Actor Sooraj Pancholi has spoken about the suicide of his previous partner, Jiah Khan. Sooraj was accused of abetment to suicide in the case.

In a meeting to Pinkvilla, the on-screen character said that he was made to endure after his arrest. "I was put in the anda cell at the Arthur Road jail which is the most secluded cell," he said. "You have no contact with anyone and you don't even get newspapers. I was completely numb. At that point, nothing mattered. All that I kept thinking was that I lost someone who I loved."

In a letter routed to Sooraj, recuperated from Jiah's home after her passing in June 2013, she'd stated, "There was a time I saw my life with you, a future with you. But you shattered my dreams." In October 2013, Jiah's mom, Rabiya Khan had moved the Bombay High Court asserting that her daughter had been killed and looked for a CBI test, which was allowed.

Sooraj proceeded, "I have actually been silent because I respect that family. I respect what the family has been through. But the media has become very irresponsible. They only care about their TRPs. There are times when I'm in court and things have been in my favour and a lot of journalists were there. I asked them, 'Will you write this?' They told me they won't because it's a positive story and it won't track. It's unfair but I also believe in time."

As per the CBI, Pancholi had "hidden facts and fabricated information" during addressing. Sooraj Pancholi, the child of Bollywood couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, had would not experience polygraph or brain-mapping tests, which the office needed to lead to get to the base of his alleged role in the occurrence.

The actor made his debut with Athiya Shetty in 2015, and will next be found in Time to Dance, inverse Isabelle Kaif, Katrina Kaif's sister.
