In a sensational claim, Vanita Sharma - the mother of the late actress Tunisha - said for the first time that there was `pressure` on her daughter to convert to Islam, here on Friday. Speaking to the media, she said that Tunisha was constantly harassed in different ways by her ex-boyfriend Sheezan Khan - currently in custody - and his family, she was forced to do many things against her wishes and pressures were allegedly built on her to embrace Islam.
Tunisha, 20, died on December 24 on the sets of a teleserial being shot at a location in Vasai, and a day later, her co-star Sheezan was arrested after her mother accused him of cheating, two-timing, betrayal, `using` her for 3-4 months and other things in a video-statement. `According to the police, Tunisha had lunch with Khan at the studio and later locked herself in the make-up room. The crew members knocked on the door of the make-up room but she didn’t open the door. Crew members then broke open the door and found her hanging from the ceiling. #TunishaSharma #SheezanKhan #TunishaSharmacase
