In a startling revelation Sunday, Bollywood actress Jiah Khan’s mother Rabea told this newspaper Jiah had an abortion during her relationship with Suraj, Aditya Pancholi’s son. “Jiah’s stylist Maneka (Harisin-ghani) mentioned this to me three days after Jiah passed away,” she said.
Jiah’s mother firmly believes Suraj abetted her suicide. “Just before she committed suicide, she met Suraj. I suspect he hit her on the face. I’ve asked the police to investigate if the injury on her face is because of this. While returning home that night, it can be seen in the CCTV she was determined (to kill herself),” said grief-stricken Rabea.
A family member of Jiah’s said: “Maneka told us that Jiah had confided in her that Suraj had got her pregnant. The abortion took place in a hospital in Mumbai. She became dehydrated after that, and also stopped eating. We will be alleging abetment against him.”
“We also have BlackBerry and WhatsApp messages sent by Jiah to her sisters, which prove Suraj was harassing her,” she added.
