Malaika Arora, following the recent loss of her father, took time off to grieve, staying close to her family. She even chose to mark her 49th birthday quietly, but now, she has dived back into work with renewed energy. Currently, Malaika is juggling numerous projects, traveling and shooting for multiple brands.
Reflecting on her journey, Malaika shares, “We all need to keep moving forward...
that’s what my father would have wanted for me. I’m grateful for the time I took to process the loss. It wasn’t easy, but it’s important to give ourselves space to heal.
Coming back to work helps me stay focused, balance my mental health, and gives me the clarity to take care of my mother and family. I’m thrilled about the brands I’m working with and excited to explore my creative side. I’m also working on something special that I will announce soon—it’s going to be an ode to my father.

In fact, in retrospect, the word I would use to describe it is tumultuous. But tough times teach you important lessons too." The actress added, “My parents’ separation allowed me to observe my mother through a new and unique lens.
I learned a rock-steady work ethic and the value of getting up each morning to do whatever it takes to.
