On
Monday
night,
malaika
arora
khan
panicked
when
she
received
an
SMS
saying
not
to
send
her
son
Arhaan
to
school
the
next
day
as
they
feared
another
terrorist
attack.
A
spooked
Malaika
admits
she
only
calmed
down
after
she
received
a
message
from
the
Mumbai
police,
"It
said
'False
rumours
spreading
through
SMS
reg
possible
attacks.
Mumbai
police
assures
of
safety
of
the
city.
Please
do
not
panic
nor
add
to
rumours.'
The
last
few
days
have
been
highly
unnerving.
Arbaaz
is
not
in
town,
and
my
parents
are
already
scared
so
I
had
to
cope.
It's
scary
for
a
parent
to
realise
that
at
such
times
we
become
so
helpless.
Since
yesterday,
I
have
been
running
around
trying
to
organise
parent-teacher
and
principal
meetings
to
bring
some
kind
of
security
format
to
Arhaan's
school
in
Juhu."
Following
an
SMS
from
the
cops,
Malaika
sent
her
son
Arhaan
to
school,
"We
can't
show
our
fear
and
paranoia
to
our
children.
I
can't
inflict
my
fears
on
my
child.
He
doesn't
understand
and
starts
asking
too
many
questions.
I've
remained
indoors
for
the
last
week.
I
had
a
couple
of
events
but
canceled
them
as
I
felt
it
would've
been
frivolous
to
attend.
What
these
terrorists
are
doing
is
awful
and
the
ordeal
we
face
as
parents
today
is
too
terrifying
to
contemplate
as
schools
hardly
have
any
security
systems
in
place.
The
children
spend
several
hours
in
school
and
I
spent
an
very
tense
couple
of
days
thinking
about
how
we
can
make
them
safe." Apart
from
parents
and
the
school
principal,
Malaika
has
also
met
the
local
police
to
discuss
the
setting
up
of
a
security
system
in
Arhaan's
school.
