Sooraj Pancholi blames media for his bad image! Claims they never heard my version of the story

Jiah Khan’s unprecedented move shocked the whole country and her suicide turned all the heads towards Sooraj Pancholi. Back in 2013, he was accused of being involved with her suicide who was her boyfriend. The media leave no room for recovery and Jiah-Sooraj constantly made it to the headlines. 

Now, the actor has blamed media for portraying him wrongfully without knowing the truth. The 29-year-old actor claimed, "Not even five percent of what the media has written about me till date is true."

During his interaction with IANS, he talked about how media has degraded his image. He further added "They have heard the story only from one side. They have never heard my version because I never claimed I am innocent to gain people's sympathy." 

I only want the truth to come out and the media cannot give me that. Media can't get me justice, only the court can give me that. So, I have been waiting for the court to take the decision and a lot of time has elapsed. This is my career, my bread and butter. So, I have to speak out because what is happening is wrong," added the actor.

Sooraj was charged with severe charges as Jiah's mother Rabiya Khan had accused Sooraj of murdering her. The whole conspiracy took away seven years from Sooraj in abetment to suicide after the death of his former girlfriend, actress Jiah Khan, who was found hanging in her Mumbai apartment in June 2013.

"It has been very disturbing. Not only for me but also for my family, because if anybody puts an allegation on you it is not so easy to prove yourself innocent," he said.

The Hero actor further claimed that the trial is not happening because Jiah Khan's family is not turning up in court. 

"People who had filed the case against me are not turning up in court. On top of that, the media has created a perception that I am a bad guy, without knowing the facts. If I am going to the court every time and the complainants are not turning up for the trial, that itself is a reply not only to the court but also to the people who are thinking that I am the bad guy," he said.

"I was young. I didn't even know what was happening. I am not saying I am innocent. Say, I am the bad guy, say I am the worst guy, then why won't you turn up in court? It has been seven years. Just because you own a British passport, you think you can do anything?" he said, referring to Rabiya Khan.

During a previous interview, Sooraj also mentioned that he had been growing impatient and can’t wait for another 14 to 20 years for the judgment.
