Sheezan Khan's family denies love-jihad allegations made by Tunisha Sharma's mother

Tunisha Sharma died by suicide on December 24. The 20-year-old actress’ funeral took place on December 27. On Monday morning, Sheezan’s mother and sisters – actresses Shafaq Naaz and Falaq Naaz – held a press conference in Mumbai where they addressed allegations made against the actor. Addressing Tunisha’s family’s charges, Sheezan’s family told the media that these were baseless and allegations of love jihad and black magic were sad. The family also addressed the love jihad allegations made by Tunisha’s mother. Falaq Naaz said, "Tunisha was like my sister. I met her on the sets of a shoot in Ladakh. Since then, I have acted like an elder sister to her. We could never see her in trouble. All these talks about hijab, dargah are baseless. Following a religion is our own personal choice. It is our personal space. We never force anyone. It is not even our right. People are saying we forced her to wear hijab, but it is a picture from one of her shoots." For the uninitiated, a picture of Tunisha wearing a hijab was circulating on the internet a few days ago. Many claimed it as proof of the love jihad claims.
