Sooraj Pancholi photographed at an event in Mumbai.
Actor Sooraj Pancholi, who is making his debut with
Hero and who was charged with abetting Jiah Khan's suicide, said that he feels it's better to speak less about the late actress as people are misunderstanding it as a means of "publicity".
Talking about Jiah Khan, Sooraj said, "Recently, I had tried to talk about the incident but people started to think that I want publicity from this topic. So I decided that the lesser I talk about it, the better it is".
During a promotional event last week, Sooraj had said: "My name will always be associated with her and I have no guilt for that. I am happy that something at least stays with me. I am sad that she ended her life. But at least her name is with me and I have no problems with it." (Also Read:
