“The Verdict has taken 10 long painful years and sleepless nights. But today I have not only won this case against me but I have also won my dignity and confidence back. It took a lot of courage to face the world with such heinous allegations, I hope and pray to God that nobody goes through what I have gone through at such a young age. I don’t know who will give me these 10 years of my life back to me, but I am glad that this has finally come to an end not only for me but specially for my family. There is nothing bigger than peace in this world.”

Sooraj had also taken to Instagram and reacted with a story that read, “The TRUTH Always Wins!”
For the unversed, Jiah Khan died by suicide on 3rd June 2013. She was found hanging from her bedroom ceiling. She left behind a lengthy 6-page suicide note detailing her troubled relationship with Sooraj Pancholi. She alleged that Sooraj had cheated on her. Shockingly, she also revealed that she had gotten pregnant and had to abort Sooraj’s baby.
