Malaika Arora's father Anil Mehta died by suicide on Wednesday morning. The news of Malaika's father's death has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and beyond.
Much before Malaika arrived at her father's residence, it was actor-model's late husband Arbaaz Khan who was there to console Malaika's mother and was also seen talking to the cops.
As soon as Malaika arrived at her father's residence, paps stationed outside Malaika's mother's residence zoomed in their cameras to capture her grieving face. Another video showed, Amrita Rao hiding her tears and covering her face with her hand and despite that paps continued to take the pictures and videos right in front of their face. This didn't go down well with netizens as well as actors and they slammed the paps for doing so.
