Now her family has broken the silence on her demise and has said that Malaika was suffering from depression and she was not happy with her career in the film industry.
Talking to Times of India, Noor’s aunt Aarti Das said that Noor had entered the world of acting with great hopes. She was working hard to reach her goal but somewhere she was not happy with her achievements. Perhaps that is why she took such a terrible step.
