    Jiah Khan (born Nafisa Rizvi Khan, 20 February 1988 – 3 June 2013) was a British-American actress
    and singer who appeared in three Hindi films from 2007 to 2010.[1]

    Born in New York City and raised in London, she was the niece of Pakistani
    actresses Sangeeta and Kaveeta. Khan always aspired to pursue a career in acting and moved
    to Mumbai for a film career. She made her film debut in the 2007 Ram Gopal
    Verma film Nishabdfor which she was nominated for Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. She
    was later noted for portraying a modern, independent woman in Ghajini which was the highest-
    grossing Bollywood film of 2008. Her performance in the latter earned her significant acclaim. Her
    final film appearance was in Sajid Khan's romantic comedy Housefull, which was the fifth highest-
    grossing Bollywood film of 2010. Khan had catapulted herself into the Bollywood 100 Crore
    Club with Ghajini and Housefull.[2]

    On 3 June 2013, she was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her bedroom of her family's residence
    at the Sagar Sangeet building in Juhu, Mumbai. Deemed a suicide in 2013, and re-confirmed as a
    suicide in 2016 following an extensive investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
    and a hearing at the Bombay High Court, Khan's mother continued to claim that Khan had been
    murdered by her boyfriend, actor Sooraj Pancholi, leading the prosecution to make a failed
    attempt to lay charges of murder and sexual assault in 2017. On 31 Jan 2018, nearly five years
    after her death, a court in Mumbai charged Pancholi with abetting Khan's suicide. The case has not
    yet been settled.
