Actress Tunisha Sharma’s death by suicide on the set of her show Ali Baba: Daastan-E-Kabul is one of those shocking pieces of news which is hard to forget. Not just the friends and family of Tunisha are looking for closure but the fans too are seeking the same. Tunisha hung herself in one of the makeup rooms on the shoot location in Vasai, Mumbai on December 24.
Her mother filed a Police complaint and accused her co-star Sheezan Khan for abetting her daughter to suicide. The police has taken custody of Sheezan and an investigation is underway. Meanwhile, Vinita Sharma opened up about the entire situation to India TV and revealed many details.
Talking about her last conversation with Tunisha, her mother said that Tunisha spoke to her sometime before lunch on that fateful day. After lunchtime, she hung herself. Vinita Sharma said that Tunisha mentioned her desire to go to Chandigarh for Christmas and she agreed to it. She also mentioned taking a break from shooting for this short getaway. “I was feeling anxious the whole day after I spoke to her. I was undecided about whether to go on set or stay at home. I decided to call the EP (Executive Producer) to ask about Tunisha’s schedule. I was taken aback when I got a call from the set that my daughter has been taken to the hospital.”
Her mother also talked about how Tunisha found out about Sheezan Khan’s affair. She has claimed that her sudden break up with co-star Sheezan Khan was the reason for her to take such a drastic step. Vinita detailed how Tunisha had found out about Sheezan’s affair from his chats. “Tunisha and Sheezan were in a relationship. When Tunisha found out about Sheezan’s relationship with another woman, he broke up with her. My daughter was very sensitive. When Sheezan ended the relationship, she was broken to the core. Even I questioned Sheezan over his affair besides Tunisha. But he apologised to me,” Vinita Sharma added.
Tunisha Sharma’s mother has insisted that WhatsApp chats from Sheezan Khan’s phone will reveal the truth. The police is trying to retrieve the chats he has deleted. Her mother said, “She was working on the show even after her break up. Shezaan Khan’s mother is involved in this. Tunisha decorated Sheezan’s home for his birthday. She bought him expensive gifts. I did not understand what was happening. She was wearing niqab. She was slowly accepting their religion. She got involved too much with Sheezan and his family. My daughter was never like this. He knew that my daughter was from another religion before they started the relationship. Tunisha told me that Sheezan’s mother was calling and troubling her. Even I spoke to Sheezan’s mother but she outrightly denied it.”
