Remembering Jiah Khan on her 10th Death Anniversary, a Young Actress Who Passed Away at the Age of 25

Summary: On the 10th death anniversary of Jiah Khan, a beloved Bollywood actress, here is a glimpse into her prolific career in the film industry from inception.

Jiah Khan changed her name to Nafisa Khan after Gia, a movie starring Angelina Jolie (1998). The actress was born on 20 February 1988 to her parents Rabiya Amin, a yesteryear Bollywood actress known for her role in Dulha Bikta Hai by Tahir Husain, and Ali Rizvi Khan. She studied in New York at the Lee Strasberg Academy of Dramatic Arts after getting done with A-levels in film studies and literature in London. But soon she quit her studies in between on receiving an offer for a film from Mumbai.

She was 16 when Mahesh Bhatt offered her the lead role in 2004 for Tumsa Nahin Dekha. But Jiah backed out from the role as she felt the character was too mature for her. Thereafter she starred in Nishabd, her Bollywood debut in 2007, which was a controversial film for its storyline of an older man falling for a young girl, despite being married. The movie was directed by Ram Gopal Verma, and Amitabh Bachchan played her love interest.

The plot of an illicit affair was compared to the Hollywood classic Lolita of 1962. However, the character portrayal by Jiah Khan seemed genuine as she exuded attitude, confidence, and sex appeal. For this, she even was nominated for her performance as the ‘Best Debutant’. Then she landed with Ghajini in 2008, which was a super hit movie starring Amir Khan. The movie was a remake of a 2005 film by A R Murugadoss, of the same name, which had the actor Surya of the fame 'Raktha Charitra'.

Before the release of Ghajini, there were rumors that Jiah Khan is the step-sister of Amir Khan, as the latter’s father had worked in Dulha Bikta Hai with Rabiya, Jiah’s mother. But the rumors were ended after clarification. Then the actress moved on to Chance Pe Dance by Ken Ghosh in 2010. The movie starred Shahid Kapoor. She was then replaced by Genelia D’Souza after shooting a good number of scenes for the project.

However, she starred in Housefull, a hit comedy film in the same year. Jiah Khan was the supporting actress in Housefull, which contained a huge star cast. Sajid Khan was the director of the movie. The film starred big names such as Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal, and Lara Dutta. Here, Jiah did the role of Akshay’s wife. But the film, unfortunately, remained the last one where Jiah was seen on the big screen. Because on 3 June 2013, the actress reportedly died of suicide and was found dead in Juhu, Mumbai, in her flat. She was found hanging and a suicide note was recovered after a probe by CBI. Jiah was too young at that time and passed away at the tender age of 25.

Rant coming up.

This has been on my mind lately, and I needed time to sort my thoughts out. I briefly considered not writing about this, but I feel that I need to let this load off my chest. Apologies in advance if I upset anyone, that is not my intention. Oh and also, quite a long post ahead.

Exactly a week ago, Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide. I went through a whole myriad of emotions. It still affects and haunts me till today. Which is why I think I must let it out.

I first watched Sushant in Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil. My mother was into watching Hindi serials and somehow along the way, I joined her occasionally. A year or so later, I saw Sushant in Pavitra Rishta. I started watching the drama purely for Sushant. There was just something about the quiet and strong Manav that captured my attention. I then watched him on Jhalak Dikhlaja and supported him all the way as a fan.

A few years later, I saw him debuting in Kai Po Che, and I watched him in PK, as the ever dashing Sarfaraz. It was at this point, that I marvelled and remember telling my mother, “Hey mum, you remember Manav from Pavitra Rishta? He made it to Bollywood!”

It was this thing about him making it big and that his talent was not going unnoticed. With his death, it did shock many of his fans, me included. The more I looked into it, the more upset I get.

Here’s my two cents worth.

Nepotism has been rampant in the Bollywood industry lately. Kangna Ranaut raised many questions and got herself a fair number of enemies when she deemed Karan Johar as the flag-bearer of nepotism. One thing I admire about her is that she has the guts to fight for her cause. There are some actors who might not have relatives in the industry, but they have their respective godfathers to give them the push they need to rise.

