In a shocking turn of events, Malaika Arora's father, Anil Mehta, passed away on September 11, 2024. He reportedly jumped from the balcony of his apartment, which was located on the sixth floor. If reports are to be believed, Anil was battling depression for some time before he took the decision to end his life. Ever since then, multiple reports about his demise have surfaced online.
Malaika Arora’s father, Anil Mehta’s death has become the talk of the town, even though he was not a part of the entertainment world. In an interview with Times Now, one of Malaika's close friends slammed the people for dragging his death into gossip. The source mentioned that the reports about Malaika’s father having a conversation with his daughters before his demise are untrue. The close friend of Malaika said:
“This is completely fabricated. Malaika or her sister Amrita, had no such conversation with their father. If he had spoken to them, the girls, both very devoted daughters, would have never allowed this to happen.”
Moreover, the close friend of Malaika Arora also revealed that the actress' family has been advised to release a public notice to share that the quotes being attributed to them are not true. She added that nobody from the deceased's family is saying anything, and the matter should be dealt with decorum. The source stated:
“This ‘sick-and-tired’ narrative is sick. Who has given this to the media? I doubt it’s the cops. Earlier, some family member was quoted as saying Malaika’s father’s death was not suicide. These are serious matters. It is one thing to make up quotes on Deepika and Ranveer’s parenthood. But to fabricate quotes on this is to create prejudice in a crime, and that’s a serious offence.”
Anil Mehta reportedly committed suicide at around 9 am on September 11, 2024, and Mumbai Police swiftly transported him to a hospital. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead before reaching the hospital. In a recent interview with FilmiBeat, one of Anil Mehta's neighbours, a woman in her mid-50s, talked about his close relationship with his family. She further continued that Anil was a jolly person and mingled with everyone. She also recalled how he personally came to inspect things when there was a leakage issue in their neighbour's house. However, she also revealed that she found him low on energy a few days before his demise.
