Malaika was pretty close to her step-father. On occasions like Christmas and New Years, the family was papped, having a meal together. Last year, Malaika and her mother, Joyce, photographed outside a hospital in Mumbai. Malaika was reportedly visiting her step-father, who has been admitted to the facility, though the reason for his hospitalization has not been disclosed.
In a video shared on Instagram by a paparazzi account, Malaika is seen leaving the hospital with her mother, assisting her into the backseat of their car. Malaika then took the front seat and drove away.
Yesterday, Salman Khan’s sister, Arpita Khan was seen entering Malaika Arora’s parents’ home in Mumbai after the shocking demise of the actress’s father, Anil Mehta.
Videos doing the rounds on social media showed Malaika’s ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, waiting outside her parents’ doorstep. Arpita also arrived at the residence in the evening. She did not face the media and kept a distance from the crowd as she hurriedly entered the house.

Salim Khan, Salma Khan, Helen, Arhaan, Amrita Arora, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Neha Dhupia, Kajol, and many others from the family and the industry were seen arriving at the Bandra house after the incident.
Malaika was previously married to Arbaaz Khan. They ended their 18-year marriage in 2017 and share a son, Arhaan Khan.
Sources report that Joyce, Malaika’s mother, informed the police that Anil Mehta had a routine of sitting on the balcony to read newspapers every morning. Although they were divorced, Joyce mentioned that they had been living together again for the past few years. On Wednesday morning, Joyce noticed Anil’s slippers in the living room but could not find him on the balcony. Looking over the edge, she saw the building watchman shouting for help. Joyce also clarified to the police that Anil Mehta had no known illness.
Although reports suggest Anil died by apparent suicide, a final police report is still awaited.
