Malaika Arora was born in Maharashtra's Thane. Her parents divorced when she was 11 years old, and she moved to Chembur with her mother and sister Amrita Arora. Her mother, Joyce Polycarp, is a Malayali Christian, and her father, Anil Arora, was a Punjabi, who worked in the Indian Merchant Navy.
In a recent interview with a fashion magazine, Malaika talked about how she was just 11 years old when her parents divorced. She had said that even though her childhood was "wonderful" it was "not easy" and said it was "tumultuous", reports news agency IANS.
"My parents' separation allowed me to observe my mother through a new lens," said the actress in the interview.
