Sooraj, son of actors <keyword id="966" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="aditya-pancholi" source="Orion">Aditya Pancholi</keyword> and Zarina Wahab, was allegedly in a relationship with Jiah. Here is a timeline of Jiah Khan's suicide case: on June 3, 2013, Jiah Khan's body was found in flat number 102 of Sagar Sangeet Society in Mumbai On June 7, 2013, Mumbai police recovered a six-page suicide note from Jiah's house. On June 10, 2013, Sooraj Pancholi was arrested by the Juhu police after allegations of abetting Jiha for suicide. On July 2, 2013, the Bombay High Court granted bail to Suraj Pancholi and he got released after spending 22 days in jail. In October 2013, Jiha's mother, Rabia Khan, moved to the Bombay High Court demanding a CBI probe. In July 2014, the case was handed over to the CBI. In December 2015, the CBI submitted a report before the court and termed the case as an abetment to suicide. A few days later, Rabia demanded for an SIT to probe the matter. In February 2017, the High Court rejected the demand for the formation of the SIT. The trial court also rejected Rabia's demand for further investigation in 2018. On 15 March 2019, the trial began in the Jiah Khan case. In the year 2021, the case was reassigned to the Special CBI Court because the sessions court said that the jurisdiction of the CBI case is not with the sessions court. On March 21, 2023, the government side closed its case with the statement of 21 witnesses. On April 20, 2023, both sides presented their final arguments after which the court fixed 28 April to announce the verdict.

Pancholi, 32, the son of actors <keyword id="966" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="aditya-pancholi" source="Orion">Aditya Pancholi</keyword> and Zarina Wahab, hasn't really been able to make a dent after his promising debut as the lead in the remake of "Hero" opposite Athiya Shetty in 2015. The film, which won him a Filmfare Award for best debut, was backed by Salman Khan and Subhash Ghai. It didn't do well and Pancholi's career has been moving in fits and starts since then. He has since worked in the little-known "Satellite Shankar" and "Time to Dance". Pancholi, who has also worked as assistant director on films such as Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Guzaarish" and Salman Khan-starrer "Ek Tha Tiger", hit the headlines when he was accused of abetting Jiah Khan's suicide. He was charged on the basis of a six-page letter purportedly written by Khan, who was found hanging in her Juhu home on June 3, 2013. In an interview to PTI in 2015, Pancholi had said, "My name will always be associated with her and I have no guilt for that. I am happy that something at least stays with me. I am sad that she ended her life. But at least her name is with me and I have no problems with it." On Friday, Pancholi was there with his mother when the judge read out the verdict. Special CBI judge A S Sayyad called him to the witness box and asked his name. When the actor said Sooraj, the judge asked him to state his full name. The actor then replied, "Sooraj Aditya Pancholi." The judge then said, "Due to paucity of evidence, this court holds you (Sooraj) not guilty... acquitted." Sooraj nodded with his head down and stepped out of the witness box. He didn't speak to reporters.

Sooraj Pancholi, star son and actor gets an acquittal in Jiah Khan suicide case

The Bombay High Court in July 2014 had handed the special crime division of the CBI the task to investigative whether actress Jiah Khan;s death was suicidial or homicidial, and although there was found to have been no concrete evidence to make it a case for homicide, new information submitted by the CBI may make a case for the abetment to <keyword id="6356238" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Suicide">suicide</keyword> against <keyword id="1623055" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sooraj-Pancholi">Sooraj Pancholi</keyword> a wee bit stronger. 
 The CBI charge sheet, submitted to a sessions court on Wednesday, describes Khan's <keyword id="6357791" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="abortion">abortion</keyword> and Pancholi's role in it in graphic detail. A source gave details of the charge sheet to Mumbai Mirror stating that Jiah was four weeks pregnant when she informed Pancholi about it. The couple then approached a physician who prescribed some medicines for medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) but that didn't help. The couple then approached another doctor and finally a gynaecologist who prescribed a stronger and more effective combination of drugs. 
"After taking the medicine, Khan started haemorrhaging and called Pancholi for help. She was in pain and needed immediate medical attention but Pancholi allegedly asked her to wait and called up the gynaecologist for guidance. He was asked to rush Khan to hospital as the foetus had probably aborted but had not been expelled from the body, which is probably what led to the hemorrhaging," the charge sheet says. 
It adds that Pancholi was afraid that if Khan got hospitalised, their relationship would become public knowledge and his career could grind to a halt even before taking off. Sooraj then decided to take matters in his own hand rather than risk going to a hospital. He extricated the foetus and disposed of it in the toilet, the charge sheet alleges. 
 
This allegedly left a deep emotional scar on Khan as she was very possessive about Pancholi and the latter started avoiding her, possibly for the sake of his acting career. "This added to her depression which finally drove her to suicide," the charge sheet states. 
The earlier charge sheet filed by the Juhu police after Khan's suicide does not mention this incident and it came to light only when the CBI recorded the statement of doctors, who are among the 11 new witnesses examined. 
 
Officially, the CBI was tight-lipped about the contents of the charge sheet and only said that a case under Section 306 of the IPC was made out against a "private person". 
 
Section 306 of the IPC deals with abetment to suicide and carries a maximum imprisonment of 10 years and also a fine.

Sooraj Pancholi removed Jiah's foetus as she bled: CBI chargesheet

We all know that Salman Khan is launching his protégé <keyword id="1623055" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sooraj-Pancholi">Sooraj Pancholi</keyword> (Son of Aditya Pancholi) along with <keyword id="928985" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Athiya-Shetty">Athiya Shetty</keyword> (daughter of Suniel Shetty) in the official remake of the 1983 film Hero, in the debut production of his banner, <keyword id="1542347" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Salman-Khan-films">Salman Khan Films</keyword>. The movie’s fate was in question after Sooraj was accused of being responsible for the death of his alleged girlfriend Jiah Khan, but her death was later ruled as suicide. 
 
