A
year
after
Bollywood
actress
Jiah
Khan
was
found
dead
and
hanging
at
her
Mumbai
residence,
a
memorial
service
will
be
held
in
London
on
Tuesday,
with
her
mother,
family
and
friends
in
attendance.
"A
memorial
service
will
be
held
in
Jiah's
memory
at
the
Chelsea
Town
Hall
attended
by
Jiah's
friends
and
family,
including
her
mother
Rabiyya
Amin,
who
has
campaigned
tirelessly
over
the
past
12
months
to
unearth
the
truth
behind
Jiah's
death," read
a
mailer.
The
New
York-born
Jiah
-
who
acted
in
a
blockbuster
like
Ghajini,
was
25
when
she
was
found
hanging
in
her
Juhu
flat
late
on
June
3,
2013.
Her
sudden
death
continues
to
remain
a
mystery,
and
her
mother
has
vowed
to
keep
the
'battle
going
on'.
"I
shall
keep
the
battle
going
all
the
way
until
I
get
to
the
root
of
the
truth.
Although
it's
been
a
year,
to
me,
it
seems
like
yesterday,"
said
Rabbiya.
Jiah's
alleged
suicide
was
initially
attributed
to
a
lack
of
assignments,
but
it
was
alleged
that
she
was
going
through
a
troubled
phase
in
her
relationship
with
actor
Aditya
Pancholi's
son
Sooraj.
Her
mother
accused
Sooraj
of
abetting
Jiah's
'suicide' after
the
family
recovered
a
letter
penned
by
the
'Nishabd'
actress.
Sooraj
was
also
taken
into
custody,
and
was
interrogated
in
the
case,
but
eventually
he
was
released
on
bail.
But
Rabbiya
has
still
not
left
hope
of
getting
justice
for
her
daughter.
"They
are
delaying
to
sabotage
and
compromise
the
crucial
evidence.
Jiah's
mother's
long
fight
for
justice
will
not
stop
until
truth
is
revealed,"
Rabbiya
said.
In
her
latest
attempt,
she
has
sought
the
help
of
the
British
police
to
investigate
her
daughter's
death.
She
has
written
to
Foreign
Secretary
William
Hague
to
help
bring
about
justice
for
her
daughter,
reports
dailymail.co.uk.
She
has
urged
British
police
to
launch
a
probe
into
the
case,
which
is
currently
at
the
centre
of
a
Bombay
High
Court
hearing.
Rabbiya
earlier
also
approached
US
Ambassador
to
India
Nancy
Powell
to
ask
that
the
Federal
Bureau
of
Investigation
assist
in
the
investigation.
Jiah
was
born
as
Nafisa
Rizvi
Khan
in
New
York
and
moved
with
her
mother
to
London
when
she
was
two-year-old.
When
she
was
17,
she
was
offered
a
place
on
a
drama
course
at
the
Lee
Strasberg
Film
Institute
in
New
York.
While
on
holiday
as
an
18-year-old,
she
was
approached
by
Indian
filmmaker
Ram
Gopal
Verma,
who
cast
her
as
a
teenager
in
love
with
her
best
friend's
father
in
his
2007
film
Nishabd.
