‘I am Not Guilty’: Sooraj Pancholi on Jiah Khan Suicide Case

Sooraj Pancholi came to the limelight after his girlfriend Jiah Khan committed suicide and thereafter all the blaming was cornered upon him. Aditya Pancholi’s son, who will next be seen in Salman Khan’s production Hero, was charged of abetting Houseful actress’ suicide. Sooraj, who kept mum for so long, has finally spoken on the issue and has confessed that he wasn’t guilty.

In an interview with Indian Express, Sooraj was quoted as saying, “It was in nobody’s control. People didn’t realise that I had lost someone. I lost my girlfriend (Jiah) who I was seeing for the past few months and I was really upset. But I think it was destiny and it was written in book of life. People ask me what have I learnt from it. I don’t think of it as a lesson because I have not committed any mistake. There is nothing to learn from it. It was in nobody’s control and perhaps was meant to happen”.

On being asked what kept him going in that period, Sooraj said, “My will power and the fact that I am not guilty. Had I been guilty, then deep inside I would have been broken. But I know what the scenario was and I know that I am not guilty That is what pulled me through”.
