'Jiah Khan was a happy soul'
Voices from Bollywood on the late actress Jiah Khan.

Siddharth Jain: The producer had signed Jiah for a three-film contract. He says, `It's shocking to hear about her. We were planning to work together. Since the last seven-eight months, she seemed aloof and wasn't around. I wish I knew what was bothering her. Also, not known widely, she was very emotional apart from being sensitive and kind.

Aamir Khan: The actor shared screen space with Jiah in Ghajini. He says, `I am deeply pained to hear this very tragic news. Jiah is a close family friend and I can only imagine what grief her mother and her family must be going through. I wish I had known that she was troubled and needed help.`


Chunky Pandey: The actor, who worked with Jiah in Housefull, says, `She was so much fun. We shot our portions in Italy and Macau and she was game for all kind of improvisations. She was a very happy soul, always laughing and I still can't believe what happened to her. In fact, I recently bumped into her and she looked very confident and happy.`

Amitabh Bachchan: @SrBachchan
`WHAT ...!!! Jiah Khan ??? what has happened ? is this correct ? unbelievable !!!`

Ram Gopal Varma: @RGVzoomin
I dont know the reason what led to this but jiah was very depressed about her career and scared for her future... Inspite of being highly appreciated in Nishabd nd being a part of hugely successful Ghazni and Houseful she had no work for the last 3 years.. The last time I met her jiah told me that everyone around her makes her feel like a failure just Cant believe this girl died.
