Reportedly, Malaika was in Pune when her father, Anil Mehta, passed away and soon after, she rushed to Mumbai after learning about the heartbreaking news. The reason for his suicide is not clear yet, as no suicide note has been recovered so far.
Apart from Arjun, Arbaaz's sister, Alvira Agnihotri, Salim Khan, Salma Khan, Kim Sharma, and Ritesh Sidhwani, among others, have joined Malaika and her family during this difficult time.
Earlier, Malaika’s ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, reached the Arora residence to pay his condolences. Meanwhile, Malaika’s parents, Joyce Polycarp and Anil Mehta, separated when she was 11.
While several reports state that Anil was sick, Joyce denied such reports and told the police that he was doing fine.
Malaika and Arjun started dating in 2018. The two parted ways earlier this year.
According to Pinkvilla, Arjun and Malaika have parted ways respectfully. “Malaika and Arjun had a very special relationship and both of them will continue to hold a special place in each others hearts. They have chosen to part ways and will maintain a dignified silence in this matter. They won’t allow anyone to drag and dissect their relationship," said the source.
