I was not aware of Jiah-Suraj relationship: Salman

MUMBAI: Salman Khan is upset that his name is being dragged into the Jiah Khan suicide case. Salman Khan told TOI, "I was not even aware of Suraj and Jiah's relationship. I got to know of it through a news magazine." The actor said he has never had any conversation with Aditya Pancholi asking him to intervene in Suraj's relationship matters, and finds the allegation ridiculous. The actor, who said his sympathy is with the family that has lost a daughter, added that he needed to think about his own life and not interfere in others'.

Suraj Pancholi is acting in Salman Khan's home production which is a remake of 1980s' hit 'Hero'. A family friend of the Pancholi said, "Suraj had been for 10 hours a day for his new film. He would leave home by 9 in the morning for gymnastics training in Kandivli. He would return home for lunch, go to the , followed by a dancing class. His day would end with martial arts."

It may be recalled that Jiah Khan's mother Rabia has mentioned in her statement to the police that Pancholi was upset with Suraj about his relationship with Jiah. She had said that Pancholi had spoken to Salman Khan about it, who allegedly tried to dissuade him. Suraj, according to the actor's mother, had told Salman that he was in love with Jiah and Salman was fine with it.

Salman Khan, though, has rubbished all the claims.

i am glad he cleared it !!!!
people needs to stop dragging him 🥱

salman unfortunately every year gets into some sort of a controversy...last yr i dnt recall any but in all d odr yrs theres alwaz some thing or d odr..poor guy dis tym was only launching a guy.hw cud he predict smthng of dis sort wud happen n his name will be dragged..

I had a feeling he knew nothing ab it.

Glad he cleared dat up. Flippn hell why does everyone drag his name into their personal matters.

Glad that Salman isnt involved in the controversy.

Finally can the dogs stop barking now

I had a feeling rabia is lying, i wonder if the suicide letter was real or not.

if he says, he didn interfere in their relationship, i will believe it. but he was not even aware of it? 😲

Did anyone actually believe he interfered? 😆 He's busy with his movies, his personal life and BH. Don't think he has the time to worry about who Suraj was dating. Its clear Jiah's mom has a lot of issues. And, dragging Salman in every story is in style these days. Any random person name drops him to get some mileage. He usually doesn't comment on any story but I am glad he cleared it up.
