Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi has been ruling the headlines over the past few months in connection to his ex-girlfriend Jiah Khan’s suicide case. For over a decade, he was mocked and ridiculed because of the media trials. Now that he has started getting his life back on track, he shed light on his relationship with the late actress and also opened up about his seven year long relationship during a recent interview.
Talking about his relationship status, Sooraj told ETimes that he has been in a relationship with someone for seven years now. He went on to express how his relationship with Jiah was probably one of his shortest relationships he has ever been in. He went on to share more details about his current relationship and called it beautiful.

Quoted by India.com, he added, “There’s nothing in the world that can match up to the feeling of being in love, being taken care of, and doing the same for the other person. For me, this relationship it’s very personal because many have judged me unfairly as a bad lover or partner, but only those close to me know how I am.” ALSO READ: Sooraj Pancholi Visits Gurudwara Bangla Sahib in Delhi, Days After Being Acquitted In Jiah Khan’s Suicide Case- See PICS
When asked about the identity of his girlfriend, the 32-year-old expressed that she isn’t an actress which is why he doesn’t want to ‘divulge her identity.’ He went on to add that he wants to keep his relationship private as his personal life has been discussed publicly for far too long. When asked about his wedding plans, Sooraj said, “Maybe, in a few years.”
For the unversed, Jiah Khan 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. He was acquitted in May 2023 by a special CBI Court due to lack of evidence.
