Malaika and Amrita have had a rocky childhood, as going through their parent's divorce was not easy. Anil and Joyce got a divorce when Malaika was 11, and soon after Malaika and Amrita Arora moved to Chembur with their mother, Joyce Polycarp. In an interview last year, Malika stated how her childhood was not easy and she said, "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 become fiercely independent. Those early lessons are the cornerstones of my life and professional journey. I am still fiercely independent; I value my freedom and live life on my terms."