I was born in the nineties, so I grew up to the likes of Karisma Kapoor, the Deol brothers, Raveena Tandon, Akshay Kumar, the Khans. It did not occur to me that some of these actors were products of nepotism. Back then nepotism was not rampant, unlike now. There are some who are supremely talented. However, it seems like now, just about anyone can be cast simply because of their connections.

It is true that producers or directors can launch whoever they want, but this raises a few questions. Are you launching a star kid because they generate profit better than the talented outsiders? Is launching a star kid better than launching a talented actor who worked their ass off to be where they are? Doesn’t launching star kids make the road much narrower for upcoming actors looking to make their mark?

There are so many gems in Bollywood that have been overlooked, and they are capable of so much more. They should be appreciated more and protected at all costs.

“Outsiders” who are under-appreciated:

Randeep Hooda, Jimmy Sheirgill, Ranvir Shorey, Sayani Gupta, Taapsee Pannu, Radhika Apte, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda, Siddharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani, Richa Chaddha, Manoj Bajpayee, Kangna Ranaut, Irrfan Khan, Kay Kay Menon, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Ayushmann Khurana, Rajkummar Rao, Sushant Singh Rajput, Vicky Kaushal, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Siddharth Malhotra (I know, people might say KJo is his godfather, but he is not a star kid and I feel that he grew by himself), Konkona Sen, Sharman Joshi, Pankaj Tripathi, Rajpal Yadav, Kalki Koechlin, Bipasha Basu, Dino Morea, Abhay Deol (he might be related to the Deols, but he worked his way up by himself damned well).

 I am a fan of star kids who I feel are talented and worked their asses off to enjoy the stardom they have now. I like Aamir Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and Karisma Kapoor a lot. I used to like Aliaa Bhatt because I felt like she had the guts to try out different projects and she proved she could act.

However, I somehow let my judgement cloud me a little and it has affected how I see these celebrities now. I came across a video of Katrina, Alia, Shahid and Varun ignoring Sushant at IIFA and it kinda sucked. I should not be judging just based on the context of that video, but still, it sucked seeing Sushant being ignored. Suffice to say, my level of disdain with these actors is going up.

When news of Sushant’s passing came out, I went onto Instagram and my newsfeed was flooded with many “tributes” to Sushant, by many actors from the film fraternity. It baffled me, because these actors posted photos with Sushant, as if trying to prove they had a genuine connection with him and that they apparently cared. Hmm. 

Some can even attempt to pull the attention to them, that depression is an issue we should address seriously. There are talks of actors getting Sushant’s projects, and endless preaching of depression, linking it back to themselves. I am sure you know who I am talking about, Repeat after me repeat after me, how about stop hogging the bloody spotlight?! My respect has only gone up for people like Kriti Sanon, Vivek Oberoi and Shraddha Kapoor, who really proved they are friends who loved him. It struck me that this industry I grew up loving, turned out to be shallow and fake.

I unfollowed some people on Instagram. I just got more annoyed when I hear directors say how star kids get roles and do not even need to audition for their roles. This is unfair.

If these talks about Bollywood sabotaging Sushant’s career and pushing him to the edge are true, they have disappointed us as fans. I see a lot of finger pointing after Sushant’s death. Fingers are pointed at the bigwigs of Bollywood, and somehow, us, the fans. That shocked the shit out of me. We as fans, appreciate our talents and actors, which is why we watch their movies in theatres and support them as much as we can, without caring if they notice us or not. I for one, go to the theatres to watch movies and wait excitedly to watch my favourite actors on screen. This shit about nepotism has to be addressed and if this is how it’s going, then so be it. Not being invited to weddings, parties, and to be rated and not invited on a stupid show on his looks and talents and being termed too boring. How could a mind like Sushant’s be boring? THAT IS UTTER COW DUNG.

