Filmmaker Abbas Alibhai Burmawalla of the Abbas-Mustan duo, who joined the funeral of the late actress Tunisha Sharma, grieved the death of the young actress and said she could have spared a thought for her mother and loved ones before taking the extreme step.
“It is a very sad and disappointing news that at such a young age of 20 she took a drastic step without thinking about her mother and others in the family,” Abbas said. “Today’s generation certain times don’t think much, but taking such a step is never right.”
Abbas continued to say that it was impossible for him to believe that the actress, who was a part of the cast of the duo’s upcoming film, ‘3 Monkeys’, is no more. He said: “We worked with her in the movie and we cannot believe, having known her, that she could take such a step.”
When asked about the stand taken by Tunisha’s family on her ex-boyfriend and ‘Ali Baba: Dastaan-e-Kabul’ co-star Sheezan Khan, Abbas got upset.
“What can her family say?” he asked. “They are going through a tough time. It is not easy for her mother to overcome the pain and we can just pray that God gives the family strength. May her soul rest in peace.”
Tunisha died by alleged suicide on December 24. Her ‘Ali Baba Dastaan-E-Kabul’ co-star Sheezan Khan, arrested for allegedly abetting her suicide, reportedly got emotional during a police interrogation on Monday night. Tunisha Sharma, who was acting in ‘Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul’, was found hanging in the washroom on the set of the serial on Saturday. She was 21.
Sheezan was arrested on Sunday for abetment of suicide after Tunisha’s mother registered a police complaint against him. There was a speculation that Tunisha was pregnant. However, the postmortem report made it clear that the actress was not expecting and died because of suffocation after hanging.
