Malaika Arora has returned home after performing the last rites for her father, Anil Mehta, who died by suicide on September 11. According to Pinkvilla, the “India’s Best Dancer” judge was accompanied by her sister, Amrita Arora, following their father’s funeral.
Reports indicate that Malaika’s ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, and his current wife, Sshura Khan, were among the first to arrive at the actress’ parents’ residence to pay their respects. Arbaaz’s family, including his father Salim Khan, mother Salma Khan, and brother Sohail Khan, were also present.
However, Salman Khan was notably absent from the funeral, reportedly due to being out of the city. Sources suggest that he might be occupied with the filming of his upcoming movie, *Sikander*, with Rashmika Mandanna.
Malaika’s son, Arhaan, was seen consoling his mother and grandmother, Joyce, during the funeral. Her former boyfriend, Arjun Kapoor, also offered his unwavering support.
Other celebrities present at the funeral included Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Shibani Dandekar, Ritesh Sidhwani, and Kim Sharma, who all gathered to offer their condolences to Malaika and her family.
