Mumbai:  Vanita Sharma – the mother of the late actress Tunisha on Friday claimed that her daughter was under ‘pressure’ to convert to Islam.

Speaking to the media, she said Tunisha was constantly harassed in different ways by her ex-boyfriend Sheezan Khan and his family, she was forced to do many things against her wishes and was allegedly under duress to embrace Islam.

“They had an undue influence on our innocent, sensitive girl. She had even started addressing Sheezan’s mother as ‘Ammi’, his sister used to take her to a ‘dargah’ and celebrate her birthday,” said Vanita.

She said Sheezan was allegedly forcing her to accept Islam religion, and she had reportedly started sporting a ‘burqa’.

Tunisha, 20, committed suicide on Dec 24 on the sets of a teleserial being shot at a location in Vasai, and a day later, her co-star Sheezan was arrested after her mother accused him of cheating, two-timing, betrayal, ‘using’ her for three-four months and other things in a video-statement.
