Malaika Arora has released a heartfelt statement following the tragic passing of her father, Anil Mehta, on September 11, 2024. The announcement came through a family message that expressed deep sorrow and requested privacy from the media and well-wishers as they navigate this difficult time.
The official statement read: “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear father, Anil Mehta. He was a gentle soul, a devoted grandfather, a loving husband, and our best friend. Our family is in deep shock by this loss, and we kindly request privacy from the media and well-wishers during this difficult time. We appreciate your understanding, support, and respect.”
Signed with gratitude by Malaika’s family members, including her mother Joyce, sister Amrita, and other close relatives, the statement also listed the family pets.
Anil Mehta is remembered as a devoted father, grandfather, and a source of strength for his family. Though not much is publicly known about his personal life, the Arora family has always been private about their personal matters, sharing only occasional glimpses into their lives.
Sources claimed Malaika’s mother, Joyce, in her statement to the police, said that Anil would routinely sit on the balcony and read the newspapers every morning. She told the police that they were divorced, but had started living together again for the past few years. She told the police that on Wednesday morning, when she saw her ex-husband’s slippers in the living room, she went to look for him on the balcony.
Speaking with the media gathered outside Malaika’s parents’ home, the police said, “Anil used to live on the sixth floor. We are carrying out a detailed investigation from all angles… our forensic teams are here for investigation. His body is being sent for postmortem. We are investigating everything… prima facie it looks like suicide, we are conducting further investigation.”
