A television actor named Tunisha Sharma allegedly committed suicide on the set of a serial on Saturday in Vasai, Maharashtra’s Palghar district.
Sheezan Mohammed Khan, her co-star, is accused of aiding in the suicide.
The 20-year-old reportedly left the set to use the restroom and did not come back for a while, according to NDTV. She was discovered hanging inside when the door was smashed down. The actor was taken to the hospital by crew members, where she was pronounced dead.
According to senior inspector Kailash Barve of the Waliv police station, a police squad was present. Police said they are looking into all possibilities despite set members’ claims that Tunisha Sharma committed suicide.
The actor and her co-star, who was detained after her mother filed a complaint, had major parts in the television program “Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul,” where she was discovered hanging.
She began her career as an actor when she was a little child, portraying Chand Kanwar in the Sony TV series “Maharana Pratap.” Since then, she has been in various shows and Bollywood films, most notably portraying Katrina Kaif’s characters as children.
Before she passed away, Tunisha Sharma was active on Instagram. She shared a picture taken on the set of the photo shoot along with the message, “Those who are motivated by their Passion Doesn’t stop.”
