Bollywood was shaken this week by the news of the tragic passing of Malaika Arora’s father, Anil Arora, who died by suicide on September 11th. The actress was seen leaving her father’s house in Bandra alongside Arjun Kapoor, who had been offering support during this difficult time.
Malaika’s close friends and family members, including Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Terence Lewis, and her son Arhaan Khan, were also present to bid farewell. Her ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, and Salman Khan’s parents, Salim, Salma, and Helen, also paid their respects at the family residence.
The Bollywood community, along with countless fans, expressed their condolences to Malaika and her family. Several celebrities, including Iulia, Arpita, and Kajol, visited her to offer support during her time of grief.
Malaika shared a statement expressing the family’s profound sorrow, stating, “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear father, Anil Mehta. Our family is in deep shock from this loss, and we kindly request privacy.”
Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her daughter Aaradhya were spotted visiting GSB Cha Raja in Mumbai. Footage of their visit went viral, capturing Aishwarya taking pictures of Aaradhya and her mother with Bappa. While many praised Aishwarya for being a loving mother, some online viewers noted Aaradhya appeared “sad” in the video.
The Ganpati celebrations continued, with other celebrities like Salman Khan and Deepika Padukone making appearances at various pandals. The news of Malaika’s loss, however, overshadowed these festivities as Bollywood mourned the tragic passing of Anil Arora.
