On June 3rd, 2013, a 25-year-old Bollywood actress Jiah Khan was found hanging herself to death in her Mumbai apartment by her mother.
A week later, her mother Rabiya Khan released Jiah's hand-written letter to the press, saying that Jiah's sister found a harrowing six-page letter 3 days after her death, in which her daughter Jiah claimed she was driven to suicide by her cheating, violent boyfriend; namely Sooraj Pancholi. Her letter also mentioned about her abortion.

Acting on the complaint by Jiah's mother, Sooraj was arrested by police for suspicious of abetting suicide and was presented in the court after the end of his three days' police custody where he was sent to judicial custody till June 27th. Sooraj had allegedly deleted all mobile records of SMSes and MMSes sent by the late actress thus longer time needed by public prosecutor for questioning him to unravel details on Jiah's suicide.
Seems the boyfriend has something to hide...
Question: is this sad and tragic suicide is all about Jiah Khan's undivided love to playboy Sooraj? Or is it a real life dilemma of celebrities in the make-believed entertainment world?
Born Nafisa Khan in New York, actress Jiah Khan grew up in London before moving to Mumbai for a career in Bollywood. Jiah Khan made her sizzling debut opposite Bollywood’s biggest superstar, Amitabh Bachchan in Nishabd in 2007. She also acted with Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar. It was reported that her career went downhill after her last film role in the 2010 comedy Housefull.
She was alleged to have been depressed due to her career and it was made worse with her stormy love-life that drove her to self-destruction.
Says clinical psychologist Seema Hingorrany, "Most TV stars and upcoming stars in films suffer from depression due to rejection. Some who were successful in the beginning of their careers are unable to deal with the lows when it comes to a standstill. The problem escalates when they don't have other avenues to bank on. While many turn to alcoholism and drugs, a few tend to take extreme steps like Jiah."
It is not always a rose garden for the rich and famous... finding happiness seems harder for them. Perhaps they need stronger spiritual guidance...