Sushant’s death, like Irrfan’s, hit me like a personal loss. He grew by himself, defying all odds to be a self-made actor, oozing talent, and love for his fans. He had a brilliant mind, and he was a wonderful person in and out. He had an unsatiated curiosity on how the universe came about, and the thirst for knowledge got him excited. He made time for his fans, he did donations quietly, he sent children to space camps, he appreciated his fans and chose projects that showed his talent and he was paving a way for himself, in all aspects. He was an inspiration for many upcoming actors, who probably told their parents, “If Sushant could do it, there might be a chance for me.” It is sad that all these questions are raised after his abrupt departure. 34 is too young of an age to go, but we will never know what he went through before he made the decision to take this final step. All I have to say is, I hope you are happy wherever you are Sushant. Bollywood did not deserve a gem like you. May you shine as bright as the stars you used to marvel over. We will never forget you. Never.

My favourite two-hero films of all time- Part 1.

I miss the era when two superstars of the same generation collided on the big screen. Here are my favourite two-hero films of all time-

KARAN ARJUN(1995)

This film had everything a Bollywood movie could ask for. Romance,Action, Comedy, Drama- it had it all. It was a highly hyped release, since the starcast boasted of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Raakhee,Amrish Puri,Kajol and Mamta Kulkarni. The storyline of the film focused on a desolate mother and her two sons, who get to know about the truth about their father's death and vow to avenge him, but their greedy uncle kills them instead. 20 years later, they get reincarnated to complete the revenge. While Kajol plays SRK's love interest ( of course!), Mamta Kulkarni plays Salman's girlfriend. Salman was easily the surprise package of the film. His intense, brooding role made my day.

Available on- Sony LIV

KSHATRIYA(1993)

Honestly speaking, a film like this with so many superstars in one frame can't be made today, like can you imagine Dharmendra,Sunil Dutt, Vinod Khanna, Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Meenakshi Shesadri,Raveena Tandon, Divya Bharti, Raakhee, Puneet Issar and Prem Chopra in one movie in today's time? It was also a rare instance where Sunil Dutt and Dharmendra played father to their real life sons. The film is about an age-old enmity between two Kshatriyan families, over a cow sacrifice. They send their sons to foreign lands to keep them safe from their bloody enmity. Both of them end up becoming friends and a problem ensues when they refuse to continue their enmity. All the lead actors, especially Sunny Deol, acted really powerfully.

SUHAAG(1994)

This film was another big-ticket one, since it starred a good lead cast of Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Karisma Kapoor and Nagma. Though it is Ajay who is the main hero, Akshay is more than his sidekick in this film. Karisma and Nagma were more for just romance, though Lolo was the better and the more daring girl. She chased after Ajay's character since she was madly in love with him, and that cinema hall scene was indeed hilarious! The story revolves around Ajay(Devgn)and Raj(Akshay), two best friends who keep on playing pranks on each other and get into trouble regularly. One day, Ajay goes to get his passport made, but he is shocked when he finds out his real name. That night, he sees his mother keeping a Karvachauth and he demands answers. She tells him the whole story of how his father was wrongly framed and was sent to jail. On hearing this, Ajay goes and meets his father in jail and promises to destroy the man who framed him. Raj too joins him in this fight for justice, unaware of the fact that his father too was involved in this.

Available on- Prime Video, YouTube.

ANDAZ APNA APNA(1994)

One of the best comedy films of all time. The most shocking fact of this film is that such a great film like this, boasting of a starcast of Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor flopped miserably when it was released. The story revolves around Amar(Aamir)and Prem(Salman), two young jobless slackers who have been a burden on their father's heads. They dream to get rich by wooing and marrying Raveena Bajaj(Raveena), a super-rich heiress who has just returned from England. By doing some drama, Amar and Prem get into her house, but there is a gangster Teja(Paresh Rawal) and his two cronies, Robert and Bhalla, who scheme to kill Raveena and to take away all the wealth. And another problem is Raveena's bumbling secretary Karishma (Karisma Kapoor) who falls in love with Prem.

MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI(2004)

David Dhawan's two-hero formula has always worked with the audiences, so it's no surprise that this film too did. However, it's way different from his earlier films. It's a story of two men competing to win over a woman. Sameer(Salman) is a short-tempered, God-fearing simpleton who loses his temper at a drop of a hat. That's the reason why he's been unlucky in love. He relocates to Goa as a beach lifeguard. There he comes across a beautiful fashion designer Rani(Priyanka) and instantly falls in love with her. Unfortunately, along with being short-tempered, Sameer is also a ill-fated person, as he unknowingly ends up slapping Rani's father. Adding to the problem is his new roommate Sunny(Akshay) who too develops a liking for her. Rani is faced with a dilemma when she starts liking both Sameer and Sunny. Who will she choose? The songs, acting of the lead cast and the supporting cast, are the things to watch out for in this film.

Available on- Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, Jio Cinema.

HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM(1999)

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's second directorial focuses on love and marriage. It is the story of a musician Sameer(Salman) who comes from Italy to India to learn music from his master and starts living with his family. He constantly flirts, mocks and teases his master's daughter Nandini (Aishwarya) and gets along well with the family members. After some time, Nandini and Sameer become friends and over time, they gradually fall in love with each other. However, when her father finds out about their relationship, he tells Sameer to go away and never return. Sameer refuses to disobey his master and returns to Italy. Nandini gets married to Vanraj(Ajay) who also loves her. However, she still loves Sameer. Vanraj realizes that the love in Nandini's eyes isn't for him, but for Sameer. So, paying no regard to what people will say to him, he decides to sacrifice his love for her and takes her to Italy to reunite her with Sameer. Will he succeed? Watch the film to find out. The songs, Ajay and Salman's acting will make your day.

Available on- YouTube, Prime Video, Jio Cinema.

JAAN E MANN(2006)

Another love triangle. After the success of Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Sajid Nadiadwala roped in Shrish Kunder and superstars Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta for this film Jaan E Mann. It's about Suhaan(Salman) an aspiring actor who lands in a fix when his wife Piya(Preity) divorces him and asks him to pay 50 lakh as alimony. As he asks his uncle, midget lawyer Bonny Singh (Anupam Kher) how to pay, he comes across Agastya Rao(Akshay) an astronaut by profession who came by searching for Piya, since he had a crush on her in their college days. So, to avoid paying alimony, Suhaan decides to help Agastya in wooing Piya. And they travel to New York, where Piya is. However, in this quest Suhaan ends up falling in love with her again. What does he do next, watch the film to know more.

LONDON DREAMS(2009)

After directing successful films like Namastey London, Waqt:The Race Against Time, Vipul Amrutlal Shah set upon making a musical drama London Dreams. He brought together two superstars Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn and south star Asin. The film is about two childhood bff's Arjun(Ajay) and Mannu(Salman). Arjun dreams of becoming a world-famous singer and he runs away from home to London to accomplish his goals. Arjun grows up to be a singer, while Mannu becomes a womanizer who seduces married women. Arjun comes back home to take Mannu along with him to London. There, Mannu's behavior makes him more popular among the audience, which makes Arjun jealous. What does he do? Watch the film to know more.

SAAJAN(1991)

This came out at a time when Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit had established their careers as stars and Salman was the new reckoning force. Saajan focuses around Aman(Sanjay) a crippled, orphaned young boy, who is befriended by Akash(Salman) a rich boy. Both grow up as brothers. Aman becomes a poet with the pen name Sagar, while Akash becomes a casanova. Aman's poems become famous all over and he has millions of fans. One of them is Pooja(Madhuri) who is secretly in love with him, and confesses it to him through his letters. Over time, Aman also falls in love with her, but one day Akash comes across Pooja and falls in love with her. Aman is heartbroken when he comes to know of this, but he decides to sacrifice his love for Pooja and asks Akash to pose as Sagar. What happens next? Watch the film to find out.

That's Part 1. Will come back with Part 2 in some time.
