Tunisha died by suicide on Saturday on the sets of her television show Alibaba – Dastaan-e-Kabul. No suicide note was recovered at the spot by police.
According to ANI, police have said the reason behind Tunisha’s alleged extreme step that ended her life could be her breakup with Sheezan over a fortnight ago. The FIR of the case revealed that the two actors were in a relationship, and had broken up 15 days ago. Tunisha was reportedly under stress, and it is suspected that’s what drove her to the edge, said the Mumbai police.
Parth Zutshi, Tunisha’s another co-star on the show, was also called by the police on Sunday for questioning regarding the alleged suicide. “I was called for questioning by police and was asked general questions. I can’t comment on her relations, I don’t have any idea, it was her internal matter,” he told the media. She said she was stressed but didn’t take any drugs.
Tunisha had made her acting debut with the TV show Bharat Ka Veer Putra – Maharana Pratap and had also played young Katrina Kaif in films like Fitoor and Baar Baar Dekho. She had also worked in Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh and Dabangg 3.
Sharing his condolences on the death of the 20-year-old actor, Karan Kundrra tweeted, “Shocking and extremely sad.. such a young and promising life gone too soon. I pray to god to give her loved ones strength #TunishaSharma Om Shanti (folded hands emoji). It’s my request to everyone: there’s always light at the never forget the end of a dark tunnel.
