Renowned actress, dancer, and model Malaika Arora’s father, Anil Arora, tragically passed away on the morning of September 11, 2024. He jumped off the terrace of his seven-story building located in Bandra, Mumbai.
The Mumbai Police immediately arrived at the scene, confirming the incident on Twitter. Initial reports suggested that Anil Arora had committed suicide, but later, a source clarified that it was an accidental fall. The circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation.
Malaika’s ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, was seen arriving at Malaika’s family home in Mumbai to offer support. The location was surrounded by police personnel. Malaika’s parents separated when she was 11 years old, and she lived with her mother and sister, Amritha. Anil Arora worked in the Indian Merchant Navy and was of Punjabi Hindu descent.
In an interview, Malaika spoke about the impact of her parents’ separation on her life. She credited her mother for instilling in her a strong work ethic and a sense of independence. These early lessons have shaped her professional journey and personal life.
Malaika was married to Arbaaz Khan for 19 years before their separation in 2016. She later dated Arjun Kapoor for a few years but eventually ended their relationship. Malaika has a son named Arhaan, who was born in 2002.
