The Indian Express quoted Jiah Khan as saying in the letter that she was ending her life because, "I have no reason to breathe anymore. All I wanted was love. I did everything for you. I was working for us. My future is destroyed. My happiness snatched away from me. You never appreciated my love. kicked me in my face. I have no confidence or self esteem left. Whatever talent, whatever ambition, you took it all away. You destroyed my life."

"All you want in life is partying, your women, your selfish motives. All I wanted was you and my happiness. You took both away from me. I spent selflessly on you."

"I have nothing left to live for in this world after this. I wish you had loved me like I love you. I leave this place with nothing but broken dreams and empty promises. All I want now is to go to sleep and never wake up again," said the letter.

The details of the letter however could not be independently verified by HT.

When contacted, Juhu police refused to divulge the details of the letter but said investigators are in the process of seeking legal opinion to ascertain if the contents of letter amount to abetment in the actor's suicide.

The police also said they are verifying the authenticity of the letter.

The family of the deceased actress handed over the notarized copy of the letter to the police on Saturday. The family notarized the letter, penned down in English, so that it could not be manipulated at a later stage.

Sources said that six-page letter, allegedly written by Khan, was recovered by the family from her bedroom. It has been said that the letter did not mention any names and was not addressed to anyone in particular.

Jiah Khan also has reportedly written about a party in Goa and a medical procedure she underwent during the relationship. While the family has kept the original copy with themselves a notarized copy will be given to the Juhu police for further probing.

Jiah Khan has not named anyone in the letter. It was also confirmed by the police that Jiah Khan, had attempted suicide earlier by slashing her wrist. But it was only after the medical procedure she underwent, that she took the drastic step.

Twenty five-year-old Jiah Khan had committed suicide by hanging herself at her Juhu residence on June 3.

The police will also send the letter for forensic analysis to confirm if it was written by the late actress. They also hope to ascertain the approximate date it was written on.

Officials have said that the letter may play a crucial role in the investigation as it has a mention of Khan's troubled relationship with Pancholi.
