Here is the text from actress Jiah Khan's letter allegedly addressed to Suraj Pancholi. This letter was shared to the media by Jiah's mother through their publicists.

"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 everyday. 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 the pain you have caused me everyday has destroyed every bit of me, destroyed my soul. I can't eat or sleep or think or function. I am running away from everything. The career is not even worth it anymore.

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 partying and women. Mine was you and my work. If I stay here I will crave you and miss you. So I am kissing my 10-year career and dreams goodbye. I never told you but I received a message about you. About you cheating on me. I chose to ignore it, decided to trust you. You embarrassed me. I never went out, I never went with anyone else. I am a loyal person. I never met anyone with Karthik I just wanted you to feel how you make me feel constantly. No other woman will give you as much as I did or love you as much as I did. I can write that in my blood.

Things were looking up for me here, but is it worth it when you constantly feel the pain of heartbreak when the person you love wants to abuse you or threatens to hit you or cheats on you telling other girls they are beautiful or throws you out of their house when you have no where to go and you've come to them out of love or when they lie to your face or they make you chase after them in their car. Or disrespects their family. You never even met my sister. I bought your sister presents. You tore my soul. I have no reason to breathe anymore. All I wanted was love. I did everything for you. I was working for us. But you were never my partner. My future is destroyed my happiness snatched away from me. I always wished the best for you, was ready to invest what little money I had in your betterment. You never appreciated my love, Kicked me in the face. I have no confidence or self esteem left, whatever talent whatever ambition you took it all away. You destroyed my life. It hurt me so much that I waited for you for ten days and you didn't bother buying me something.

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. You destroyed my Christmas and my birthday dinner when I came back. When I tried my hardest to make your birthday special. You chose to be away from me on Valentines Day. You promised me once we made it to one year we would get engaged.
         

All you want in life is partying, your women and your selfish motives. All I wanted was you and my happiness you took both away from me. I spent money on you selflessly you would throw in my face. When I would cry for you. I have nothing left in this world to live for after this. I wish you had loved me like I loved you. I dreamt of our future. I dreamt of our success. 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. I am nothing. I had everything. I felt so alone even while with you. You made me feel alone and vulnerable. I am so much more than this."   
11 December 2015 : CBI charged Sooraj Pancholi for extricating Jiah Khan’s foetus by himself for abatement of suicide. The chargesheet read as:

Jiah was four weeks pregnant when she informed Pancholi about it.The couple then approached a physician who prescribed some medicines for medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) but that didn’t help. The couple then approached another doctor and finally a gynecologist who prescribed a stronger and more effective combination of drugs. After taking the medicine, Khan started hemorrhaging and called Pancholi for help. She was in pain and needed immediate medical attention but Pancholi allegedly asked her to wait and called up the gynecologist for guidance. He was asked to rush Khan to hospital as the fetus had probably aborted but had not been expelled from the body, which is probably what led to the hemorrhaging.

The chargesheet further adds that Pancholi was afraid that if Khan got hospitalized, their relationship would become public and his career would be affected. Sooraj then decided to take matters in his own hands rather than risk going to a hospital. He reportedly extricated the fetus and disposed it in the toilet. This allegedly left a deep emotional scar on Khan as she was very possessive about Pancholi and the latter started avoiding her, possibly for the sake of his acting career. This added to her depression which finally drove her to suicide.


            

Jimi Hendrix Died at 28 (1942-1970)

Jimi Hendrix, whom millions of fans considered the world's finest pop star, died of what police sources said was an apparent overdose of drugs.

The 24-year-old American musician of Cherokee Indian and [African-American] stock was found deeply unconscious at the home of a blonde girl friend in the Notting Hill section. He was pronounced dead after being taken in an ambulance to St. Mary Abbots Hospital.

His body was taken from the hospital to a southwest London morgue for an autopsy.

Hendrix, whose wild performance often ended with his smashing his guitar and amplification equipment, seemed to write his own epitaph when a year ago he told a reporter:

"I tell you when I die I'm going to have a funeral. I'm going to have a jam session. And, knowing me, I'll probably get busted at my own funeral."
Article on Jimi Hendrix's death in the NY Daily News on September 19, 1970.

A year earlier he was arrested in Toronto, Canada, for possession of hashish and heroin, but was acquitted. During the trial he said he used marijuana, hashish, LSD and cocaine but never heroin. His most popular song, Purple Haze, was descriptive of drug culture.

After the trial, he had said: "This I really believe: anybody should be able to think or do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt somebody else."

The tall, rangy Hendrix, one of the highest paid performers in the world, had been a star attraction at big rock festivals from New York's Woodstock to England's Isle of Wight. His records had sold in the millions.

Born James Maurice Hendrix in Seattle, Washington, he was a high school dropout who had served as a paratrooper in United States forces. After his discharge due to a parachute injury, he made his way to New York where he was discovered by Chas Chandler, bass guitarist with Eric Burdon's original Animals.

Despite his reputation for wildness, Hendrix was an accomplished musician who had taught himself to play guitar, organ piano, drums and bass.

Hendrix last week of his life completed a highly successful tour of Germany, and another tour there had already been arranged.

He had been living at the Cumberland Hotel in the West End with his manager, Gerry Stickells.

Burdon, a close friend of Hendrix, had told that Jimi had spent the night with the girl friend and "she found him in a coma the following morning and had called for an ambulance."

Friend Meic Stevens believes Hendrix possibly choked and lost his life because he didn’t understand how to drink the substance. Speaking openly for the first time since Hendrix’s death, Stevens said the guitar great was blending red wine with lager, and drinking the mixture out of a pint glass.

‘I was with Jimi Hendrix the night he died,” he told the Daily Mail. “He had been drinking red wine with me – even though he had never drunk red wine in his life before.”

The 69-year-old added he and Hendrix were out with Marmalade stars Gary Farr and Jimmy Cregan, plus Eric Clapton, living it up at the Scotch of St James bar in Mayfair.

“[Hendrix] was drinking lager or some kind of beer and he just poured the wine in to the pint glass. I don’t think he had ever drunk red wine before – he didn’t know how to drink it,” Stevens said.

“…He seemed okay. He seemed to be alright. But the next day I woke up late and somebody phoned and said Jimi’s dead. Apparently he choked on his own vomit.”

Hendrix’s U.S. manager recently refuted claims the guitar great was murdered, which makes this red wine story even more possible. We think it still sounds fishy that Hendrix died because he “didn’t know” how to drink wine.
