Sooraj Pancholi on his new love
In the interaction, Sooraj was asked about Ali-Baba actor, Sheezan Khan, who was arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of former girlfriend and co-actor Tunisha Sharma in 2022. The actor shared that such a media trial cannot make one ‘vary of love’. He said, "I believe in love. I have fallen in love even after that (Jiah Khan case)."
The interviewer asked if he had been in a relationship for the last seven years, Sooraj asserted, "Not so long, but I have been in a relationship, just not that long. We have never spoken about it (his past). There is no need to... That's why everyone looks for a partner, right?"
Sooraj Pancholi acquitted in Jiah Khan suicide case
In April, Sooraj was acquitted in abetment to suicide charges in connection with the 2013 death of his girlfriend, actress Jiah Khan. On Friday, a special CBI court in Mumbai cleared Sooraj of all charges due to lack of evidence. Delivering his judgement, the judge said, "Due to paucity of evidence, this court can't hold you (Sooraj Pancholi) guilty, hence acquitted." On the work front, Sooraj started his Bollywood career with Suniel Shetty's daughter, Athiya Shetty in Salman Khan-produced Hero (2015). He was also seen in Satellite Shankar and Time To Dance.
