Zarina Wahab Speaks on Jiah Khan and Sooraj Pancholi Case
Imagine two friends, Sooraj and Jiah, who were in a relationship.
Sooraj's mom, Zarina, said they broke up a month before something sad happened.
Jiah was feeling down because she didn't get a part in a movie.
On the day of the sad event, Jiah tried to call Sooraj, but he was busy.
Zarina said the whole situation was tough on her son because people didn't understand what happened.
After a long time, a court decided Sooraj wasn't responsible for what happened.
