Malaika and Amrita Arora's father passed away on Wednesday, September 11 after he fell off from his building terrace. It has been a devastating time for the family. Amid this, actor Vijay Varma has requested the media to leave the grieving family alone and respect their privacy. Earlier Varun Dhawan had also made a similar appeal.
