Actor Tunisha Sharma’s mother faints at her daughter’s funeral

Mumbai:

Actress Tunisha Sharma’s mother passed out briefly during her daughter’s funeral in Mumbai today. In a video clip from the Mira road crematorium in the city, she could be seen collapsing in the middle of the last rites. The people around her catch up with her and help her up.

Tunisha Sharma is believed to have died by suicide on the sets of a TV series, and her funeral took place around 3pm today.

Tunisha’s maternal uncle said his body was taken from JJ Hospital to the morgue at Pandit Bhimsen Joshi Hospital in Bhayandar West last night.

Tunisha’s mother was sick last night too, the uncle had said earlier. “She felt dizzy when she saw Tunisha’s body,” he said.

According to the police, they received information that after the tea break, the actress went to the toilet on the sets of a filming in Vasai in the Palghar district, and when she did not return, the police broke down the door and found that she had hung herself.

No suicide note was recovered on the spot by the police.

Earlier on Monday, the actor’s mother accused Sheezan Khan, co-actor of the TV show they were filming, of cheating on her and breaking his promise to marry him as she urged the police not to spare him.

Sheezan Khan is in custody and is being questioned.
