Sooraj Pacholi had a dream debut in Bollywood with Salman Khan's movie 'Hero' which released in the year 2015. Now speculations are rife, that Sooraj is finding it tough to find work in films due to his past history with controversies. Earlier, in a interview, this year, the actor had admitted that after his name was dragged into the Jiah Khan suicide case seven years ago, he has found it tough to get work in Bollywood. With the case still going on, Sooraj’s legal woes are far from over. The actor had said that very few people were interested in associating with him for any projects, and that he had struggled to get work because there was no closure in the case even after all these years. The star kid was last seen in Satellite Shankar which tanked at the box-office. Recently the actor was also linked with the death of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput.
The actor and his mother Zarina Wahab, has said that it is unfortunate that her son’s name was brought up in connection to the deaths of both Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian, who managed Sushant briefly. Sushant and Disha died within a week of each other, causing much speculation. Zarina told Bollywood Hungama in an interview, “I want to laugh it off as well as feel bad. People have so much free time during the lockdown, that they say anything about anyone. They are connecting past events, whereas he (Sooraj Pancholi) has never met that girl (Disha Salian). He keeps saying that he has not met her ever and still people do not believe. ”Previously, it had been speculated on social media that Sooraj was a friend of Disha’s and that he had thrown a party on the eve of Sushant’s death. The actor also filed a complaint with the Mumbai Police, alleging harassment due to unsubstantiated reports connecting him to Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput’s deaths. Sooraj in an earlier interview to India Today had said that his mother was worried about him after the recent news reports came in. He said, “My mother thinks that I’m going to harm myself. And she has spoken to me a couple of times. Even after Sushant’s death, she spoke to me saying, ‘Sooraj, whatever it is, if there’s anything in your heart please come and talk to us. Don’t be quiet.’ I’m not a very talkative person when it comes to my problems. I don’t discuss with my family because I know they’re stressed because of me.”
