Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi became a widely discussed name on social media years before making his debut with Hero alongside Athiya Shetty. His messy relationship with late actress Jiah Khan made it to the headlines after she committed suicide almost a decade ago. On Friday morning, a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court cleared him of his abetment of suicide charges due to lack of evidence against him. Following this his team was seen distributing sweets to the paparazzi.
In a video that is currently going viral on social media, posted by paparazzo Viral Bhayani, a few people can be seen passing out boxes of sweets for the shutterbags to gorge on. Taking to the caption, the pap wrote, “#soorajpancholi team distributes mithai to media after the verdict came in favour of him in the Jiah Khan death case.” It is safe to say that the video hasn’t gone down well with the netizens.

For the unversed, the late actress was found dead at her residence in Juhu in 2013 at the age of 25. She had left behind a six page letter in which she had explained how she was leading an unhappy life with Sooraj. Son to actors Zarina Wahab and Aditya Pancholi, he was then taken into custody for a week after her suicide. While he was released on bail shortly after, the Bombay High Court had asked the CBI to thoroughly investigate her death.
Raised in London, Jiah has moved to India to pursue a career in Bollywood. She had made a name for herself by starring in critically acclaimed movies like Nishabd, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan’s Ghajini and Sajid Khan’s comedy caper Housefull.
