Sooraj
Pancholi
Thanked
His
Parents!
"I
wanted
to
wait
to
speak
out
until
the
case
ended,
but
it's
taken
longer
than
expected.
I
don't
know
where
to
start
from.
It
is
difficult
to
express
some
feelings
when
so
many
people,
so
many
emotions
are
involved.
First,
I
want
to
thank
those
who
have
stood
by
me
like
a
pillar
of
strength.
It
has
been
a
long
journey
that
started
when
I
was
still
trying
to
understand
life."
Sooraj
Pancholi
Talks
About
The
Jiah
Khan
Case
"I
have
been
fighting
the
case
in
court
for
the
last
6
years,
with
patience
and
respect,
waiting
for
the
trial
to
be
completed.
In
this
process
I
have
been
called
a
murderer,
a
criminal,
an
abuser
and
so
much
worse.
I
read
these
things
about
me
almost
every
single
day.
And
my
heartfelt
effort
has
always
been
to
be
strong,
respectful
and
ignore
it."
I'm
Not
The
Monster
That
The
Headlines
Portray
But
they
still
fill
my
and
my
loved
ones'
heart
with
so
much
sadness.
I
don't
blame
the
people
who
call
me
names,
because
that's
how
i
have
been
portrayed
in
public,
but
I'm
not
the
monster
that
has
been
portrayed
in
headlines.
I
know
how
easy
it
is
to
think
the
worst
of
someone
and
accuse
them
but
it
is
exceptionally
hard
to
prove
myself
innocent
as
there's
a
procedure
that
we
need
to
follow."
I've
Been
Made
To
Feel
Guilty
Without
A
Chance
To
Prove
My
Innocence
"A
procedure
that
has
taken
long
enough
that
I
have
been
made
to
feel
guilty
without
even
being
given
a
fair
chance
to
prove
my
innocence.
There
have
been
accusations
and
assumptions
but
there
has
been
no
validation.
But,
this
is
not
about
what
others
say.
This
is
about
how
I
feel.
For
as
long
as
I
can
remember,
my
dream
has
always
been
to
make
my
parents
proud."
I
Have
Always
Tried
To
Be
A
Good
Son
To
My
Parents
"I
have
always
tried
to
be
a
good
son
to
them.
In
the
last
6
years,
I've
tried
harder
everyday
to
achieve
this
dream
and
to
be
positive.
So
today,
I
am
praying
with
my
heart
that
our
family
can
move
forward,
that
the
trial
can
come
to
a
fair
end
and
that
I
can
give
back
all
the
love,
support
and
strength
I
have
received
from
so
many
of
you.
Thank
you
to
all
of
you
who
constantly
send
positivity
my
way.
You
may
not
know
it,
but
every
single
one
of
your
prayers
has
helped,"
Sooraj
Pancholi
summed
it
up.
