Some Lesser Known Facts

Rabia Khan is a former Indian actor and writer known for her work in Hindi films.
She is originally from Agra, Uttar Pradesh.
Rabia pursued her acting dreams by moving from Agra to Mumbai.
Tahir Hussain, Aamir Khan's father, discovered her in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
She then moved to Mumbai to live with the Khan family and learned acting skills and Urdu language from Zeenat Hussain.
After her acting career, Rabia worked as a scriptwriter for a UK-based TV series and as a concept writer for the BBC.
She later married Indian-American businessman Ali Rizvi Khan and moved to the United States, where she gave birth to Nafisa Rizvi Khan (Jiah Khan).
In late 1989, Rabia and Jiah relocated to London, UK.
Rabia then married Thomas Puppendahl and has two daughters with him, Karishma and Kavita Khan.
She believes her daughter Jiah Khan's death was a murder and has named Sooraj Pancholi as the main suspect.
Rabia approached the Bombay High Court, seeking a CBI inquiry into Jiah's death.
She consulted British forensic expert Jason Payne James, who stated Jiah's death was not a suicide.
Rabia later requested a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to handle the case in the Bombay High Court.
In April 2023, Sooraj Pancholi was acquitted in the Jiah Khan suicide case by the special CBI court in Mumbai.
Rabia Khan has announced plans to challenge the verdict in the high court.
