Malaika was reportedly out of town when the news of her father’s death broke. She was in Pune and rushed back to Mumbai after learning about the incident. Initial reports claimed it was an accidental fall rather than suicide, with family members expressing shock as Anil Arora had no known health issues.
In the past, Malaika has spoken about her difficult childhood following her parents’ separation. She once shared that her parents’ divorce had a profound impact on her, shaping her independent personality. Speaking in an interview, she said, “My childhood wasn’t easy, but it taught me important lessons. After my parents separated, I observed my mother’s strength and resilience. These lessons have stayed with me, helping me to become fiercely independent.”
This tragic incident has left Malaika and her family in deep shock. Fans and well-wishers have been sending their condolences during this difficult time.
