Sheezan Khan, a troubled actor, detained since December 25 in connection with the death of Tunisha Sharma, organised a news conference to give their version of events.
Actress Tunisha Sharma, who allegedly died by suicide on Christmas eve, her mother and uncle alleged that Sheezan and his family mistreated Tunisha, including physical violence. Still, Sheezan’s advocate denied everything and blamed Tunisha’s family.
Sheezan Khan’s family members, sisters Falaq and Shafaq Naaz, his mother, and their lawyer Shailendra Mishra hosted a press conference in Mumbai.
“There is no love jihad. It is a false narrative. Tunisha used to panic a lot upon hearing the name Sanjeev Kaushal. At the instigation of Sanjeev Kaushal, her mother broke her phone and tried to strangulate her…Sanjeev Kaushal and Tunisha’s mother used to control Tunisha’s life,” advocate Shailendra Mishra said.
“Her mother and uncle used to control Tunisha’s finances. She would often plead in front of her mother for her own money,” said Sheezan Khan’s advocate.
Pawan Sharma, who calls himself Tunisha’s uncle, was her former manager who was fired as he behaved harshly with her.
“Tunisha’s so-called uncle Pawan Sharma was her former manager, who has fired four years ago because he used to interfere in her affairs and behave harshly with her”, added Mishra.
According to reports, Tunisha Sharma was dating Sheezan Khan. Tunisha Sharma is believed to have committed suicide on December 24, a fortnight after the two broke off their relationship of a few months.