The first official trailer of the movie, which has been named after the original movie, is out, and Sooraj Pancholi definitely looks like the next big thing. 
 
With the toned physique and a rugged, tattooed look, we see him portraying Sooraj, a goon who has kidnapped the daughter of the IG of police, with whom he later falls in love with. Athiya, in her role as Radha, looks innocent and convincing at what was required from her end. 
The trailer is full of action scenes and we also hear the title track of the movie being played in the background in some scenes. 
 
Three words get highlighted in the trailer: rebels, love and freedom, and looks like the movie is going to be as interesting as the 1983 original, which is remembered for the earnest performances of Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Sheshadri in the lead roles. 
 
The script has been re-written by Nikhil Advani, whohas also directed the movie, along with Umesh Bisht. Co-produced by Mukta Arts, the banner that produced the original, Eros International, Emmay Entertainment and Salman Khan Films, the movie would release on 11th September.

Hero: The saga of rebels, love and freedom

<keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword>, who has turned producer to launch protégé <keyword id="1623055" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sooraj-Pancholi">Sooraj Pancholi</keyword> in his <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Hero-The-saga-of-rebels-love-and-freedom/articleshow/48085855.cms">upcoming movie Hero</a>, is making sure that the debut venture is a roaring success. 
 
From training Sooraj in building his physique to being with him at movie’s press conferences, Salman is using his experience in the industry as well as his star-status to create buzz for the movie. 
 
A few days back, images of Salman in a recording studio went around the internet, forcing us to think if the ‘<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Salman-Khan-scolds-Twitter-followers-like-a-Bhai/articleshow/47612143.cms">bhai</a>’ of <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> has lent his voice to the film. This has indeed happened, as confirmed by a teaser of Salman singing a love song, which would make the title track of the movie. 
 The song is ‘Main Hoon <keyword id="7029" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hero">Hero</keyword> Tera’ and would feature the lead actors of the movie. The teaser was shared by Khan himself, on the social networking site Twitter.

The last time we heard Salman singing was for the song Hangover, from the movie Kick. However, it’s for the first time that Salman has sung for someone else, and in fact, he is the only Bollywood actor of his times to have done so. In the past, we have seen Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan singing portions of their songs for themselves. 
 
Earlier, Shruti Haasan had <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Shruti-Haasan-Sets-A-New-Trend-With-Joganiyan/articleshow/45525300.cms">lent her voice</a> to Sonakshi Sinha for the song Joganiyan from the movie Tevar.

The movie has been directed by Nikhil Advani (the director of another upcoming movie <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Meet-the-commitment-phobic-Payal-and-the-lover-boy-Maddy-From-Katti-Batti/articleshow/47675125.cms">Katti Batti</a>) and is the remake of Subhash Ghai’s 1983 film of the same name.

From <keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword> and Kareena Kapoor to <keyword id="6354526" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="40" keywordseo="Alia-Bhatt">Alia Bhatt</keyword> and Arjun Kapoor, we have seen many star kids making it big in Bollywood. And here is a new batch of star kids getting ready to try their luck in B-town. So let us take a look at the most promising names. 
 
Tiger Shroff 
Jackie Shroff’s son Tiger is all set to taste the Friday fury of Bollywood when his upcoming film Heropanti hits the theatres. What’s more, with this movie, life has come full circle for Jackie who debuted with Hero some 30 years back and the current movie is a remake of the earlier one. With acting in his genes, a perfectly chiselled body, enviable looks and confident dance moves, 24-year-old Tiger appears to be a complete Bollywood package. 
 
Harshvardhan Kapoor After <keyword id="710" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Sonam-Kapoor">Sonam Kapoor</keyword>, it’s time for kid brother Harshvardhan to go for a Bollywood outing. Taking after papa Anil Kapoor (including his looks), 21-year-old Harshvardhan initially assisted Anurag Kashyap in Bombay Velvet. But Kapoor Jr. will soon start shooting for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s, Mirza Sahibaan, where he will be playing the role of Mirza. It is said that Harshvardhan has cut himself off completely from the elitist lifestyle of Mumbai and is staying in Delhi to get into the skin of the character. 
 
<keyword id="108765" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Isabel-Kaif">Isabel Kaif</keyword> <keyword id="6354850" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Katrina-Kaif">Katrina Kaif</keyword>’s kid sister Isabelle is all set to venture into movies with Dr. Cabbie, a film directed by Canadian director Jean-François Pouliot and co-produced by Bollywood actor Salman Khan. Interestingly, Isabel has a degree in acting from the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, New York. 
 
Suraj Pancholi and <keyword id="928985" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="40" keywordseo="Athiya-Shetty">Athiya Shetty</keyword> 
While Tiger is busy with Heropanti, the remake of his father’s debut movie Hero stars two new star kids on the block. In this flick, Aditya Pancholi’s son Suraj and Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya will be playing the roles, which were portrayed by Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Sheshadri in the 1983 original. 
 
Akshara Haasan 
Kamal Haasan and Sarika’s daughter has finally made up her mind and given a nod to acting. But unlike her elder sister Shruti, Akshara is going to debut with a Bollywood movie. Rumours are rife that it is going to be an R. Balki film, starring Dhanush and Amitabh Bachchan. Now, that’s what we call a big break. 
 
Jhanvi Kapoor Going by her looks and the kind of exposure she has, this daughter of producer-director Boney Kapoor and actress <keyword id="6354580" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Sridevi">Sridevi</keyword> may soon make it to a Bollywood movie. Buzz is rife that Jhanvi will enter Bollywood with a Karan Johar film and she is already taking diction and dancing classes for the same.
