More about the Jiah Khan suicide case

Last year in May, the controversial case got its final verdict after almost a decade. The Nishabd actress, who was romantically involved with Sooraj Pancholi, committed suicide by hanging herself and blamed his violent behaviour as a reason.

However, the star kid was acquitted due to lack of evidence against him in the case.

The court order read, "The deceased could have always walked out of the relationship. However, she could not overcome her sentiments and her love for the accused, for which the accused cannot be held responsible.'

Sooraj Pancholi is the son of Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab. He made his big Bollywood debut in Hero alongside Athiya Shetty.
