Jiah Khan laid to rest
Actress Jiah Khan, who committed suicide by hanging herself at her Juhu residence , was laid to rest at Santa Cruz graveyard, Mumbai on Wednesday.
While Jiah's sister and her mother were inconsolable, her boyfriend, Suraj Pancholi, who came to bid her a final farewell, was in tears too.
Celebrities like Riteish Deshmukh, Kiran Rao, Siddartha Mallya, Sophie Chaudhary, Urvashi Dholakia, and Prem Chopra went to her residence to pay their final respects.
The Britain-born actress was found hanging at her flat in Sagar Sangeet building in the posh Juhu area of northwest Mumbai Monday midnight.
She used to live there with her mother and sister who were not at home when she ended her life. Tuesday night actor Aamir Khan, who worked with Jiah in `Ghajini', visited her residence around 11.30 p.m. and met her mother.
PETA lauds Jiah
Actress Jiah Khan was compassionate towards animals, according to an animal rights organisation PETA.
She was an active supporter of PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) India, and even featured in an advertisement urging the Indian government to cut out glass-coated manja and not birds' wings. She also got into a tiny cage, all cramped up to show the plight of animals in zoos.
'Jiah was always there to help animals in distress and speak for them,' Sachin Bangera, manager, Media and Celebrity Projects, PETA India, said in a statement.
'In Mumbai, she lived with her cats whom she had rescued, She would always be on the lookout for animals in distress and would work to provide them relief. Jiah was a compassionate person,' added Bangera.
