In a deeply shocking turn of events, it has been reported that Anil Arora, the father of Bollywood celebrities Malaika Arora and Amrita Arora, has passed away, with sources claiming the cause of death to be suicide. While official details regarding the incident remain scarce, the news has left fans and the industry in shock, with condolences pouring in for the grieving family.
As reports continue to emerge, Malaika Arora’s former husband, actor and producer Arbaaz Khan, was seen arriving at her residence to offer his support and pay his respects. The family is yet to issue an official statement regarding Anil Arora’s passing.
Malaika Arora has previously spoken candidly about her childhood and the impact of her parents’ separation when she was just 11 years old. Reflecting on her early years, Malaika described her childhood as “tumultuous,” despite having a supportive and loving environment. In an interview, she once shared, “I had a wonderful childhood, but it wasn’t easy. In fact, in retrospect, the word I would use to describe it is tumultuous. But tough times teach you important lessons too.”
The actress, who is known for her strong work ethic and independent spirit, credits much of her strength and resilience to her mother, who raised her and her sister, Amrita, after the separation. Speaking about her mother’s influence, Malaika added, “My parents’ separation allowed me to observe my mother through a new and unique lens. I learned a rock-steady work ethic and the value of getting up each morning to do whatever it takes to become fiercely independent. Those early lessons are the cornerstones of my life and professional journey.”
Malaika has often spoken about how these early experiences shaped her into the fiercely independent woman she is today. “I am still fiercely independent; I value my freedom and live life on my terms,” she said in a past interview.
As more information surrounding the tragedy unfolds, the entertainment industry and the public await further updates while expressing deep sympathy for the Arora family during this incredibly difficult time.
