Sooraj Pancholi who was recently seen in 'Kesari Veer' with Suniel Shetty recently opened up on his struggles when he was in Jail with regards to Jiah Khan's death. The actor also opened up on his parents -
Zarina Wahab
and
Aditya Pancholi
. There have always been rumours about Aditya's extra-marital affairs, and he had also admitted to being in a relationship with
Kangana Ranaut
.
In a recent interview, Sooraj has revealed how his mother just holds the entire family together.
He said on Hindi Rush podcast, "I would love to be a father like my father, and I would love to be a partner like my mother. She holds the whole 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.' Asked if it's a good thing to be an uncomplaining woman, Sooraj said, 'She's making her own money, she has never taken even one rupee from my father.
'
Sooraj added how Zarina is a self-made woman and could have divorced Aditya but she didn't. He said, "She's been acting since the age of 16; she's almost 65 now. She is self-made. She has four homes of her own. She doesn't come from money. If she wanted to leave, she could have done it long back. Sometimes, women don't leave because they don't have backup… She had a route to go 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 can't judge their arrangement.'
In a recent interview, Zarina had expressed why she never left Aditya despite his affairs and infedility. She said, "I used to feel a little bad when I used to read affair rumours, but then I also laughed at them. I don't care what he does outside, but when he enters the house, he is an excellent father and husband. And that's all matters to me. I would have felt bad if only he brought his affairs home. A lot of men have affairs and still run a family.
If I will start taking these things too seriously, and start fighting over it then I will suffer. I don't want to suffer, I love myself.'
