Actress Jiah Khan, who was laid to rest in Mumbai Wednesday, lived with her rescued cats, and was compassionate towards animals, according to an animal rights organisation.
She was an active supporter of PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) India, and even featured in an advertisement urging the Indian government to cut out glass-coated manja and not birds’ wings. She also got into a tiny cage, all cramped up to show the plight of animals in zoos.
“Jiah was always there to help animals in distress and speak for them,” Sachin Bangera, manager, Media and Celebrity Projects, PETA India, said in a statement.
“In Mumbai, she lived with her cats whom she had rescued, She would always be on the lookout for animals in distress and would work to provide them relief. Jiah was a compassionate person,” added Bangera.
Twenty-five-year-old Jiah, whose real name was Nafisa, committed suicide by hanging herself Monday night, leaving her family, friends and associates shocked. She was seen in films like “Nishabd”, “Ghajini” and “Housefull”.
Hmm so she is kind hearted human being. I can assure that those who loves animals are kind hearted bcuz I know that but dunno how to explain. She shudn’t have had committed suicide yarr. She is beautiful and one of the most attractive actress I have ever seen. This news made me really sad but life has to move. May god give strength to her family and friends to bear this irreparable loss.
