She said, “A lot of people don’t know this, so I want to clarify it. The friendship or whatever they had…Salman was about to launch him (Sooraj), so I asked him to put a stop to it. He broke it off with her (Jiah) because her mother also wasn’t happy about it. She asked if she could meet him sometimes, and he agreed to, only as a friend. They had broken up a month before the incident took place.” Zarina then claimed that Jiah was dejected because she was rejected ‘on the spot’ for a Telugu film. “She was about to try her luck in Telugu films, but she got rejected on the spot. She was supposed to act with Gopichand; they took Rakul Preet in that film later on. She tried to call Sooraj, but he was busy and couldn’t pick up her call. By the time he got back to her that night, she was already dead. Now, isn’t it wrong for people to blame him? Only God knows what happened to her. Maybe she couldn’t handle that rejection in the south well. He went through a lot for 10 years; he was in his early 20s. I cannot explain what we went through as a family,” she said. Jiah Khan’s caseJiah, who was best known for starring in Nishabd and Ghajini, was found dead at her home in Mumbai on 3 June 2013 at age 25. Based on a letter that was seized a week later, Mumbai Police booked Sooraj for abetment to suicide, and he was arrested. The letter mentioned her troubled relationship with Sooraj, alleging that he mentally and physically abused her. In 2023, a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court acquitted Sooraj in the case. “Due to paucity of evidence, this court can't hold you (Sooraj Pancholi) guilty, hence acquitted,” said Judge AS Sayyed of the special CBI court in Mumbai.
