A Mourning Mother

Tunisha Sharma Suicide Case 

Reportedly, Vanita’s daughter, Tunisha Sharma was dating Sheezan Mohammed Khan, an Indian actor.

Drifting Away From Daughter

According to Vanita, Tunisha had changed a lot after being in a relationship with Sheezan for almost three months which gave Vanita a sense of drifting away from her daughter. Vanita, in an interview, revealed that Tunisha was being influenced by Sheezan’s family so much that she started doing things against her mother’s will. She revealed, despite being familiar with the fact that Vanita does not like pet dogs, Tunisha got a pet dog at home after Kehekshan Parveen, Sheezan’s mother, encouraged her to do so. Vanita added that Sheezan’s sister Falaq Naazz took Tunisha to a tattoo artist and got a tattoo inked on her left forearm that read ‘Love Above Everything’ despite Vanita’s disapproval.

While talking to the media, Vanita said that Tunisha was getting attached to Sheezan’s family over time, and she used to call Sheezan’s mother ‘Ammi’ and his sister ‘Aapi.’

Urdu: The Language of Love

Vanita, in an interview, revealed that Sheezan’s family taught Tunisha Urdu, and she even started speaking Urdu. Vanita further claimed that Tunisha, who would often buy Sheezan expensive gifts, was being pressured by Sheezan Khan’s family to follow Islam; however, Khan’s family responded to the allegation and said that they never forced anyone to do anything and all other allegations are being made out of hate for the religion.

Exposing Sheezan’s “Secret” Girlfriend

Reportedly, Tunisha once checked Sheezan’s phone and found that he was cheating on her. On confronting Sheezan about the chats, Sheezan slapped her in his green room on the set of the television series ‘Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul’ (2022) and said that their relationship was over. While talking about this incident in an interview, Vanita said,

Tunisha once checked his phone and found that he was cheating on her. On confronting Sheezan, he slapped her in his room at the set and said that she could do whatever she wanted. He even told her that he has no relation with her now (tumhe jo karna hai kar lo, mera tumse koi rishta nahi hai).”

According to some sources, Tunisha and Sheezan broke up in November 2022 but decided to continue working together.

Abetment to Death

On 24 December 2022, nearly two weeks after breaking up with Sheezan, Tunisha Sharma hanged herself in the bathroom of the makeup room of her ex-boyfriend, Sheezan Mohammed Khan, in a studio in Naigaon, Maharashtra. She was immediately taken to JJ Hospital in Mumbai, where the doctors declared her ‘brought dead.’ Moments before her death, Tunisha shared a story on her Instagram account from the sets of her TV show. In the story, she could be seen getting her hair and makeup done.

Reportedly, Vanita Sharma filed a case against Sheezan Khan for abetment to suicide. On 25 December 2022, Waliv police arrested Sheezan Khan registering a case of abetment to suicide under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The ‘Love-Jihaad’ Angle

Days after Sheezan’s arrest, many political leaders including the Bharatiya Janta Party MLA from Maharashtra Atul Bhatkhalkar demanded a probe be conducted from a ‘love jihad’ angle into Tunisha Sharma’s suicide case. Tunisha Sharma’s uncle, Pawan Sharma, talked about this in an interview and claimed that it is a matter of love jihad and requested police officials to investigate the matter from this perspective. Pawan Sharma, in the interview, said,

I believe that this is a matter of 100 percent love jihad. I want the police to investigate it in a special way, not only that the police should investigate this case separately. We do not know whether it is suicide or what else. We do not have any video recording.”
