Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan says that he is very upset over the suicide of actress Jiah Khan.
"I am very sad and also worried. It feels strange to talk about it. Sometimes there are situations when someone gets sad and depressed. They come with dreams and when it is not fulfilled, they give up. I want to say that to end your life like this is not good. I am deeply upset with what has happened with Jiah Khan," he said at an event here Wednesday.
The 25-year-old Britain-born Jiah was found hanging at her flat in Sagar Sangeet Building in the posh Juhu area of northwest Mumbai around midnight when her parents had gone out.
Jiah shot into the limelight with her 2007 debut movie "Nishabd" in which she starred opposite Amitabh Bachchan. She was also seen in films like "Ghajini" and "Housefull".
