While the post received many supportive comments, some followers were puzzled by the difference in last names. Malaika is known as Malaika Arora, so many assumed her father’s last name would be Arora as well.

The confusion over last names caused fans to question whether Anil Mehta was Malaika’s biological father or stepfather.

According to reports, Anil Kuldip Mehta was Malaika’s stepfather. Her biological father, Anil Arora, separated from her mother when she was 11 years old. Later, her mother remarried, and Anil Mehta became a part of their family. This is why Malaika still uses the Arora surname, even though her stepfather’s last name was Mehta.

Details About the Incident

The tragic event took place on Wednesday morning at their home in the Ayesha Manor building in Bandra, Mumbai. According to reports, Anil Mehta fell from the sixth-floor terrace around 9:00 a.m. Malaika, at that time, was on her way to Pune for an event and was unaware of the incident.

Malaika’s mother, Joyce Polycarp, gave a statement to the Mumbai Police about the events of that morning. She said she noticed Anil’s slippers in the living room, which made her look for him. When she couldn’t find him on the terrace, she looked over the railing and realized something had gone terribly wrong.
