On Monday, the accused Sheezan Khan’s family held a news conference to respond to the purported claims made against them by the late actor Tunisha Sharma family. His mother, sisters Falaq Naaz and Shafaq Naaz, as well as Sheezan’s attorney Shailendra Mishra, discussed Tunisha’s claimed past mistreatment by her family. They denied the assertions made by Vanita Sharma, Tunisha’s mother, that Sheezan had a “secret girlfriend” and that Tunisha was “forced” to wear a headscarf.

At the press conference, Mishra stated, “Tunisha’s so-called uncle Pawan Sharma was her former manager, he was fired 4 yrs ago because he used to interfere a lot & behave harshly with her.” He went on to say, “Tunisha & Sanjeev Kaushal (an uncle in Chandigarh) had terrible relations. Sanjeev Kaushal & her mother, Vanita used to control Tunisha’s finances. Tunisha often pleaded in front of her mother for her own money.”
Mishra added, “Tunisha used to panic a lot upon hearing name of Sanjeev Kaushal. On instigation of Sanjeev Kaushal, Tunisha’s mother broke her phone & tried to strangulate her. Sanjeev Kaushal & Tunisha’s mother used to control Tunisha’s life.”According to the attorney, Tunisha’s relatives used to manage her finances and were to blame for her sadness and panic attacks in the years leading up to her death.
In response to Vanita’s charges, Sheezan’s sister Shafaq Naaz stated that the photograph of Tunisha wearing a hijab was taken for the show and not in real life. She said, “The picture of Tunisha in hijab being circulated is from the set of the show which was part of the shoot. It can be seen. We never made her wear hijab, it was from the channel.”

His other sister Falaq Naaz said, “Sheezan didn’t have any other girlfriend. That girl was called for recording her statement. There’s no secret girlfriend.” She added, “Tunisha’s mother accepted that she has been neglecting Tunisha & that she didn’t take care of her. Tunisha’s depression was due to her childhood trauma.”
On December 24, Tunisha, a 20-year-old actress, was discovered dead on the Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul set. Sheezan, her co-star and ex-boyfriend, was placed in judicial custody on Saturday for a 14-day period.
