A few days later, Rabia demanded a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the matter.In February 2017, the High Court rejected the demand for the formation of the SIT.The trial court also rejected Rabia's demand for further investigation in 2018.On 15 March 2019, the trial began in the Jiah Khan case.In the year 2021, the case was reassigned to the Special CBI Court because the sessions court said that the jurisdiction of the CBI case is not with the sessions court.On March 21, 2023, the government side closed its case with the statement of 21 witnesses.On April 20, 2023, both sides presented their final arguments after which the court fixed 28 April to announce the verdict.On Friday, the Special CBI court judge Judge AS Sayyed said "Due to paucity of evidence, this court can't hold you (Sooraj Pancholi) guilty, hence acquitted."After arriving home from the court, the 'Hero' actor greeted the media persons, expressed his happiness, and thanked the paparazzi outside his Mumbai residence.His housing staff later distributed sweets to the paps.After the Court's verdict, Sooraj took to his Instagram and reacted to his acquittal and wrote, "The Truth Always Wins! #GodIsGreat."Sooraj made his Bollywood debut with the action romantic film 'Hero' opposite actor Athiya Shetty in the year 2015.Helmed by Nikkhil Advani and produced by Salman Khan, the film also starred actor Tigmasnhu Dhulia, Sharad Kelkar, Aditya Pancholi and Vivian Bhatena in pivotal roles.The film failed to impress the audience at the box office.'Hero' was an official Hindi remake of legendary director Subhash Ghai's 1983 musical drama film of the same name which starred Jackie Shroff in the lead role.After that, Sooraj was next seen in the drama film 'Satellite Shankar' in which he played the role of an Indian army officer which was released in the year 2019.Helmed by Irfan Kamal, the film also starred actor Megha Akash in the lead role and it also failed to impress the audience at the box office despite getting positive reviews.After facing some hard times in the films, Sooraj also experimented to do tough roles and opted to do a ballroom dance film titled 'Time to Dance' in the year 2021.The film marked the Bollywood debut of Katrina Kaif's sister Isabelle Kaif.Helmed by Stanley D'costa the film was another big failure of Sooraj's acting career.Earlier in 2020, Sooraj announced his next biopic film 'Hawa Singh' which was based on the life of legendary Indian boxer Hawa Singh.Actor Salman Khan took to his Twitter to announce the film and shared the first-look poster which he captioned, "Hawa se baatein karega singh... #HawaSinghBiopic."A recipient of the Arjuna Award and the Dronacharya Award, Hawa Singh dominated Indian and Asian Boxing in his weight class for a decade.Directed by Prakash Nambiar, a new update on the biopic is still awaited.Apart from films, he also appeared in some music videos like 'GF BF' and 'Dim Dim Light'.

Zarina Wahab tests negative for Covid, laments death of colleague Ashalata

22 Sep 2020

Zarina Wahab dismisses reports of having contracted the Covid 19. I had travelled to Hyderabad to meet my sister. When I was on the way to the airport to catch my flight back to Mumbai I got completely drenched. When I reached Mumbai I was sneezing and feeling cold. So I got myself immediately admitted into hospital. I didnt want anyone at home to be infected, in case I had the Covid. Luckily I tested negative, and am back home safe and sound with my family, says Zarina whos in her 60s.Regrettably Zarina lost a dear co-star Ashalata Wabgaonkar to Covid. Ive done many serials with Ashalataji. She was such a lovely human being, and a joy to work with. She had a lovely sing-song speaking voice. We affectionately called her a tota (parrot). I am so grieved to know shes no more, says Zarinaji.Ashalata was much older than Zarina. In fact Ashalataji played my mother in some serials. She had amazing enthusiasm for her work. She did theatre, television and cinema with equal passion.

Zarina Wahab to play son Sooraj Pancholis mother in Hawa Singh biopic

8 Feb 2020

Veteran actress Zarina Wahab who has played mother to everyone from Shah Rukh Khan in My Name Is Khan to Aparshakti Khurrana in Street Dancer 3D, will now play her own son Sooraj Pancholis mother in the boxing drama based on the life of gold-winning boxing champ Hawa Singh.Says a source close to the film, It is a very important role. The real Hawa Singhs mother played a very important role in his life. The film will predominantly be designed as a mother-son story and Zarinaji is looking forward to working with her son. Perhaps she will need to tone down her powerhouse dramatics to match her son who is relatively raw. Real-life powerhouse actress-mothers usually avoid coming together with their children on screen to avoid comparison. Nonetheless, the legendary Nutan and Sharmila Tagore did share screen space with their respective sons, albeit only once. Nutan was seen with her son Mohnish Behl in Yeh Kaisa Farz and Sharmila Tagore was seen with her son Saif Ali Khan in his debut film Aashik Awara.

Zarina Wahab defends husband Aditya Pancholi; accepts that he was in a RELATIONSHIP with Kangana Ranaut (Read details inside)

13 Jun 2019

The Aditya Pancholi Kangana Ranaut controversy fuelled up further when the former filed a complaint against the Queen actress for harassment! It started with Kangana accusing Aditya of rape and assault. Followed by these allegations, Adityas wife Zarina Wahab has come out in defence of her husband and has lashed out at Kangana Ranaut! She has also clarified on the earlier statements made by Kangana about approaching her for help. In recent reports, Zarina Wahab spoke about the allegations made by Kangana Ranaut on Zarinas husband Aditya Pancholi. Addressing the issue, Zarina said to media that one cant be in a relationship with a man and then later accuse him of rape and assault just because that person has moved on. Zarina further added that she has known Aditya more than anyone else and that he hasnt hid anything from her. Readers would be aware that Aditya was already married to Zarina when he was dating Kangana Ranaut. Zarina Wahab further asserted that she was always aware of their relationship. Elaborating on the same, Zarina stated that she knew that Aditya and Kangana were in a relationship for four and half years. She also reinstated that her husband has never done anything wrong with Kangana. Also Zarina made a reference to one of the earlier reports wherein it was being said that the actress had mentioned that she met Zarina and asked for help and that Adityas wife had then told her that she is like her daughter. Referring to that, Zarina firmly affirmed that she would never address Kangana as someone like her daughter because she was dating her husband. After accusations and counter accusations in the case, it was earlier being said that the police hasnt received statements of Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel on the case, a report firmly denied by Rangoli.
