Sooraj Pancholi On Father Aditya Pancholi's Controversies: "Don't Agree With The Way He Handled Things"

The actor said, “My father has a certain image as this bad boy person, who has done many things wrong"

Sooraj Pancholi, son of the actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, recently opened up on his equation with his father. Sooraj told Siddharth Kannan that he doesn't “agree with the way Aditya Pancholi has handled things in life”. The actor said, “My father has a certain image as this bad boy person, who has done many things wrong. I don't agree with it, of course, he has done things wrong. He is my father, I love him no matter what baap ek hi hota hai. I don't agree with the way he has handled things in his life but in a way I have forgiven him because I know I am his only support in life. I want to make him proud.” 

Aditya Pancholi was accused of allegedly raping actress Pooja Bedi's underage domestic help. In 2019, Kangana Ranaut filed a sexual assault complaint against Aditya Pancholi, whom she reportedly dated in the early 2000s. 

In the same interview, Sooraj Pancholi said, “At that time, mujhe pata bhi nahi tha ki kya ho raha hai. Maine yeh sab realise kiya industry mai aane ke baad jab main logo se mila, jab maine news padhna shuru kiya [I didn't know what was happening. I only realised this after entering the industry. When I met people, when I started reading news pieces.] then I understood ki okay, these are the things that have happened. It, of course, hurt me a lot but like I said I love my father.”
