The sudden death of Jiah Khan had been a highly debatable topic back then, and it turned worse when a CBI probe was issued behind it. Moreover, the late actress’ boyfriend, Sooraj Pancholi, was also dragged in the case for allegedly abetting Jiah to commit suicide. While the actor seldom spoke and opened up on his side of the story, Sooraj once broke the silence and shared his feelings. In an interview with Pinkvilla, he mentioned:
“I have actually been silent because I respect that family. I respect what the family has been through. I was put in the Anda cell at the Arthur Road jail which is the most secluded cell. You have no contact with anyone and you don't even get newspapers. I was completely numb. At that point, nothing mattered. All that I kept thinking was that I lost someone who I loved.
