Tunisha Sharma Death: Sheezan Khan's sister slams media for making a mockery out of her brother's turmoil

Shafaq Naaz, Sheezan Khan's sister, has now addressed in response to accusations made against her brother over the death case involving Tunisha Sharma. The actor has been in police arrest for five days after Tunisha's family accused him of aiding the suicide. Earlier, in an  interview with India TV, Naaz stated that Sheezan's brother is "equally shaken up" by Tunisha's death. She said it was a difficult period for the family and that Sheezan is innocent.

Now, Shafaq Naaz and Falaq Naazz, sisters of television actor Sheezan Khan, have released a statement criticising the media for the manner their brother has been "targeted." Additionally, they urged everyone to use "common sense" and suggested that before blaming their brother entirely, people should stop and consider the entire issue.

The statement reads: "It breaks our heart how our silence has been understood as weakness. This is probably what they call 'Ghor Kalyug'. Where's the research of some media portals before reporting things? Where's the common sense of the masses? For all the people demeaning Sheezan - ask yourself this - are you talking based on the situation, or are you talking out of hate for a religion? Or are you talking out of influence from previous events? Stay woke, people!"

"The journalism standards of a certain section of media have stooped so low that it only functions based on TRP. And you are their consumer. It's equally your responsibility to report news with unreliable sources," the statement read. The statement continued by stating that there is a need for those who are able to comprehend reality free from bias based on religion or any other narrative.

"Don't be fooled... we also notice, and are very thankful for the masses as well as media portals who are able to see through the false narratives - we need more people like you. But all in all, it's so upsetting to see these people relentlessly malign Sheezan this way. From making up stories to dragging religion into the matter and random people claiming to be our acquaintances for their 15-minute fame. This situation has really revealed how some humans can get to defame someone. God bless Tunisha, and hope she's in a better place now," the statement concluded.

On December 24, Tunisha was found dead on the Alibaba: Dastaan-e-Kabul set. Sheezan, her co-star, was rumoured to be her boyfriend. He was taken into custody in accordance with Section 306 of the IPC as a result of a complaint made by her mother.
