Malaika's parents got divorced when she was 11 years old
Malaika, who has been living with him for many years, had come to meet him the previous day
Bollywood actress and model Malaika Arora was 11 years old when her parents got divorced.
Malaika's father Anil was earlier in the Indian Merchant Navy. He belonged to a Punjabi Hindu family. His family lived in Fazilka on the Indian border. Anil was married to Joyce Polikarya of a Malayali Christian family. But their married life did not last long.
When Malaika was just 11 years old, her parents separated. They divorced each other.
Earlier in an interview, Malaika had talked about the pain of her parents' separation. The actress had said in one of her old interviews that 'When I was 11 years old, my parents got divorced. But at the same time, my mother found a way to look at life from a new perspective. I have seen my mother doing a lot of work in life. I learned from her how to forget all the problems of life and wake up in the morning with a new beginning.
Although the deceased Anil and his wife Joyce were separated, the two used to celebrate family events and festivals with their daughters. A few months ago, when Anil was hospitalised, a video of Malaika and her mother coming out of the hospital went viral.
Anil and Joyce were currently living together. On September 10, Malaika and her sister Amrita came home to meet their parents. Anil committed suicide the next day.
