Sooraj Pancholi (born 9 November 1990) is an Indian actor who appears in Hindi-language films. He debuted with the romantic action film Hero (2015) for which he won a Filmfare award for Best Newcomer.[3]
Early life[edit]
Pancholi was born on 9 November 1990 to Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab in Mumbai. His parents are also Bollywood actors[4] He has a sister Sana Pancholi,[5] and his grandfather Rajan Pancholi was a filmmaker.
Career[edit]
Sooraj was an assistant director on films such as Guzaarish and Ek Tha Tiger.[6] In 2015, he made his acting debut in the romantic action film Hero, which earned him a Filmfare Award for Best Newcomer in 2016.[3] He then acted in Satellite Shankar which released on 8 November 2019.[7] He has also been cast in the upcoming Indian dance film Time to Dance.[8] He has also appeared in the music videos GF BF (2016) and Dim Dim Lights (2019).
Personal life[edit]
In 2013, Pancholi dated actress Jiah Khan, who died of suicide in June of that year. Based on Khan's suicide note, which blamed the couple's strained relationship as a reason for her death, Pancholi was arrested and interviewed under suspicion he aided Khan's suicide.[9][10] In 2018 Pancholi was formally charged with abetting Khan's suicide.[11][12]
The criminal case was expected to begin in March 2018, but as of November 2019[update], it had not begun yet, which Pancholi attributed to Khan's mother's refusal to proceed.[13] Pancholi has denied involvement in Khan's death, describing himself as a scapegoat for her decision to end her life.[14]
