About Malaika Arora’s Father’s Death:
Earlier in the day, a police source revealed that Malaika’s mother, Joyce Arora, recorded her statement with the police, sharing details of the events that unfolded that morning. Joyce stated that Anil Mehta would routinely sit on the balcony to read the newspapers every morning. Though they had divorced years ago, they had started living together again in recent years. On Wednesday morning, when Joyce noticed his slippers in the living room, she went to check on him on the balcony.
When she couldn’t find him there, she leaned over and looked below, where the building’s watchman was shouting for help. Joyce also told the police that Anil Mehta wasn’t suffering from any major illness—just some knee pain.
