After a report that veteran photographer Jagdish Mali was found roaming in the street covered in dirt, his daughter Antara has come out in his support saying it wasn’t alcoholism or mental illness, but diabetes that resulted in him getting lost in the streets. In an interview with the Times of India, Antara said that her father was in perfectly good health and is living alone of his own choice in an apartment in Versova, and refuted all claims that her father was either an alcoholic or was suffering from a mental ailment.

She also accused those commenting about her father’s condition of indulging in a publicity stunt. According to a Mumbai Mirror report, actress Mink Brar was distributing blankets among roadside dwellers when she claimed to have spotted Mali covered with dirt, wearing a tattered t-shirt and wandering the streets. She then claimed to have taken him home along with assistants provided by actor Salman Khan.
Antara Mali clarified rumours about her father’s health and said he was neither an alcoholic nor mentally ill.
