Mumbai: Actor Sooraj Pancholi has denied all reports that claimed he was expecting a child with Disha Salian.
Disha, who happens to be an ex-manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, also committed suicide days before the Kai Po Che! actor left for the heavenly abode.
In connection with her suicide case, the 29-year-old actor who made his debut with Hero was alleged of being involved in Disha's death. It was even said that Disha became pregnant with Sooraj Pancholi. While the Satellite Shankar star pressed her to abort the child, Disha was not ready to drop her baby.
Sushant, who had a cordial relation with her former manager was reportedly aware of her condition and therefore he extended his support to Disha.
Several articles also claimed Sooraj's alleged presence at Disha's flat during her death.
However, the actor has rubbished all allegations.
In an interview with a media outlet, Sooraj said: "I don’t even know who Disha is, I have never met her in my life. I found out about her after Sushant’s death, and I feel bad for the families involved."
"Someone has written this rubbish on their personal Facebook page, made it into a movie script and put it out there," he added.

When asked about the scuffle between him and Sushant, the Hero star said: "I was nowhere a threat to him. He treated me like a younger brother. Whenever we met, we either spoke about films or my fitness training. When the article about our 'tiff' came out in 2017, it was Sushant who had reached out to me. He told me, 'Bro, yeh koi faltu article aaya hai saying Salman bhai is angry with me. Can you please give a statement to clarify this?' He thought it would be better if I stated the facts, as the story claimed that he misbehaved with me. I clarified the reports. We met for dinner at a friend’s place after that in Bandra, clicked that funny picture where we posed like we are fighting and that’s it."
However, Sooraj also mentioned: "He was not a best friend of mine or anything."
Asked about his alleged involvement in both Sushant and Disha's death case, Sooraj stated: "It’s painful that Sushant is no more. The situation is such that anyone writes anything and it goes viral in a few minutes. People who don’t know the truth, actually believe what’s been written."
When questioned about Jiah Khan's case, the actor told: "I am very numb and hurt right now. This is affecting me a lot. I don’t know what to say. If the complainant (Rabiya) isn’t showing up in court, what are they looking for? Do they really seek justice or do they just want to harass me?"
