Mukesh Khanna on Tunisha Sharma’s suicide case: Parents shouldn't send kids at such an early age to work, says 'har Khan love jihad nahi karta'

Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul fame Tunisha Sharma, who died by suicide on December 24, 2022, left everyone shocked. Shaktiman fame Mukesh Khanna also shared his sadness and spoke about how partially it's also the actress' parents fault for letting kid's work in the industry at such a young age.
Mukesh Khanna shared the video on his youtube channel and cautioned parents against sending their kids to Mumbai to perform in the TV, film, and OTT industries.He said, “I would like to blame everyone’s parents for sending their kids away at such a young age. In these years TV has become very fast and everyone in the industry is working late hours to complete work. I am not saying that boys don’t die by suicide but girls are more emotional and need support in tough times, especially in this industry.”
He further added, “I would like to tell all the parents who send their kids to Tinseltown/ Bollywood thinking that his/her girl is talented and leave her in this industry. I would also tell the parents that please visit their kids after every month and try to find out what they are doing and who they are friends with. It is also important for parents to be friends with their kids so they don’t go through depression.”
Mukesh Khanna also touched upon the 'love jihad' angle that is being discussed but said that just because Sheezan's surname is Khan he cannot be blamed.
"Her boyfriend has been held in this connection. His name has Khan at the end and many people will give a love jihad angle to it. I will not go into that direction as it is not necessary that every Khan is involved in this (har khan zaroori nahi iss tarah ke kaam karta hai)," he added.
Tunisha Sharma's funeral was held on December 27 at a crematorium ground in the Mira Road area, and actors Shivin Narang, Vishal Jethwa, Kanwar Dhillon, Ashnoor Kaur, Avneet Kaur, Siddharth Nigam, Abhishek Nigam and Reem Shaikh attended. Tunisha's funeral was attended by Sheezan Khan's mother and sister.


The actress was found hanging to the fan in ex-boyfriend and co-star Sheezan Khan’s makeup room. On December 27, Tunisha's family performed her last rites.
