All is fair in love and war, they say. But when some love affairs turn murky, the end results could be devastating. In a sordid love drama that resulted in the tragic death of upcoming Bollywood actress Jiah Khan, glamour villa once again proved that all is not spic and span inside. After providing ample fodder of the media for a while, the case took an ugly turn with the arrest of 21-year-old Suraj Pancholi, son of actors Aditya Pancholi
The arrest was made basing on the suicide note left by Jiah that blamed Suraj for 'ruining her life, cheating on her and forcing her to abort their child.'
According to Mumbai police, Suraj was booked under IPC section 306 of the IPC. The arrest was made two days after Jiah's mother and sister found a six-page letter, supposedly written by Jiah before her death, blaming her boyfriend for ruining her life, cheating on her and forcing her to abort their child.
She said, in the note, without mentioning his name, that Suraj used her and was then unfaithful to her. Jiah was in a relationship with Suraj for over a year.
On the ill-fated day of June 3, Jiah ended her life by hanging herself at her Juhu residence. In the six-page letter found in the actress' room by her family, Jiah has not named anyone but has described her thought process in her relationship with Suraj.

The 25-year-old actress has also written about her angst at having to abort her baby during the relationship. This disclosure has shocked her family. Sources close to the family said Jiah was very career-oriented until Suraj came into her life. She thought she had found the perfect man for her, but his wayward ways caused her distress.
Jiah, who came across as a bubbly woman, was actually traumatised and lovelorn. Excerpts from the letter are below:
“I don't know how to say this to you but I might as well now as I have nothing to lose. I've already lost everything. If you're reading this I might have already left or about to leave. I am broken inside. You may not have known this but you affected me deeply to a point where I lost myself in loving you. Yet you tortured me every day.
These days I see no light I wake up not wanting to wake up. There was a time I saw my life with you, a future with you. But you shattered my dreams. I feel dead inside. I've never given so much of myself to someone or cared so much. You returned my love with cheating and lies.
It didn't matter how many gifts I gave you or how beautiful I looked for you. I was scared of getting pregnant but I gave myself completely. When I first met you I was driven, ambitious and disciplined. Then I fell for you, a love I thought would bring out the best in me. I don't know why destiny brought us together. After all the pain, the rape, the abuse, the torture I have seen previously I didn't deserve this. I didn't see any love or commitment from you. I just became increasingly scared that you would hurt me mentally or physically.
Your life was about p
I can write that in my blood… You never even met my sister. I bought your sister presents… You never appreciated my love, kicked me in the face… The Goa trip was my birthday present but even after you cheated I still spent on you.
I aborted our baby when it hurt me deeply… I wish you had loved me like I loved you… I leave this place with nothing but broken dreams and empty promises. All I want now is to go to sleep and never wake up again…"
