In 2013, Bollywood actress Jiah Khan, who had been a part of films like Nishabd, Ghajini and Housefull committed suicide. The actress’ mother claims that it was not a simple suicide and Jiah was abetted to do so by Sooraj Pancholi who was in a relationship with her daughter.
Well, Sooraj has been in the police custody for the same and was later granted bail. The court case is still going on and the final verdict is yet to take place. Recently, when we met Sooraj and asked him if he feels that the filmmakers are hesitant to cast him in their movies because of the court case. To which the actor said, “Yes, because see if I was in their place I would feel the same way as there’s a lot of money that goes into filmmaking. I have never spoken about the case earlier because I thought it would end. I did believe in the court and I still do believe in the court, but I don’t have that much time to give up my career.”
“It’s a very sensitive topic and all my sympathies go with what has happened and I feel really bad. But right now I am talking not to promote my film; I am talking out because this is the opportunity I have, when can I sit with you guys again. I want to say my side and I said it at the trailer launch. I just had to say what I had to say, but now I am moving on with my life,” Sooraj added.
Sooraj made his Bollywood debut in 2015 with the film Hero which was produced by Salman Khan and also starred Athiya Shetty. The actor will next be seen on the big screen in Satellite Shankar which is slated to release on 8th November 2019.
