Malaika Arora's family is in mourning following the tragic death of her father, Anil Arora, who reportedly took his own life at his residence in Bandra. According to the latest updates, the police have recorded a statement from Joyce, Malaika's mother, who detailed the sequence of events leading up to the incident.
Joyce Arora recounted that on the morning of the tragedy, she noticed Anil’s slippers in the living room, a sign that he had been there recently. This prompted her to check on him, as Anil was known for his routine of sitting on the balcony to read newspapers each morning. When she could not find him on the balcony, Joyce looked down and saw the building watchman shouting for help. It was at that moment she realized the gravity of the situation: Anil had jumped from the terrace.

In her statement to the police, Joyce noted that despite their divorce, she and Anil had been living together again for the past few years. She further clarified that Anil had no serious health issues, only some knee pain, and had retired from the Merchant Navy. This revelation suggests that his death was unexpected and came as a shock to those around him.
The police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding Anil Arora’s death. As part of the ongoing investigation, various individuals close to the family, including Malaika’s former husband Arbaaz Khan, have been present at the residence. This reflects the gravity of the situation and the impact it has had on those connected to the Arora family.
Malaika Arora, who was only 11 years old when her parents separated, has previously shared insights into her early life and the challenges she faced. In a candid conversation with a magazine, she opened up about her family’s tumultuous journey. “I had a wonderful childhood, but it wasn’t easy,” she reflected. “In retrospect, the word I would use to describe it is tumultuous. But tough times teach you important lessons too.”
After her parents' divorce, Malaika and her younger sister Amrita, who was just six years old at the time, were raised primarily by their mother. The family relocated from Thane to Chembur to start anew, marking a significant change in their lives. Despite the difficulties, Malaika has spoken about the resilience and strength she developed during those formative years.
The Arora family's personal struggles and the recent tragedy have drawn public attention, highlighting the complexities of coping with loss and the impact of familial relationships. As the investigation continues, the focus remains on understanding the full context of Anil Arora's death and providing support to the grieving family.
