After almost two years of silence, Bollywood young charm Sooraj Pancholi opens up about his girlfriend and actress Jiah Khan's death. Sooraj says he still misses Jiah a lot and has no qualms if his name is associated with her. "I have no guilt feeling, if my name will always be associated with her. I am happy that something at least stays with me. I am sad that she ended her life," said Sooraj.
Sooraj faced tough times when he was arrested on abetment to suicide charges and sent to jail. He went through further mental trauma when Jiah's mother Rabia Khan alleged that he was responsible for her daughter's death. "Nafisa (Jiah Khan) was under tremendous depression and needed more love from her family. She always had suicidal tendencies and was miserable in life due to ill-treated childhood and failed career. If her mother (Rabia) feels that there is some foul play in this case, then she has all the right to verify it. But if she is doing it just to harass me then god is watching," asserts Sooraj.
But, big question being raised by many is that, why did Sooraj speak about Jiah's suicide at this point of time, just few days prior to his first film Hero release. Is it a publicity stunt!
Interim, Sooraj's debut film Hero directed by Nikhil Advani and co-produced By Salman Khan and Subhash Ghai is releasing on September 11th.
