Malaika Arora's father, Anil Arora, died after he allegedly jumped off from the terrace of his Mumbai residence on Wednesday. According to Mumbai Police, Anil's residence was on the sixth floor of the Bandra building.
Elaborating further on the nature of Anil Arora's demise, Mumbai Police told the press that they will probe all angles and will not come to a quick conclusion. No suicide note has been found from his accomodation yet but it looks so prima-facie, the police added. Forensice units had arrived and started working, they added.
इंसान इतना कमज़ोर क्यों हो जाता है यार, इतना पैसा शौहरत सब कुछ होने के बावजूद भी इतना कमज़ोर क्यों हो जाता है, कि उसे आत्महत्या करनी पड़े।
