According to Tunisha Sharma's uncle Pawan Sharma, the late star and her mother Vanita Sharma discussed Tunisha's being compelled to convert to Islam. He was replying to statements made lately during a news conference by Sheezan Khan's family and attorney. Last month, Tunisha was discovered dead on the sets of her television programme Alibaba: Dastaan-E-Kabul. Police are looking into her death.
Sheezan, Tunisha's co-star and ex-boyfriend, was detained by authorities and is currently being questioned while in detention. Recent statements from his mother, sisters, and lawyer indicated that Tunisha was not under any pressure to change her religion.
In response to their assertions, Tunisha had discussed this with her mother, Pawan stated in a recent interview with Dainik Bhaskar. “The way Tunisha acted has changed. Not just her mother or her relatives, but even the actors with whom she co-starred on the TV show, as well as her driver, are making this claim. The police are looking into every possibility, and we will back whatever they discover.”
Regarding the claims that Tunisha's mother allegedly broke her cell phone, “he added that no such incident has ever occurred. He also responded to claims that Tunisha's mother was tormenting her. The only person she felt close to was her mother. He explained to the Hindi daily that this was because, after Tunisha's father passed away, they had only each other to rely on.”
During the press conference, Sheezan Khan's attorney Shailendra Mishra had stated, "It was Sanjeev Kaushal and Tunisha's mother who dominated and controlled her. After the lockdown, the actress was even coerced into going to Chandigarh by Tunisha's mother and Kaushal; when she refused, Vanita destroyed her phone and even tried to choke her.” All of this information was disclosed by Tunisha to the show's director at the time. At the press conference, Sheezan's mother Kehekhan Faisi, his sisters Shafaq and Falaq Naaz, and Sheezan himself were also there.
