Late television actress Tunisha Sharma’s mother Vanita has reacted to Sheezan Khan's family's claims that she would control her daughter's finances and leave her pleading for money.
Denying the allegations, she told Aaj Tak that she transferred Rs 3 lakh to Tunisha in three months, and her bank statement is the proof. "I am not going to spare Sheezan. I am not here to understand relationships. I am here to get justice. Sheezan and his entire family are involved in this. Tunisha was my life. She never concealed anything from me. In the last 3-4 months, she was getting closer to his family. The entire family used Tunisha. Sheezan’s mother has claimed that I wouldn’t give her money. I gave her Rs 3 lakh in three months. You can see my statement," she said.
Tunisha's mother also said that the actress was disturbed after her breakup with Sheezan. "I told her to concentrate on the show. Sheezan had even slapped Tunisha. Tunisha had told her friends that Sheezan used to do drugs, and that she was being forced to do it as well. She had started smoking. I want all the reports," she said.
Tunisha Sharma's suicide
Tunisha was found dead on the sets of the show on December 24. She hung herself in the makeup room on the sets of 'Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul'.
Tunisha was reportedly depressed for several days prior to her death because of her break up with Sheezan. The two allegedly broke up just 15 days before the actress claimed her life.
Sheezan is currently in police custody as Tunisha's mother filed an abetment to suicide complaint against him. So far, the police have recorded the statements of 27 people in the matter.
Shocking accusations by Tunisha's mother
Tunisha's mother had also stated earlier that Sheezan used to beat her and was forcing her to adopt Islamic practices.
However, addressing a press conference, Sheezan's sister Falaq Naaz accused Tunisha's mother of "neglecting" her and said that the deceased actor's depression was due to her childhood trauma.
