Sooraj Pancholi claims Jiah Khan needed ‘family love’.
Earlier this week, Sooraj Pancholi was acquitted by a special CBI court in Jiah Khan death case citing lack of evidence.
Days after being acquitted in the Jiah Khan suicide case, Sooraj Pancholi has opened up about his relationship with the late actress. In a recent interview, Sooraj admitted to dating Jiah for five months and claimed that he needed love not just from a boyfriend but also from his family.
“I was in a relationship with Jia for only five months and I had no idea what she was going through. She needed love not only from her boyfriend but also from her family. She wanted them to support her and understand her,” Sooraj told Bombay Times.
Suraj further alleged that Jiah was under ‘a lot of pressure to support her family’ as she was the only earning member. He further claimed that he had also told Jiah’s mother Rabia Khan about her depression, but there was not much awareness about mental health back then. Sooraj further made some shocking allegations and claimed, “When I had met Jiah initially and we were not in a relationship, she tried to cut off her hand to end her life in 2012. I took Rabiaji to London I called, and she told me she would be in Mumbai on the next flight, but she hasn’t been seen for months. Was this a normal parent-child relationship?” Sooraj said Jiah needed ‘family love’.
Earlier this week, Sooraj Pancholi was acquitted by a special CBI court in Jiah Khan death case citing lack of evidence. Sooraj was present in the court along with his mother and veteran actress Zarina Wahab.
In June 2013, Jiah Khan was found hanged at her home by her mother, Rabia Khan. Khan also reportedly wrote a 6-page letter describing her relationship with Sooraj Pancholi. After Jiah’s death, her mother accused Sooraj and his family of ‘misbehaving’ with Jiah. After this, a case of abetment to suicide was registered against him. Suraj was also arrested but was later released on bail.
