On Monday, Sheezan's sisters and mother held a press conference, refuting false allegations made by Tunisha's mother on the actor and his family.

Tunisha Sharma Death Case

Tunisha Sharma died by suicide on the sets of her show 'Ali Baba: Daastan-E-Kabul’. She hung herself in the dressing room of her co-star and ex-boyfriend, Sheezan Mohammed Khan.

Sheezan was taken into custody by the Waliv police in Palgarh district on December 16. He was then sent into judicial custody for 14 days.

In a press conference earlier, Tunisha's mother and uncle alleged that Sheezan and his family members forced Tunisha to convert to Islam. Lately, a picture of the late actress wearing a hijab (headscarf) has also been doing the rounds on social media.

On Monday, Sheezan's mother and sisters, Shafaq Naaz and Falaq Naaz responded to these allegations made by Tunisha's family.

Sheezan's sister 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."

Addressing the media, the Khan family said that on the contrary, Vanita Sharma was forcing Tunisha to work though she was suffering from depression owing to childhood trauma.

"Tunisha was suffering from depression due to a childhood trauma... She was made to sign for two music videos though she was not interested... If her mother had not forced her to work she would have been alive today," said Shafaq Khan.

They further claimed that Tunisha's relations with her mother were purportedly strained and Vanita had allegedly once tried to strangle her daughter. (ALL IMAGE: MANAV MANGLANI).
