Young actress Jiah Khan allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself
with police claiming she was heartbroken after a failed relationship
with the son of an actor couple which possibly drove her to take the
step at her home last night.
The body of Jiah, 25, was found
hanging at her ‘Sagar Sangeet’ residence in Juhu last night where she
lived with her mother and sister who were not present when she ended her
life.
Preliminary investigation has revealed that she was in a
relationship with Suraj, son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina
Wahab for nearly a year. Jiah was said to be under depression after
coming to know of Suraj’s new love interest, who supplied jewellery to
the Pancholis.
Investigators said the actress took her life due to her strained relationship with Suraj, a student at an acting institute.
Suraj
and Jiah spoke over telephone a number of times yesterday, with the
last call being made at 10.53pm which lasted for two minutes. Soon
after, Jiah hanged herself. Post mortem examination revealed the
incident took place between 11 pm and 11.30 pm, sources said.
“Jiah
was said to be very possessive about Suraj. Last night they exchanged
text messages on their cell phones. Suraj also sent her a bouquet which
she did not accept,” they said.
