Sooraj Pancholi’s Mother Zarina Wahab Makes Shocking Remarks On Jiah Khan’s Suicide: ‘She Tried 4-5 Times Before’

Zarina Wahab, actress and mother of actor Sooraj Pancholi, has made startling remarks about the death of actress Jiah Khan. In a recent interview with TeachWahab claimed that Khan had attempted suicide several times before meeting her son. She stated, “Before that, she had tried 4-5 times, but it was destiny that when my son’s turn came, it happened.” Wahab added, “Naseeb aisi thi ki jab mere bete ka turn aaya toh woh hua” (When my son met her, all of that happened), suggesting that Khan’s death was a result of fate.

The comments have raised eyebrows, as the tragic death of Jiah Khan has remained a subject of intense legal and media scrutiny for years. Zarina Wahab also reflected on the difficult period her son faced following the case, noting how it adversely affected his career. She emphasized, “If you spoil someone’s life with lies, it’s like a loan that will come back with interest,” underscoring the accusations’ impact on Sooraj Pancholi’s professional life.

Jiah Khan’s Death and Legal Proceedings

Jiah Khan, a promising young actress, was found dead at her residence in June 2013. At the time of her death, Khan was in a relationship with Sooraj Pancholi. Following her passing, Jiah’s mother, Rabia Khan, accused Sooraj and his family of mistreating her daughter, which led to Sooraj being charged with abetment of suicide. Pancholi was arrested but later granted bail.

After Sooraj’s release on bail, Jiah’s mother sought the intervention of the Bombay High Court, demanding that the investigation be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The CBI filed a chargesheet in December 2015, charging Pancholi with abetment of suicide under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. Despite these charges, a special CBI court acquitted Sooraj in April 2023, citing insufficient evidence to support the case against him.

Public Reaction and Impact

Zarina Wahab’s comments have reignited discussions surrounding the controversial case, which has affected both families. Despite the legal resolution, the case has left lasting emotional and professional scars, particularly on Sooraj Pancholi, cleared of all charges. The tragedy of Jiah Khan’s death continues to resonate, and discussions around it remain a source of tension for those involved.
