Earlier, Sooraj and Jiah were in a relationship and her mother Rabia Khan even alleged that the actor was murdered. Rabia had filed a case against Sooraj. The case had been in the courts for a decade before he was acquitted in May last year.
Notably, before Akansha Sharma, Sooraj's name was linked with a Brazilian model. The Brazilian model is rumored to be dating Aryan Khan currently.
