Tunisha Sharma was 'blackmailed' by Sheezan's family: Vinita Sharma

New Delhi: Amidst police custody of Sheezan Khan, late actress Tunisha Sharma’s mother, Vinita Sharma has made some alarming allegations against Sheezan and his family.

The entire nation was in shock as the sudden news of Actress Tunisha Sharma’s passing away unfurled. The 20-year-old actress committed suicide on December 24th.

The body of actress Tunisha was discovered hanging in the makeup room of her co-star and ex-boyfriend Sheezan when they were filming Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul. Since then, Sheezan has been accused by Tunisha’s mother of encouraging her suicide. 

Several startling pieces of information have emerged throughout the investigation into the death and Sheezan's detention by the police.

The relatives of Tunisha have levelled dramatic accusations against Khan and asked the police to treat the incident as a murder.

In a recent interview, the late actress's mother said that she had communicated with Sheezan after his and Tunisha’s split.

Vanita Sharma alleged that his family had taught her Urdu, when discussing how her daughter's behaviour altered after she started dating him. She added that Tunisha began to talk in the language and appeared distant.

In a conversation with India Today, Vinita said “I had only one kid, I have lost her, I won't let this boy get out. He used my daughter for months. I told her to speak and tell us if you are in another relationship… Speak to my daughter, but he just told me ‘Sorry Aunty, I can't help you’. He involved Tunisha so much in his life and his family that my daughter drifted away from the family. I used to ask her about their relationship but she never spoke much. He shouldn't have cheated on her. If he was in another relationship, then he should have informed her”

Continuing this conversation, she said “Tunisha was blackmailed by his family... She was taught Urdu, and she had also started speaking Urdu”

While the accused’s family has not yet made any statement, several pictures from Tunisha’s social media indicate that she was close to Falaq Naaz, Sheezan’s sister. The duo was often seen hanging out.
