Salman Khan & Pancholi Family’s Connection
Jiah Khan who starred in a couple of movies in the early part of this decade committed suicide by hanging herself in 2013. The actress who worked with Bollywood biggies like Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan was having an affair with Sooraj Pancholi, the son of Bollywood actors Zarina Wahab and Aditya Pancholi. It is a known fact that the Pancholi family shares very good relations with the Khan clan and Aditya were given the role of the lead antagonist in the movie Bodyguard to support him financially and give a boost to his career.
When Jiah Khan committed suicide, Sooraj was shooting for Hero, his debut movie with Athiya Shetty. The movie was being produced by Salman himself who wanted the kids of his friends to get a good launch in the film industry.
Jiah Khan’s Mother Recalls Her Session With CBI Officer
But when Jiah died, police started interrogating Sooraj who according to Jiah’s mother was the reason her daughter committed suicide. The death of Sushant Singh Rajput has once again opened up the debate as to how filmy families stuck together and bully the outsiders. In her very recent video, Jiah’s mother said she was called by the CBI officers to Mumbai on the pretext that they had some important evidence related to Jiah’s case. But when she went to meet the CBI officer he said that he cannot proceed further because Salman Khan keeps on calling him and has asked not to harass Sooraj Pancholi as a lot of his money has been invested in the movie Hero.

Eventually, nothing came out of the investigation, and Sooraj Pancholi’s movie was released without any hiccups and the actor continues to enjoy good life whereas Jiah’s family is still waiting for justice.

The netizens have been sharing their divided reaction after watching the series; while some blame Bollywood biggies others are questioning the police. Either way, the audience is left perplexed with the questions raised in the docu-series that still remain unanswered after years of the controversial death of Jiah.
In the series, both sides are presented with Rabia Khan, mother of Jiah, and her sisters pointing out a bigger conspiracy and stating that it was a murder. Sooraj Pancholi, Jiah’s boyfriend at the time and also allegedly the main culprit, shared his side saying that he had nothing to do with her death. His name was found in her suicide note recovered by authorities. Aditya Pancholi also featured in the docu saying that he hopes the real person behind this murder is found so Sooraj can be proved innocent.
The series shed light on how the police investigation, crime scene, and evidence were highly compromised. Some loopholes that suggest it might not be a suicide that raises suspicion were discussed in the series as well. Like, the tracksuit she was seen in her apartment camera wearing just 15 minutes before her death was missing and has not been found yet. Her phone password was removed and all her data including pictures and messages were wiped from the phone when it was recovered.

Jiah starred in many films like Nishabd, Ghajini, and Housefull. She was 25 years old when she passed away in her Mumbai apartment.
As it has been seven years since the tragedy, only time will say if the questions will be answered or it will remain as an unsolved mystery just like a number of deaths in Bollywood.
