their condolences and offering words of comfort during this incredibly painful period for the Arora family.
