I was waiting for the right film\u2026 and couldn\u2019t have asked for a better comeback than this.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sooraj was arrested in 2013 following the death of actress Jiah Khan, who he was dating at the time. He spent 22 days in jail before being granted bail. A note later produced by Khan\u2019s family claimed their strained relationship contributed to her death. In 2018, he was formally charged with abetment of suicide \u2014 charges he consistently denied, stating he was made a scapegoat. In April 2023, a CBI Special Court acquitted him due to lack of evidence.
