While supporting her grieving friends, Kareena has also put her professional commitments on hold.A News18 report revealed that she postponed a scheduled event launch in Mumbai on Thursday due to the tragic passing of Malaika and Amrita Arora’s father, Anil Mehta. Kareena’s team confirmed the event’s delay, citing the need to prioritize this personal loss.
Bebo and the Arora sisters, Malaika and Amrita, have shared a strong bond for years, standing by each other through all of life’s ups and downs. Their friendship goes far beyond celebrating happy moments; they have always supported one another during tough times, as seen in this recent tragedy. Whether it’s personal loss or challenging circumstances, Kareena has consistently been there for Malaika and Amrita, further showcasing the deep connection and loyalty they share.
Malaika Arora issued a heartfelt statement following the passing of her father, Anil Mehta. In her message, she expressed the deep sorrow her family is enduring, calling her father a “gentle soul,” “devoted grandfather,” and “loving husband.” Malaika also requested privacy for the family as they cope with the tragic loss, asking the media and well-wishers for respect and understanding during this difficult period. The statement reflects the profound impact Anil Mehta had on his family and their overwhelming grief.
Earlier in the day, a police source disclosed that Malaika’s mother, Joyce Arora, provided her statement to the police regarding the events of that morning. Joyce explained that her ex-husband, Anil Mehta, had a routine of sitting on the balcony every morning to read the newspaper. Though the couple had divorced years ago, they had resumed living together in recent years. On Wednesday morning, noticing his slippers in the living room, Joyce went to check on him in the balcony, where she discovered the tragic situation.
When Joyce Arora couldn’t find Anil Mehta on the balcony, she leaned over and noticed the building’s watchman shouting for help. Joyce rushed down and saw the commotion. According to her police statement, Anil Mehta had no major illnesses and only suffered from knee pain, raising further concerns about the incident.
