MUMBAI: Salman Khan is upset that his name is being dragged into the Jiah Khan suicide case. Salman Khan told TOI, "I was not even aware of Suraj and Jiah's relationship. I got to know of it through a news magazine." The actor said he has never had any conversation with Aditya Pancholi asking him to intervene in Suraj's relationship matters, and finds the allegation ridiculous. The actor, who said his sympathy is with the family that has lost a daughter, added that he needed to think about his own life and not interfere in others'.
Suraj Pancholi is acting in Salman Khan's home production which is a remake of 1980s' hit 'Hero'. A family friend of the Pancholi said, "Suraj had been training for 10 hours a day for his new film. He would leave home by 9 in the morning for gymnastics training in Kandivli. He would return home for lunch, go to the gym, followed by a dancing class. His day would end with martial arts."
It may be recalled that Jiah Khan's mother Rabia has mentioned in her statement to the police that Pancholi was upset with Suraj about his relationship with Jiah. She had said that Pancholi had spoken to Salman Khan about it, who allegedly tried to dissuade him. Suraj, according to the actor's mother, had told Salman that he was in love with Jiah and Salman was fine with it.
Salman Khan, though, has rubbished all the claims.
