Mumbai: Sooraj Pancholi has been embroiled in controversies from the time he stepped into the film industry.
The actor, who made his Bollywood debut with ‘Hero’ in 2015 and was last seen in ‘Time To Dance’ in 2021, recently made his comeback with ‘Kesari Veer’ after getting acquitted from Jiah Khan’s suicide case.
Just like Sooraj, his parents’ personal life has also been marked by controversies.
During an interview with Hindi Rush, Sooraj opened up about the bond between his parents, actors Zarina Wahab and Aditya Pancholi, and revealed why his mother is still staying with his father despite his extramarital affairs.
“She holds the entire family together, and she has really been through a lot because of us. I have never, ever seen her break down. She has never complained about anything,” Sooraj told the news portal.
“She has been acting since the age of 16. She is almost 65 now. She is self-made. She has four homes of her own. She doesn’t need money. If she wanted to leave, she could have done it long back. Sometimes, women don’t leave because they don’t have a backup… My father never stopped her from working. He never questioned her about the work. She had a route to go back to Hyderabad; she has a home in Bandra also… She has her mother’s home in Bandra. She has four sisters, one of them is in America. She has four brothers. She could have left any time, but it’s her decision to stay. I am nobody to judge this, it’s an understanding between them and I am in no position to comment on their arrangement,” said Sooraj.
Zarina and Aditya, who tied the knot in 1986, are parents to Sooraj and Sana Pancholi.
