On Thursday, September 12, filmmaker Farah Khan and her brother, Sajid Khan, were seen arriving at the funeral of Malaika Arora’s father, Anil Mehta, who tragically passed away the previous day. The event drew close friends and family members who came to offer their condolences and support to Malaika during this difficult time. Farah, a close friend of Malaika, arrived dressed in black, accompanied by Sajid, as they paid their respects to the deceased.
Anil Mehta reportedly died by suicide on Wednesday morning, a tragedy that shocked the family and those close to them.According to reports, Mehta had been living with his ex-wife Joyce for the past few years, despite their separation. Joyce, in her statement to the police, revealed that Anil had a daily habit of sitting on the balcony and reading newspapers. However, on the day of his death, she noticed his slippers in the living room but could not find him on the balcony. Upon further inspection, she discovered him lying on the ground below, after which their building’s watchman called for help.
Anil Mehta had taken voluntary retirement from the Merchant Navy and was reportedly not suffering from any major illness. Joyce confirmed that although he had knee pain, it was not severe enough to be a cause for concern. The Mumbai Police have confirmed the death as suicide, and a post-mortem report later cited multiple injuries as the cause of death.
Farah and Sajid Khan’s attendance at the funeral came while they were also grieving the loss of their own mother, Menaka Irani, making this a particularly emotional moment for the siblings. Despite their personal loss, they arrived to support Malaika and her family, demonstrating their long-standing friendship.
In a shocking revelation, sources close to the family have reported that Anil Mehta made a final phone call to his daughters, Malaika and Amrita, just hours before his death. During the call, he expressed that he was tired, a phrase that has left the family and police searching for answers about his state of mind in his final hours. The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the call, hoping to understand why he made such a statement and if it sheds light on the tragic events that followed.
