On a personal note, I found myself compelled to address an issue that surfaced this past Wednesday. Actor Varun Dhawan, much like myself, took to his social media platform to express his dismay regarding paparazzi intruding upon the private moments of mourning following Malaika’s father’s passing. As a lifestyle expert, I wholeheartedly support his stance, as it is truly heartless for cameras to be shoved in the faces of those who are grieving deeply. In such sensitive times, let us all show compassion and understanding instead.

He asked for thoughtfulness when carrying out tasks, acknowledging it’s part of their role, yet reminding them that sensitive individuals may find such actions distressing. He also used the hashtag ‘#compassion’ to emphasize his message.

On Wednesday morning, Malaika Arora’s father, Anil Mehta, sadly passed away. In the evening, the actress posted a heartfelt message on her social media accounts, speaking on behalf of her whole family.

It read, “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear father, Anil Mehta. He was a gentle soul, a devoted grandfather, a loving husband and our best friend. Our family is in deep shock by this loss and we kindly request privacy from the media and well-wishers during this difficult time. We appreciate your understanding, support and respect. With gratitude, Joyce, Malaika, Amrita Shakeel, Arhaan, Azaan , Rayyan, Casper, Axl, Duffy and Buddy.”
