Actor Sooraj Pancholi states that he needs to move forward it’s been a long time as he was charged with abetting the suicide of his ex-girlfriend Jiah Khan, “Keeping the emotions intact for the person who has passed away, we do need some movement forward. It’s been a long, long time and I can’t afford to lose more time.”
Sooraj further added, “I went to court without any presumption. I knew that there was something I was going to be charged with, but I’m ready for any charge against me because until I have a charge, I cannot defend myself. The trial begins from the 14th, and finally, there will be progress. For so many years, we’ve never ever delayed the court process. It usually is ‘innocent until proven guilty’, but with my case, it started with ‘guilty until proven innocent’. I just hope that people state the facts. If it’s bad, write against me; but if it’s in my favour, please write that as well.”
He concluded by saying, “I have lost my 20s in this bargain, but I don’t want to feel like a victim. I don’t want any sympathy. I just want my trial to be fair — whether it goes against me or in my favour. I’ve been shown as a criminal since day one; it’s not a good thing to live with. Four years of my prime have gone in attending court proceedings and nothing has happened. I want my case to end, fairly.”
