Malaika Arora's Father Funeral: Actor Malaika Aror's father Anil Mehta passed away on September 11th. Several celebrities expressed their heartfelt condolences. However, Salman Khan was absent from the funeral of Malaika Arora’s father, Anil Mehta.
While members of the Khan family were quick to extend their support to Malaika during this tough time, Salman’s absence has raised questions. Although no official statement has been given about his whereabouts, some clues point to a busy work schedule as the reason behind it.
Why Was Salman Khan Missing From Malaika Arora's Father's Funeral?
According to recent hints from actress Rashmika Mandanna’s Instagram Stories, Salman is likely occupied with shooting for his upcoming film, Sikander. Rashmika, who stars opposite Salman in the movie, shared that she has started her shooting schedule for the film. Her post, featuring flowers and a special note, was tagged with “Day 1” and the hashtag ‘Sikander,’ indicating that both actors have been caught up in the film’s production.
While Salman may have missed the funeral due to his professional commitments, other members of the Khan family made sure to offer their condolences. Malaika’s ex-husband Arbaaz Khan was among the first to visit after her father’s death. Salim Khan, Salma Khan, and Sohail Khan also paid their respects, alongside Arbaaz's wife, Sshura Khan, who was seen attending the funeral.
In the wake of her father's passing, Malaika issued a heartfelt statement on social media. She described her father, Anil Mehta, as a “gentle soul, a devoted grandfather, a loving husband, and our best friend.” Malaika also requested privacy for her family during this difficult time, expressing gratitude for the support they’ve received.
While fans may have noticed Salman’s absence, it appears that his commitments to Sikander kept him from attending. Nonetheless, his family ensured their presence, offering comfort and support to Malaika in her moment of grief.
