She continued, "We all believe that if my son is guilty, he should be penalised, but if he is not, he must also get his clean chit from the Court. He should have the right to move on."

"I feel bad for my baccha for what he has endured. I also feel the pain of the mother who lost her daughter. Most parts of the last 10 years were terrible for us. Each time I saw Sooraj's face, I knew what he was feeling. He and I would avoid looking at each other because we could both could read each other's minds. We would both get worried and were unable to hide our feelings," she was quoted as saying.

Zarina said that she has faith in the judiciary and is happy that the trial will be expedited. "I am happy that we will all find closure. We wanted this to happen. It's Sooraj's life, his career at stake. I just wish that Sooraj keeps his composure and stays as strong as he has been all along. I want to see him happy and relaxed, which has not happened in years," she signed off.
