Anil Mehta, 62, allegedly died by suicide on Wednesday. In a statement to police, Malaika Arora’s mother Joyce Polycarp claimed that she had reunited with her ex-husband Anil a few years ago and were living together. She explained that Anil had a routine to read the newspaper sitting in the balcony every morning. On Wednesday morning, Joyce noticed Anil’s slippers in the living room which made her come to the balcony looking for him.
However, she couldn’t find him. When she leaned over the balcony railing to look below, she saw a commotion, and the building’s watchman was shouting for help.

Later, several actors including Arbaaz Khan’s family, Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Kajol, and Saif Ali Khan visited Anil’s residence to pay their last respects.
Malaika Arora too took to her Instagram handle to share an emotional note. It read: “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear father, Anil Mehta. He was a gentle soul, a devoted grandfather, a loving husband, and our best friend. Our family is in deep shock by this loss, and we kindly request privacy from the media and well-wishers during this difficult time.”
