Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Neha Mehta said that she was reminded of the late Balika Vadhu star Pratyusha Banerjee when she heard about Tunisha Sharma`s death. Tunisha was found dead on Saturday on the sets of her TV show and cops are investigating her death from murder and suicide angles.
Tunisha`s co-star and ex-boyfriend Sheezan Khan has been remanded to police custody for four days after he was arrested on Sunday. Tunisha`s mother had filed a case of abetment to suicide against Sheezan. He and Tunisha featured opposite each other in their TV show Alibaba - Dastaan-e-Kabul.
Neha said, “I was reminded of the Balika Vadhu girl - Pratyusha Banerjee. Just days before her death, she came to my sets and had asked for a hug. I even met Tunisha two months ago at a clinic and she told me she was my fan and I could only say that I am her fan as well. I have no clue what happened, she was wonderful.” Pratyusha Banerjee died of an apparent suicide in 2016, at the age of 24.
