Veteran actress Zarina Wahab, who featured in movies like Chitchor and the latest being Agneepath and Dil Dhadakne Do, recently made a shocking claim in connection with Jiah Khan death case.

The late actress was reportedly dating Zarina and Aditya Pancholi's son Sooraj Pancholi . Zarina claimed that Jiah Khan attempted suicide 5 times before meeting her son.

“Before that, she had tried 4-5 times, but it was destiny that when my son’s turn came, it happened," Zarina told Lehren. “Naseeb aisi thi ki jab mere bete ka turn aaya toh woh hua (When my son met her, all of that happened)," she added.

Zarina further stated, this connection gave tough time to his son and affected her personal life. “If you spoil someone’s life with lies, it’s like a loan that will come back with interest," she said

Jiah Khan’s mother Rabia claimed that Jiah, who was found dead in 2013 in her Mumbai home, was verbally, and physically tortured by Pancholi, Jiah’s boyfriend at the time of her death. Rabia also claimed that her daughter was murdered. In her conversation with The Times of India,  Zarina Wahab  said that although Rabia is not in the country, “the case has been getting delayed for 9 years”. Adding that while the Pancholi family’s sympathy is with Rabia, as she has lost her daughter, Zarina said that whatever she has been doing to the kids is wrong. TOI quoted Zarina as saying, “Sometimes people try to blame someone else to hide their own mistakes. This could have happened 9 years ago. She has been delaying the judgment intentionally.”

The Dil Dhadakne Do actress said, “She knows the truth. She should come out of it and not punish an innocent child. She knows from the beginning that it is not Sooraj’s fault. Despite that, she is doing all this.” Further, the actress pointed out that whenever the court is about to pass the verdict, Rabia is absent from the country. Claiming that Rabia is making Sooraj look like a villain, she revealed that the Hero actor is “hopeful because he is not guilty at all.” Zarina concluded by saying, “But making an innocent boy look like a villain in people’s eyes is not correct. Sooraj will find good work if it is in his destiny but this is not the way to call someone guilty when he is innocent.”
