Actor Sheezan Khan’s family has come out in support of Khan, who has been accused of abetting the suicide of his co-worker and former girlfriend Tunisha Sharma. They alleged that it was Sharma’s mother Vanita who pushed her to take her own life by forcing her to work as an actor even when she was a child. They further claimed that Vanita did not care for Sharma or her mental health. Khan’s lawyer, said that they would soon file a bail application.

Sharma hanged herself to death at a Vasai studio on December 24. The incident came on the heels of her break up with Khan. Sharma’s mother, Vanita, had alleged that Sharma took the extreme step due to the break up and further claimed that Sharma was forced to wear hijab and that Khan had allegedly cheated on Sharma.
