Sooraj Pancholi reveals Jiah Khan’s mother, Rabia Khan’s inhuman actions towards her

In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Sooraj Pancholi explained Jiah Khan’s relationship with her family. He mentioned that Jiah was the sole earner in her family and used to look after her mother, Rabia Khan along with her mom’s boyfriend and her sisters. However, Jiah was pushed to act without her wish and always craved love from her family. Sooraj shared:

“She was the only person supporting her two step sisters and her mother (Rabia Khan), and her mother’s partner, not even husband. Jiah had been supporting them since the age of 16. She was brought to the Hindi film industry at the age of 16 by her mother, even when Jiah didn’t want to pursue acting. She was pushed into films. She did enjoy it later, but it is not what she wanted to do. She wanted to study further. Yes, I loved Jiah, but love from me was not enough. Love from her family is what she needed and wanted.”
