In 2023, Sooraj Pancholi was acquitted of abetment to suicide charges in the Jiah Khan suicide case. Now, in a new interview, Sooraj's mother Zarina Wahab looked back at the case, claiming that Jiah had tried to commit suicide several times before meeting her son.

What did Zarina Wahab say

In an interview with Lehren, Zarina spoke about Jiah's death, She said, “Uske pehle bhi usne 4-5 baar try kiya hai, lekin naseeb aisi thi ki jab mere bete ka turn aaya toh it happened (even before that, she had tried 4-5 times, but it was destiny that when my son’s turn came, it happened)," she said.

During the interview, she also shared that Sooraj faced a professional setback because of the case. She said, “We all went through a bad time, but I believe in one thing: 'If you spoil anybody's life with lies, take it as a loan; it will come to you with interest.' Karma says that. Hum log ne intezaar kiya jab he was not guilty (we all waited). It took 10 years, but he is out of it, and I am happy. It has affected Sooraj's career. Woh kya karti thi sab jaante hai (Everyone knows what she used to do), I don't want to open my mouth. Bolke mein apne aap ko chota nahi karna chahti hoon (I want to come down to that level)," added the Dil Dhadakne Do actor.
