Actor Aditya Pancholi, who had accompanied his son Suraj to the police station for questioning, also payed the grieving family a visit.
Jiah was reportedly in a relationship with Suraj Pancholi and was heartbroken after a failed relationship with him which possibly drove her to commit suicide.
Suraj and Jiah spoke over telephone a number of times on Monday before she ended her life, sources had earlier said.
Jiah's mother and sister had gone out and she was alone at the house when she took the extreme step.
Both Suraj and Aditya were questioned by the police in connection with the case.

Suraj Pancholi, an aspiring actor, was also spotted.
According to Jiah's mother, the actress was depressed after having been rejected at an audition in Hyderabad.
She wanted to pursue a career in interior designing as she wasn't happy with her film career graph.
