Malaika Arora's father, Anil Kuldip Mehta's postmortem report had earlier confirmed that the reason for his death was severe injuries on his head, which was caused by falling from the 6th floor. The report also added that no foul play was involved in this, and it was caused by Anil Mehta's step to commit suicide.
Earlier, reports mentioned that Anil Mehta had been suffering from depression and was even admitted to hospital back in 2023, due to some unknown reason. Meanwhile, Joyce Polycarp, in her statement to police, had revealed that her ex-husband didn't have any kind of health issues despite knee pain, which was a mere age-old issue. In her statement, Joyce added that she was looking for Anil, on the morning of September 11, 2024, after finding his slippers in the living room. Well, she wasn't able to find him, and headed towards the balcony, from where she leaned and found her husband lying on the floor, while the watchman was shouting for help.
Earlier, a report claimed that Anil Kuldip Mehta had dialled Amrita Arora and Malaika Arora and told them that he was sick and tired before jumping off the sixth floor of his building. Well, a close friend of Malaika, in an interview with Times Now dismissed all such claims. Malaika's friend called all of these reports to be fabricated and added that the actress and Amrita are so doting of daughters, that they would never allow this to happen if Anil Mehta had called them before taking this drastic step.
In the same interview, Malaika's friend had slammed these types of fabricated stories and added that it's a crime to make up this kind of story and spread this misinformation amid this testing time. Earlier, a neighbour of Anil Mehta had told FilmiBeat that he was low on energy a few days before he committed suicide.
