Jiah Khan’s twitter handle describes her as an ‘actor, poet, singer, musician and dreamer’ who sees ‘life through my rose coloured glasses.’ So it comes as a shock that the 25-year-old actor chose to end her life yesterday at her Mumbai residence. According to the police, her maid, watchman and neighbours are being interrogated to find out her last visitors to establish the cause of her death. No suicide note has been found so far and the body has been sent to Cooper Hospital for postmortem.
The first one to rush was actor Aditya Pancholi. Sources present confirmed that he overlooked the proceedings when the body was being taken to the hospital. Jiah was good friends with the Pancholi family and was also rumored to be dating Aditya Pancholi’s son Suraj Pancholi.
