Salman has supported Sooraj for many years, even during difficult times. Sooraj was accused in the suicide case of his late girlfriend. However, he was recently cleared of all charges.
In an earlier interview with Bollywood Bubble, Sooraj shared how Salman stood by him. “Salman sir asked me one question—‘Did you do anything wrong?’ I said no, and he never doubted me after that. He trusted me,” Sooraj said. He also mentioned that Salman understood the pain of being judged by the media.
Sooraj explained how hard it was to go through the legal system and be judged by the public. “I was proven not guilty, but no one reported that. The media didn’t support me,” he added.
