Bollywood is reeling from the shocking news of Malaika Arora’s father, Anil Arora, passing away. On the morning of 11th September, reports surfaced that Anil had tragically ended his life by jumping from a building in Bandra, Mumbai. The reasons behind this heartbreaking incident are still under investigation, leaving the family and fans in a state of shock.
Anil Arora was a respected figure who had served in the Indian Merchant Navy. Hailing from Fazilka, Punjab, he was a Punjabi Hindu by birth and had married Joyce Polycarp, a Malayali Christian. The couple had two daughters, Malaika Arora and Amrita Arora. Despite their cultural differences, they built a family together before eventually going their separate ways when Malaika was just 11 years old.
Malaika has often spoken about the impact of her parents’ divorce on her life. In interviews, she reflected on how difficult her childhood had been due to the separation. “I had a wonderful childhood, but it wasn’t easy,” she had once shared. The separation forced her to grow up faster and taught her valuable life lessons. These experiences shaped her into the strong and independent woman she is today.
On the fateful day of Anil’s passing, Malaika was reportedly in Pune. Her ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, was among the first to arrive at the scene in Mumbai, offering support to the grieving family. Both Malaika and her sister Amrita had visited their parents just a day before the tragedy occurred, making the loss even more heartbreaking for the family.
Anil and Joyce Polycarp had gone through a tumultuous phase during their marriage but always maintained a bond with their children. Malaika has often credited her mother for teaching her the importance of independence and hard work. “I learned from my mother to wake up every morning and do what’s necessary to live life independently,” she once said. These life lessons have been the foundation of Malaika’s personal and professional journey.

Malaika herself has faced a similar situation in her personal life. She married actor Arbaaz Khan, with whom she has a son, Arhaan. The couple parted ways after years of marriage, and since then, Malaika has been linked to actor Arjun Kapoor. Her sister Amrita, on the other hand, is happily married to businessman Shakeel Ladak, and they have two children.
This tragic loss has deeply affected Malaika and her family, as they mourn the untimely death of a beloved father and family man. Anil Arora’s legacy, however, will live on through his daughters and the values he imparted to them. The entire film industry and fans are standing by the family in these trying times, hoping for peace and healing as they navigate this devastating loss.
