Malaika’s father, Anil Mehta, met a tragic end when he fell from the 6th floor of his residence in Bandra on the morning of September 11, while Malaika was traveling to Pune for an event.

In the wake of his passing, the actress had shared a heartfelt statement describing him as a gentle soul, a devoted grandfather, and a loving husband. “Our family is in deep shock by this loss,” she said, urging for privacy as they grieve together. Her mother, Joyce Polycarp, and sister Amrita Arora, along with other family members, have been part of her support system during this challenging time.

Born into a mixed cultural background, Malaika’s family has always been a significant part of her life. Her parents’ separation when she was young led her to grow up with her mother in Chembur.
