Pancholi:
Sooraj
Pancholi
has
been
hitting
the
headlines
again
after
being
acquitted
by
the
CBI
Special
Court
of
the
charges
of
abetment
to
suicide
in
the
Jiah
Khan
death
case
after
ten
long
years.
In
2013,
Jiah
was
found
dead
in
her
bedroom,
and
her
mother
claimed
that
Pancholi
had
murdered
her.
Soon
the
actor
took
to
social
media
and
hailed
the
verdict,
distributed
sweets
to
paps,
visited
Siddhivinayak
temple,
and
revealed
that
he
received
constant
support
from
Salman
Khan
and
Suniel
Shetty
throughout
the
course
of
the
case.
Now,
the
actor
is
reflecting
on
the
past
decade
and
how
people
treated
him.
SOORAJ
PANCHOLI
TALKS
ABOUT
DEALING
WITH
DARK
TIMES
In
a
recent
interview,
the
Hero
actor
opened
up
about
facing
dark
times
during
the
Jiah
Khan
suicide
case
and
how
that
has
had
a
devastating
effect
on
him.
Speaking
to
ETimes,
Sooraj
spoke
about
people's
attitude
towards
him
all
these
years.
He
said,
"From
the
moment
I
stepped
out
of
my
house
to
the
time
I
got
back,
I
felt
trapped,
breathless,
and
judged
every
day.
Especially
in
showbiz,
perception
is
everything.
At
any
event,
I
was
the
last
person
to
reach
and
the
first
to
leave."
He
further
added
that
he
felt
people
were
judging
him
even
when
they
weren't.
"There
was
this
constant
pressure,
a
feeling
that
people
don't
want
to
be
around
me
or
seen
with
me
and
that
is
the
worst
feeling
ever...
the
thought
of
being
unwanted," he
shared.
SOORAJ
PANCHOLI
TALKS
ABOUT
FACING
HOSTILITY
In
the
same
interviews,
Sooraj
revealed
that
he
was
not
part
of
Bollywood
when
the
accusations
were
made
against
him.
He
recalled
the
hostility
he
faced
around
the
release
of
his
debut
movie
and
even
after
that.
He
stated,
"I
did
sense
a
bit
of
hesitation
and
hostility.
I
was
removed
from
projects.
The
films
that
I
was
working
on
were
stopped
midway.
Every
time
I
tried
to
move
on,
some
fake
reports
in
the
media
and
vicious
online
trolling
held
me
back."
For
the
uninitiated,
Sooraj
Pancholi
debuted
in
Bollywood
with
Hero
in
2015
alongside
debutante
Athiya
Shetty.
The
film
was
a
remake
of
the
1983
movie
of
the
same
name
that
starred
Jackie
Shroff
and
Menakshi
Seshadri.
