Tunisha Sharma's mother always neglected her, leading to her depression: Sheezan's sister Falaq Naaz
Mumbai, January 2: The family of Sheezan Khan, accused in the Tunisha Sharma death case, on Monday alleged that Tunisha's depression was due to her childhood trauma and accused the deceased's mother for it.
Addressing a press conference, Sheezan's sister and co-actor Falaq Naaz accused Tunisha's mother of "neglecting" her and said hat the deceased actor's depression was due to her childhood trauma.
"Tunisha's mother accepted that she has been neglecting Tunisha and that she didn't take care of her. Tunisha's depression was due to her childhood trauma," said Falaq Naaz.
Falaq Naaz also denied that Sheezan had any other girlfriend than Tunisha and called it a false narrative being spread. "Sheezan didn't have any other girlfriend. That girl was called to record her statement. There's no secret girlfriend," said Falaq Naaz.
Incidentally, Falaq had on the day of Tunisha's cremation announced that they would speak to the media and put their side of the story.

"Tunisha's so-called uncle Pawan Sharma was her former manager, who was fired four years ago because he used to interfere in her affairs and behave harshly with her," he said.
Sheezan's advocate alleged that Tunisha was in frightful awe of her 'uncle' from Chandigarh, who instigated her mother, Vanita, to strangulate Tunisha.
"Tunisha used to panic a lot upon hearing the name of Sanjeev Kaushal. At the instigation of Sanjeev Kaushal, Tunisha's mother broke her phone and tried to strangulate her. "Sanjeev Kaushal and Tunisha's mother used to control Tunisha's life," she added.
Advocate Mishra further alleged that Sanjeev and Tunisha's mother controlled her finances, so much so that she had to plead before her mother for her own money.
"Tunisha and Sanjeev Kaushal (an uncle in Chandigarh) had terrible relations. Sanjeev Kaushal and her mother, Vanita, used to control Tunisha's finances. Tunisha often pleaded in front of her mother for her own money," said Sheezan Khan's advocate.
