My son was not right for Jiah Khan: Suraj Pancholi's mother Zarina Wahab

Mumbai: Zarina Wahab says she agrees with Jiah Khan’s mother that her son Suraj was not the right person for the Nishbad actress, who committed suicide last week. Jiah committed suicide at her residence in Mumbai’s Juhu area on 3 June. She was 25. On 13 June, a Mumbai court sent Suraj, son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina, to judicial custody till 27 June on charges of abetting the suicide of Jiah, who used the word “rape” in a six-page letter. On an impulse, Zarina decided to pay an unannounced visit to Jiah’s mother Rabiya on 11 June. The meeting between the two grieving mothers apparently didn’t go too well.

If he has done any wrong let him suffer the consequences,” said the “Chitchor” fame actress. “No, I went just as one mother reaching out to another. I suggested we go inside the house because there were a lot of media persons outside. Rabiyajiji was in no mood for any conversation with me. I wouldn’t want to discuss what we spoke about.” On 7 June, police recovered a note purportedly written by the actress speaking about her disturbed relationship with her alleged boyfriend Suraj. Jiah’s mother claims that her daughter took the drastic step not due to the lack of assignments, but due to her troubled relationship with Suraj. “When Rabiyajiji says my son Suraj was not the right person for her daughter, I completely agree with her. Jiah needed someone much more mature and experienced to take care of her,” Zarina said. “My son is just starting out. Jiah is supposed to have said in the letter that my son never loved her the way she did. I completely agree with that. Jiah was too much in love with my son. He just couldn’t reciprocate in the same measure. But he cared deeply for her in his own way” Zarina revealed that on 18 May that Jiah landed up at the Pancholis’ doorstep in an emotionally disturbed condition. IANS
