Who are Arun Bali’s children?
Arun Bali was married to Prakash Bali. He is survived by his four children, one son and three daughters.
Their names are Ankush Bali, Itishri Bali, Pragati Bali and Stuti Bali Sachdeva.
One of the most successful roles in Arun Bali’s long and illustrious career came in 3 Idiots, where he made a cameo appearance, as the father of the original Ranchoddas Chanchad.
He was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, a rare neuromuscular problem, in early 2022, and was admitted to the Hiranandani Hospital. At the time, rumours suggested that his son, Ankush Bali, had left his father at the hospital on his own, a claim that was later refuted by him.
“I heard that I have left my father in the hospital to rot, that he doesn’t have money and barely makes his meals. Some YouTuber put a video. I wanted to bash him,” Ankush Bali told Hindustan Times.

“There were rumours that I was taking (monetary) help from someone. My father has worked his entire life and saved up so there’s no such problem. Till the last breath alive in me and my father, I will keep serving him. Those who doubt me, I don’t care about them,” he added.
Apart from Ankush, the rest of Arun Bali’s children live a very private life and not much information is available about them in the digital space. However, another report by Zoom revealed that Nupur Alankar, a member of the CINTAA, was informed about Arun Bali’s death by Itishree Bali, one of the children of the dead actor.
